Default Re: How much would you be willing to pay if you were a newbie?

This depends entirely on the name and reputation of the "local pro". If it's the smelly guy from seat #2, I'm willing to invest considerably less than if it's Mason M.
(extreme example, but you get the point).

I don't think it's that extreme an example. Many 'pros', and I use that term loosely, that I yap with have holes all over in their games. If I'm going to spend any money listening to someone talk about cards, the more I pay, the more I better respect his game and be likely to get something out of his lecture.

I think Ed M once said most of the 'pros' he met in vegas have only 'passable' games. I'd hate to spend any money listening to them. Which actually brings up one of my goals. Which is not to be lumped into that category.

From a pure marketing standpoint, for an unknown pro with good hygiene, I'd go higher than you have listed here

Good hygiene? hahahaha.
Actually, you should be able to look past a slick marketing ploy, shouldn't you?
