Sign with small site
Get them to spend alot of money putting you into live tournaments, interviews etc getting your name out there
wait for the offers to roll in
???
profit

Just because he has a year long contract or w/e there does not mean he is going to be there forever

Yeah, Annette Obrestad had a contract with Betfair until she was 21 I think, then she made the move to Full Tilt and it seemed to work out for her.
I hope it works out for him.

1st of all - Yes, portuguese people do speak English. Its rare to speak as well as José does (I don't), but not that rare. My master is fully taught in English and there are a couple underdegrees in Portugal in which courses are thaught by non-portuguese teachers, etc., so you definitively have to learn it and speak it.

2nd - José, Congrats man! A tua história parece espetacular... Really well done! Neste país em crise de talento e esforço é bom ver gente como tu. Abraço e boa sorte.

really ? not for me ...

A) josé never took the easy way out. he started with almost nothing and grow grow and even now wants to improve. Lock Poker is similar to his story

B) Lock Poker hava a massive portuguese strength just have a look to the players who are in the team

Really cool reading but actually kind of destroyed my dreams. I don't think I can put down that amount of time around poker to get better at this time.

But you totallt deserve all this.

Keep it up.

congrats to jose!

Thanks a lot for the congratulations, I'm really happy and excited to be working with Lock. I also made a blog-post on my website(seen above) talking about my signing with lock as well as my opinion on coaching and whether its a worthwhile investment - how to choose a good coach, how to prepare for coaching, my coaching experience (both coaching and getting coached) and also my coaching philosophy. Hope you guys enjoy it, leave me any feedback you might have either here by PM or on my site and I'll try and get back to you. Thanks
