In 2011 I will be running my protege program again. The goal with this program is to create a close relationship with a group of poker players, and help them accomplish their poker goals. This is a great program for those planning on playing professionally, or serious players who plan on putting in a solid chunk of volume. If this sounds like you, keep on reading!
What is the protege program?:
This program will consist of myself, my co-coach, and up to 12 students. It will run for the entire year of 2011, and aims to increase all student’s skill sets and abilities.
Is this program for me?:
If you are a grinder and looking to improve your skills while networking with a solid group of like-minded poker players, this program is for you. If you are unsure about playing poker, or just looking for free coaching, this program will be an brutal failure for you. Also, you do not need to be a winning player to apply for the program…just be motivated and hungry to learn and grind!
What is expected from me?:
Because you get a large amount of coaching from me (I estimate my average protege from 2010 got over 120hrs from me (over a $9,000 value)), I am asking for a percentage of your wins for the year. The exact percentage will be negotiated, but I assure you, I don’t expect to be retiring from this program =). I want you to be happy and comfortable with everything to ensure that your grinding and involvement is fruitful.
What is the structure like?:
The protege program is very front-loaded. More coaching is done up front to ensure the rest of the year is spent focusing on details, as opposed to core fundamentals. There is nothing set in stone like “we will do 1 sweat session/week, and 1 hand history review twice/month”…rather we just flow and do sessions as they come up and are needed. Most of the time I am able to answer questions during the day, as I am always trying to ensure you get what you need between scheduled sessions.

I have some questions about that program:
1) Is this full stacking only?
2) Are only wins split or rakeback/FPP`s, too?
Looking forward to your reply =)
1.) nope. one of my proteges from 2010 actually spent a lot of the year capping. its w/e youre comfortable with, want to learn, and think you can play well =)
2.) we negotiate that. but I am asking for a lil of both =)
*SS*
Woot, awesome fast reply sir =)
Forgot to ask another thing:
Are wins/rb only split for like NLHE cash games or for other formats of poker (MTT, PLO), too?
it is only for NL cash games. so drunk 400PLO and taking down the sunday mill are all on you =)

Thanks again for the clarification!
I sent my application. Hopping to hit my 2 outer on the river now =)
If you want you can use my site and start a study group to manage this group.
You’ll have your own private forum. Give them the possibility to interact with each other and learn from one another. You as the coach would be able to monitor this and intervene when your students are making mistakes.
You can use the event module of the group to schedule the sessions.
sweet. thanks Amy =)
