THE END
Special request from your Guru: Please do not make any comments at the end of this test on your answers email to me. But DO post any comments, good OR bad, on the thread announcing the test for the first time. WHY? It's just an extra guarentee of my fairness in grading.
Email your answers to: PokerGuru@Poker-Crush.com no later than midnight New York time to make sure I receive them by daylight tomorrow morning (Wednesday).
I am extremely proud of whoever had the courage to at least attempt this test! I have no idea if I will receive more than 3 or 4 emails with test answers or not. My fingers are crossed for MANY!
THANK YOU.
Your ever-lovin' Guru |
