----------------------------------- PokerGuru 12.06.2007, 21:30 NEW LESSON: Online poker pros....REALLY? ----------------------------------- Can you be a PRO with online only? Hi Gang. Its hard to decide what to tackle next. When I reach that point where I want to do so much here that it overwhelms me and I don't know where to begin, I usually ask myself, 'What is your chief responsibility to these good people?' That always gives me my working plan, because my primary concern is to help you become the very best poker player you can possibly be. I don't know how many of you live near brick and mortar casinos, and if you are not close or not darn well off financially, the travel expenses can eat away your early profits when you are first trying to become a pro player. So the question arises: Since I do know you all have computers, can you make a decent living by quitting your day job and playing only online poker as a pro? Well, the answer might surprise you, but I tried 3 different experiments in this past year, each lasting about 3 months long......and I can now tell you with certainty, "YES, YOU CAN!" Naturally, there are many downfalls you must avoid and I will tell you what they all are. Naturally also, there are certain guidelines you absolutely must follow and I will also tell you what those are. This won't sound very good, but I am not an angelic philanthropist, so let me come right out with it here at the beginning of this topic: I am going to ask you, my guilded proteges, NOT to divulge my personal methods to anyone who is not one of us. Any other pro that I know, having discovered and proved what I have here in my online poker studies and experiments, would not breathe a word to ANYONE about it, with maybe the exception of his/her spouse. Honestly. And if somebody happened to learn about it, he or she would be branded as being in the professional espionage business! No kidding. You know, big companies spend fortunes fighting industrial espionage....and still it goes on. A secret formula is a secret formula, no matter whether we are talking chemical manufacturing or money manufacturing from playing online poker. And altho you already know that I hold back nothing from my PC fledgelings, you are the ONLY ones I am totally free in my talking with. The reason is simple. I am A TRUE GURU and it would be almost a sin to keep anything from those who want to learn from me and will work together with me as a group. But in order for them to succeed, which IS my business, they cannot just give away any of our secret formulas to others against whom you may be playing at any time. This is especially true of online formulas. It doesn't make any sense to tell your opponents what you are going to do and how you are going to do it, then find yourself at an online table with them! Which is more likely to happen than you realize. I, too, have certain online sites where mostly pros play.....and I would NEVER tell any other player there ANYTHING about my game! So that is why I am asking you for your word to keep the things I worked hard to learn and test and test again and again among yourselves (ourselves at PC). If anyone finds that objectionable, please let me know before I get too far into our online lessons. Okay? I think that is fair. Well, now that I have answered 2 questions here, I will go offline awhile and take out my notebooks where I kept all my notes during the experiments. From them I will try to put together in some kind of logical order everything you need to know to succeed at this. Then I will come back online and type it out in sections to you as lessons. If I am thinking right, that sounds reasonable to me. OH......the 2 questions: 1 (yes, you can) and 2 (I know now what to do next). Is that feeding two birds with one bag of seeds? LOL! Later, gators! And after while, crocodiles! Your trying hard Guru ----------------------------------- ALW01 13.06.2007, 02:56 ----------------------------------- Thank You Poker Guru, Your effort and time spent 'experimenting' for us is greatly appreciated. It is also fascinating reading Thank you Alan ----------------------------------- royalblush 13.06.2007, 10:04 ----------------------------------- Our dear and dedicated Guru ~ What a big job you have and do here! I would like to just repeat what ALW said in the post above. You are more appreciated by your members than you probably realize, because many of us -- even those whose poker playing you have improved drastically -- get kinda lazy about expressing our gratitude to a pro player who devotes so much time to us ameteurs! So you have no way of knowing your value to us. I realize that without you as administrator, we would have no Poker Crush site! By the way, I pledge my silence to "outsiders" about our new knowledge gained from you! Your dedicated follower, royalblush ----------------------------------- spookth 13.06.2007, 23:34 ----------------------------------- I ,as well, do hereby pledge my silence!!! I have gone into a few ring games lately and sat down with $80 and rather quickly found myself with $400 or more on several occasions. But I know I'm not yet ready for the "Big Step", and am anxiously awaiting our Guru's sage advice, which I will study carefully and execute to the best of my ability! ----------------------------------- Bower50 14.06.2007, 00:47 ----------------------------------- Mum's the word Guru. Looking forward to your personal advice. ----------------------------------- PokerGuru 14.06.2007, 00:47 ----------------------------------- To you members of my senior class who have posted already, you alone make it all worthwhile for me! Thank you and you are great!!!! Your Guru ----------------------------------- mirrors34 14.06.2007, 06:44 ----------------------------------- looking forward to any advice which I can use to further the art of n/l cheers mirrors34 ----------------------------------- mojojds 14.06.2007, 11:41 wisdom ----------------------------------- Your words of wisdom ...are safe with me!!!

So you can rely on my discretion Alan ----------------------------------- ALW01 15.06.2007, 11:06 ----------------------------------- Oops, sorry Mum. ----------------------------------- ALW01 15.06.2007, 11:16 ----------------------------------- My Poker Guru, I look forward to this lesson with much anticipation as 'Online poker' is all I know. I am yet to step foot in a casino, or even play poker against friend's. Poker is growing rapidly in England as it is in many other countrie's. But it hasn't yet replaced 3 card brag as our main gambling game,at least not among my circles. Alan ----------------------------------- ALW01 15.06.2007, 11:29 ----------------------------------- PS. If anyone would like to try 3 card brag for a change, there is a ring game you can play for free at Wingow's Poker. In my opinion 3 card brag is not as exciting as Texas Hold'em, but nevertheless, it is still an excellent gambling game that is well worth trying. This poker site also has in my opinion the best freeroll at this moment on the internet. I hope it was ok to mention this. Alan ----------------------------------- PokerGuru 16.06.2007, 11:24 ----------------------------------- It's all right with ME to mention it, ALW. And I'm sure it's all right witth the other members. So, being the close family group as we are, as well as the best of friends, one and all, I don't think we much care what any outsider would think! LOL! I would only ask that if anyone wants to go there and have a look, please click on OUR banner to get to there, because that is how we earn ALL our money, for prizes and everything else....inluding my salary!!! (Sometimes maybe it's not so good for you to have a Guru who tells you absolutely EVERYTHING! Eh? LOL!) But I AM Your Guru ----------------------------------- ALW01 16.06.2007, 16:47 ----------------------------------- We hang on every word Poker Guru ----------------------------------- PokerGuru 26.06.2007, 18:51 ----------------------------------- ALW: Just been wanting to tell you, so will right now! I love your new signature line: "Here we go, two, three, four." Reminds me of what a magnificent dance a beautifully-played hand of poker can be! Very nice. Your Guru ----------------------------------- ALW01 27.06.2007, 10:03 ----------------------------------- ty poker guru ,
