You: Okay, before we get started, I have one question, does anybody here know how to play holdem?

Man: (raises his hand) I do.

You: Good for you. You can get up too.

Man: What? Why?

You: We don't hire players here, we train new ones. That's it Skippy - pack your [censored], let's go. Okay, here's the deal, I'm not here to waste your time. Okay, I certainly hope you're not here to waste mine, so I'm gonna keep this short. Become a Pooh Bah at 2+2 and you will make your first million within 3 years. Okay, I'm gonna repeat that, you will make a million dollars, within three years of your first post at 2+2. There's no question as to whether you become a millionaire working here. The only question is, how many times over. You think I'm joking....I am not joking. I am a millionaire. It's a weird thing to hear, right? Lemme tell ya, its a weird thing to say: I am a [censored] millionaire. And guess how old I am...27, you know what that makes me here? A [censored] senior citizen. 2+2 is entirely comprised of people your age, not mine. Lucky for me, I happen to be very [censored] good at my job or I'd be out of one. You guys are the new blood. You are the future swinging dicks of online poker. Now you all look money hungry and that's good. Anybody who tells you that money is the root of all evil, doesn't [censored] have any. They say money can't buy happiness. Look at the [censored] smile on my face! Ear to ear baby! You want details, fine. I drive a Ferrari 355 Cabriolet. What's up? (slides keys across long table) I have a ridiculous house at the South Fork. I have every toy you could possibly imagine. And best of all, I am liquid. So now you know what's possible, let me tell you what's required. You are required to work your [censored] ass off at 2+2. We want winners here, not pikers. A piker walks at the bell. A Piker asks how much vacation time you get in the first year. Vacation time? People post at 2+2 for one reason, to become filthy rich, that's it. We're not here to make friends, we're not saving the [censored] manatees here guys. You want vacation time, go teach third grade at a public school. Okay, first three months at 2+2 are as a stranger, you'll make 150 dollars a week and the Pooh Bahs will ridicule you. After you've done training at microlimits and SSH, you move up to 15/30, you pass that and become respected on SSH and HUSH, you start posting in mid-high. You hit 2.5BB/100 at 15/30 and you start working for yourself, the sky's the limit. A word or two about being a stranger, your friends, parents, other players, they're gonna give you [censored] about it, it's true, 1/2 is a joke. Pay them no mind. You need to learn this game and this is the time to to do it. Once you pass the test, none of that's gonna matter. Your friends are [censored]. You tell em you made 25 grand last month they're not gonna [censored] believe you. [censored] them! [censored] 'em! Parents don't like the life you lead. [censored] your mom and dad. See how it feels when you're making their [censored] Lexus payments. Now go home and think about it. Think about whether or not this is really for you. If you decide that it isn't, listen, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. This is not for everyone. But if you really want this, you call me on Monday and we'll talk. Just don't waste my [censored] time......Okay, that's it.
