Well it's a lot of big bets. To make it worthwhile, you'd have to play at least 40-80.

You may want to keep in mind that whatever you learn from these lessons, you get to use at every poker session you play from that point on. I'm sure it wouldn't take even the average 10-20 player very long to recoup the cost of these lessons.

I'm glad that Tommy is getting his idea off the ground. Rest assured that he's put a great deal of thought into how best to offer his services, and his fee is fair. We discussed this a couple of months ago, and likened it to a consulting firm offering services to a company. Here, he offers a service, you pay his travel, and an expert's salary. Not too bad. The salary has to be worth it so that he's not better off playing cards, especially since most people don't actually like traveling around very much. Unlike Andersen Consulting, Tommy will deliver an actual service, and he won't cook the books.

To those wondering if it's worth it, for those who haven't gotten the pleasure of playing Tommy, let me assure you that it is. Most players could benefit a great deal from him, if only for his behavior and demeanor at the table. The man is cool as a cucumber. Plus, he's always good for random puns and arcane references that could also help you become a Trivial Pursuit Grandchampion.

Good luck, Tommy.

Based upon everyone's advice plus my need for help, especially with my demeanor, I'm going to "retain" Tommy.

I hope to have some fun as well as learning a lot!

I am sure you will learn a lot and have a great time. next time I'm in the bay area with an extra day, I probably will see about getting a day lesson as well.

Default Re: Tommy\'s New Site..ultimate question..

[img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] if tommy is so good; why does he waste his time giving lessons??? it just does not make sense..unless he's broke, because he ain't that good...

also; if he really was good; would he want to arm his opponents??

just don't make sense
