Hey everyone.

Recently, a buddy of mine who is getting into Texas Hold'em asked me to teach him how to play. Since free lessons would be a waste of both our time (given that would you get for free you rarely value), he agreed to set up some sort of a compensation structure.

Currently, he's not winning so assume an hourly rate of $0/hr. I cover pretty much all of my "living expenses" out here in Iraq with what I win in the games we play. We agreed that any increase in his winnings can be accurately attributed to my teaching him.

So my question is what's the standared fee/compensation structure that's fair to both of us? I have no desire to charge him dearly but, at the same time, my time has high value to me even here.

I'm posting this in the "Beginners" forum, as well, as I'm not sure which one is better. Sorry for any annoyance that may cause.

Thank you in advance,
Kirk R.
