Moving back to teaching your friends poker...tell them that a lot of the basics they must learn on their own by getting table experience such as playing on Ultimate Bet and reading a poker book. Tell them to keep track of how much they play...after 400 hours of playing see you and you'll show them a couple of things. It will help your game not to mention if they play 400 hours you know they are serious and they want to play poker. Also, teach them some basic tricks such as sand bagging but save the advanced stuff for later or never tell them. Chances are they won't play the 400 and you can say hey I wanted to teach you but you weren't dedicated enough.
