25% off poker lessons!

I have decided to re-open my coaching services.

Now is the perfect time to improve your game at a huge discount, as I'm offering poker lessons for 25% off!!! Improve your game significantly so when online poker sorts itself out you can annihilate your opponents!

I have decided that I will offer my services at 25% off of what my hourly coaching rate was when I last coached in 2010, which was $250 per hour. It will now be $187.50 per hour. I think this is a great value and you have the added bonus of knowing that I'm a considerably improved poker player since the last time I was coaching students.

My coaching lessons are two hours in length and I feel like a minimum of 5 lessons (10 hours) is ideal for being able to fully convey my knowledge to you and have a significant impact on improving your game. If you choose to purchase a 5 lesson package, I will give you even a further discount of 20% off of the already reduced hourly fee of $187.50 on the entire lesson package. That's only $150 per hour for quality poker lessons! That's a total of 40% off my normal coaching rate!!!

My specialties are NLHE 6 Max cash games and mass tabling. I can help boost your # of tables played by at least a table or two by helping you understand how to use a few secret things that I've discovered in my VPP quest this year... I have slightly over 930k VPPs so far in 2011.

If you would like to contact me about getting lessons feel free to private message me on Cardrunners.com or email me at "Duckslayer2k@gmail.com" and I'd be glad to respond.

I took a short break from cash games over the past few days and decided to play some Multi-Table Tournaments (MTTs). I did this partly because I wasn't running that good in cash games (- $2.4k below expectation in all ins) and because of a promotion Pokerstars is running. Pokerstars has a "2x" promotion this month, where they decide to double something on their site. Well, this week they happened to double the guaranteed money in the MTTs so I figured I'd give them a shot.

I've had some success in MTTs during my first two years of playing poker, winning $9.3k in a $10 rebuy on Stars, getting 5th in that same tournament before as well for $3.3k or so, and finishing 30 something in the Sunday Million for about $3k.

My friend, Bill, also played some MTTs at the same time as me and I ended up staking him for about half the tournies he played.

I ended up playing in 14 MTTs over the past two days and ended down about $250 despite going quite deep in two tournies. I'm down about $700 total after adding in the money I spent staking Bill and watching him lose almost every big all-in hand (each time as a big favorite or just losing a coin-flip).

I made it to 40th place out of 3,474 players in the $10 rebuy on Pokerstars last night... this one was pretty frustrating as I tried to steal the blinds with 98o and got called by the Big Blind who had 88. First place was something like $20k... so yea, came pretty close to winning big.

The other one I went deep in was the $100 freezout MTT on Pokerstars ($50,000 guaranteed prize pool) and I got 28th place out of 810... again I jammed a mediocre hand (A6o) to steal the blinds and got snapped off by 88 again and lost.

I now remember why I don't normally play MTTs anymore... they are a waste of time, money, and effort. I played OK in most of them, bad in a few, and great in a few... and ended up losing money for my two days' work. I have a lot of respect for poker players that are able to make a living from online MTTs, as it seems like it would be very difficult to make a consistent source of income and show a solid profit.

I may play the Sunday million this Sunday, because that tournament's guarantee is also doubled now ($2 mil)... other than that, I think I'm done playing MTTs for a while.
