Losing player desperate for guidance.

rakish007

Mr. Brokerstar,

Well, I'm about to quit and I've only just begun. I started playing poker a month ago. I'm a quadriplegic, cannot get a job as a freelance graphic designer and I have become desperate looking for a way to generate an income and help my wife pay some bills. As a matter of fact, it was at her urging that I start learning to play hold 'em. She was watching some show on bravo and some kid was putting off getting a job after college and decided to live off his poker winnings. I guess he was very successful at the online tables and won about 40 grand. My wife looked over at me and said " you need to play poker." Can you believe that? I have my wife's blessing to play poker!

I started out, picked it up and having natural affinity for it, made a deposit and started the micro-states and SNGs with medium to absolutely terrible results. I ended up in the top three in a handful but for the most part, I have maintained a very consistent negative ROI. So, can you really guarantee results with an absolute beginner? Because, if so, I would love to sign on for a five hour block.

Can you tell me a little bit more about your program, when we would start, what time of day you work, could I at least make enough money to pay my electric bill? Anything is better than sitting at home with a computer, college educated brain and hours of doing nothing but worry. Who knows, I could end up being a model student and would gladly lend my name and circumstances for the benefit of your poker teaching career.

So let me know at your convenience. I've been apprehensive about getting back to the tables after a particularly awful beat, so I'm ready when you are.

Thanks for the opportunity, I'm really glad I came across your post. I love the game, would love to do well and certainly welcome an opportunity to make some money.

Regards,

In the mean time, keep watching those free video's... I was a terrible player, and those videos have a great deal of knowledge in them... I have learned a hell of a lot from those video's alone... enough to go from a losing player to a slightly break even and better player. Without the course.
I am now doing his course and things seem to be coming togethor ... everything is definately improving!! Im very happy here. You should also get on Skype with us, where we help each other out alot.

cheers!

You just started playing a month ago! You may benefit by reading a few poker books, reading articles on the various forums, and gaining a fundamental understanding of poker before you consider coaching.

I had been a student of poker for several years before signing on w/ Brokerstar, and I know that he was (at the time) looking for students who had, at least, a basic understanding of general poker theory. That being said, I don't speak for him, and I know he'll chime in here soon.

As previously mentioned, we're all here to answer any questions, and we've developed a rather tightly knit community, so feel free to post hands or questions anytime.

Best of luck!

Videos, charts, grind. Repeat. Brokerstar sent me an e-mail and I'm putting myself through poker boot camp here on the site and in the forums. Then I'll reassess to see where I stand. Thanks for the encouragement. You'll be seeing me around.
