Default Re: Experieced NL coach needed for girlfriend.

Why not just get her a book and have her read 2+2? Then again, I couldn't recommend a book for beginners. The only book I could recommend for NL is Super System, but she isn't ready for that. Doesn't GSIH have a NL section for beginners? Why not get her started that way. However, don't let her play on play-money tables, that makes no sense if someone wants to learn how to play the games. Even though the donkey's at micro-limits play very badly, it's still closer to poker than play money tables.
As a limit player there's a lot that you can still teach her, however. Position, reading the board, putting players on hand ranges, types of players (TAG, LAG, LAP, TAP). Maybe start with that, then start dealing with the nuances of NL. Why does she want to play NL so badly? Is it because of t.v.? You should warn her, a good NL player can carve her up faster than a limit player.
