awesome. I can't offer my coaching services, but I am definitely in for a donation. Good job guys

The micro cash forum has a thread called Hands for Haiti, where 2 top high stakes players have created a series of hand analysis videos. I haven't had a chance to watch them myself, but it looks like they are freely available on Youtube, and I expect they are good.

Excellent

Also FYI just got a popup from the Stars Client saying that they have created a Haiti Fund that you can transfer $ directly from your Stars account with a P2P Transfer.

SN for the receiver is Haiti Fund

It's not nice to take money from the indigent.



Nicely done.

All I have to say is much respect for everybody in this thread, this is a great idea and seing how it works out is a great thing.

Well, i just read from the norwegian pokerforum (donkr.com) that a pokerstars account has been opened for people to transfer funds to. Not only that, pokerstars will match the total donations, and give the same!

Anybody can comfirm this is great

STARS classy site and Big respect to the posters in this thread some great offers in here.

And as a great man once said "give us your ****ING MONEY"

I am pleasently surprised to see this. Nice to see you guys giving time to help out people you dont know in a land far away. Love this forum and the people.

im a really difficult person to get ahold of and schedule around but im definitely willing to do this.

wish i could do more...but im broke and lazy. thats my excuse for being a crappy person.

This is great, much respect.

I'd like to contribute here as well, although it's going to be a bit different - formation wise - than your standard Skype/HH review session.

I'll take 3 "students" for a $100 donations for an "unlimited access" pass for the next 30 days. Oh, I'm a 2p2 Verified/Sponsored coach.

What that entails:

- I will answer every question related to poker you have over AIM or email for a 30 day period. (within reason, I obviously can't generate feedback on 100 hands a day for 30 days along with playing, full time job, and my other students).

I'm on AIM frequently and email goes to my blackberry, so I usually can respond quite quickly.

If you're interested, PM me with "Haiti Coaching" in the title and I'll get back to you ASAP.

If someone can handle a PS donation from me....I'll ship some dough

Thanks man, unfortunately this cannot be offered ITT.

Please contribute directly to a reputable organization.

Per the 2p2 announcement:

I believe PokerStars is now offering a way to contribute directly from the PokerStars client.

Under the special tournies tab scroll down to Haiti earthquake relief tournament's

You guys are gonna have to entertain this weekend by answering poker questions

I'm not gonna play - I donated instead

I'm in for $20,$1,$2,$5

I feel good about this tournament!

If any MTTer's wanna get better with HU play or SSNL 6-max cash, I'll go over HH's for donations to Doctors Without Borders.

I'll charge $20 per 75 hands. This can be negotiable if micro players wanna donate like $25 for a larger amount of hands at the microstakes.

With MTT's, I've only had success with 45 ($11 and $26) and $8 180-man's. The avg 45-man goes near 200 hands, so I'll just charge your regular BI and a half for those if it's more affordable, two BI's for 180's, but a min. donation of $20.

And FTP has an *Aid for Haiti* account to which people can transfer as well as the MTT's in yellow where the whole house fee is donated.

How much would it cost to have you upload your unplugged version of sk8erboi?

Too lazy to do any coaching but will donate 1% of my winnings in the EPT Deauville Main Event thats coming up next week

Awesome idea.

I'll donate 1 hour of coaching for $25, and match the donation. PM me if interested.

I am beaner on stars.

From people that have worked in places like this, I would recommend:
http://www.msf.org/

The irony is, that's a type of coaching I'd actually be qualified to give, I'm a Ph.D. candidate in counseling and am working on my license.

Willy, Parts Unknown let me know I should take his slot for coaching. I've made my donation to the Red Cross, but I'm not available tonight. Tomorrow through Sunday night?

LOL.

And thanks, SGT! Not available this weekend, but PMing you now and we'll set a time.

This is what I got from Mike Haven in my attempt to help this cause ...

I don't like the spam element of your post and I don't want to set a precedent for some sick people to advertise their wares on a "but it's for charity" basis.

If you want to post something acceptable, please put it in the BBV thread.

And this was my thread ...

Offering coaching advice in exchange for Haiti Relief Donations

Donations will be given to American Red Cross (www.redcross.org). Donations can be given by clicking on the "Donate Now" button on their website, by phone 1-800-733-2767, or by texting "Haiti" to 90999 to send a $10 donation to the Red Cross.
- If you dont want the information I can give you, please visit redcross.org on how you can help. A quick $10 donation using your text ms service on your phone would be fantastic. Please post a reply and make yourself known for making a donation in helping our world community.

For your donation to the Haiti Relief Fund I am going to offer you the following:

1) a list of online resources that will cover every aspect of online poker. From HUD's to calculators, video tutorials, recording your stats, and forums. These resources will teach you everything of poker from basic to advanced and are must-haves if you want to make a good living with online poker.

2) my strategy and assistance. Give me a pm if you have a question about a hand you played, or a question in general. I've been playing online poker for over 4 years, small and high stakes, all different areas of NL Holdem, have had many ups and downs, have lived and played in Vegas, written many strategies and experimented on the best possible ways to make money from this game, and am currently working on a poker mentor program that wont be finished til months from now.

3) some quick advice that is very important to put you in the right direction!

My goal: I want to raise $500 for Haiti Relief. If anybody can make a donation, please give me a pm (and post) with confirmation of the amount you donated. I'm going to keep this thread and goal updated. Thanks to all ===

I offered free coaching lessons a month ago and got suspended for 2 days cause it was "spammy". I want to coach people, and I want to help Haiti. What a great idea for me to start that thread. Win wins for all. Big shame on Mike Haven for having prevented something of good nature ===

Update:

We're now close to $1,100 in total donations and commitments! Great work everyone!

There's much more potential in terms of super generous profit sharing donations (gogogogo Mement and CCuster!), coaching time, and coach matching.

This will probably be the last ongoing update for a little while as there's so much support ITT, it's difficult to track the totals accurately. I do know that so far, we've done quite a bit and are capable of doing quite a bit more.

Wtf Mike thats pretty low.......but not as low as Ertai2's low low prices for coaching
