**For Full Ring or 6max NL Players only**

Ok, so I have enjoyed and have learned so much on CardsChat and now it's my 1,000 post . I want to really thank all the responses from members on here to every post I have made. Also I really want to thank two very special people that I believe had the greatest impact on my poker game . I won't go into how I started and why I chose cash games ,you can read that on my "Blog" if you want . But my very first sweat session I ever had was with WVhillbilly . He said hey, no prob we can hookup and look over your Hud replayer , I had looked at his PTR winnings and thought this guy knows his stuff and was really nervous to talk to him .But we did the session reviewing my troubled hands I had on my hud and it opened my eyes .I can't thank you enough WV for taking the time and talking to me .Also TPC if your still reading here thanks for all the sweats and you are the reason I want to "Pay it Forward" to someone .The second person, I have known about him for awhile maybe 2 years about . When I first started cash games I think TPC told me about PTR , so I wanted to find the best players at .01-.02 nl FR games , well guess who the biggest and best was that's right Blackrain79, I prob reviewed over 200,000 hands on the replayer on ptr not alot of info but I wrote down his starting hands in position his betting patterns and went from there just kind of a base to start from. Well I also found a blog he had so I followed him there read everything he was posting. Most his post were just how many hands he had played that day and general talk ,but then later he started posting some useful tips and HH‘s .Well in Sept I think 18th of last year I paid for a coach lesson from him .It was awesome, I learned so much and even opened my eyes bigger and did another session a few weeks later and was great . Then he said hey, I’m going to come out with a book and I told him I want to buy the first copy from him how much? LOL, anyway I don't think I have the first copy but its such a great book and so easy to read and understand worth every penny I spent on it which by the way was more then what it is now. Also I would like to say a lot of my last post on CC
Giving responses to players asking about bankroll , or what games should they play ,how they should and so on I would recommend something plus I pounded buy the book .I just want to say I hope I didn’t sound way to spammy but that’s how much I believe he can help your cash games, He is the real deal in my book .So if you are reading this Nathan Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou .So here it is #1,000 post ,I want to "Pay it Forward"


1.)I will give the winner of this "Pay it Forward Contest" $65.00 on Merge Network to help them start Grinding from the bottom up. So if you did already have $135.00 on your Merge account I guess with the $65.00 added you could take a stab at starting .10nl Full Ring or 6max cash games. Why only $65.00 . I believe it's plenty to get you started . I had $50.00 on Full Tilt turned it into $1,500.00 , then after BF I waited a few months opened a Merge account with $30.00 and turned it into over $1,800.00 as we speak . So not Bragging but, it can be done with hard determination.


2.) The little Crushing the micro book picture You will get a E-Book of "Crushing the Microstakes" a $25.00 value or if you already have it you will get a one hour "Coaching session" with Nathan (Blackrain79) Williams a $35.00 value. (Thank you Nathan:) )


3.) HEM "Holdem Manager" said they would donate a $20.00 store credit ( Thanks Jeff of HEM:) )

4.)
logo_footer.png
15-day free subscription to poker training site, Drag the Bar (Thanks BlackRain79 :) )

5.) Wv sign Last but not least Wvhillbilly, that's right the one and only has said he will donate an hour of his time to help you out . He could do a sweat, look over your Hud replayer with you ,talk strategy or whatever helps you out .You two can figure out what the plan is .Million $$ value (Thanks WV:) )


:cool: To be eligible you need to meet these criteria:cool: .

This is for someone interested in playing Cash Full Ring or 6max NL only , and willing to learn how to play up to at least 12 tables at a time.

A.) 179 posts or more on CC at the time of applying or if you've just been a lurker that doesn't post much but has been a member as long or Longer than I have which is March 2010.

B.) Have or Get "Teamviewer" And "Skype" they are free to download. (You will also need a Headset or microphone.)

C.) Maintain a thread in the "Challenge section" that updates your progress.

D.) Tracking software, "HEM" or pktrkr. (This can be purchased after you win the stake, but it's a must otherwise we can't track your progress)

E.) Post at least two winning or losing hands in The "HH section" after every session.

F.) No taking shots at next level until you have at least 20 buyins.

So if you think you're up to Playing only Cash Full Ring or 6max Nl Poker and meet the criteria above then by all means plead your case. Why do you think you deserve this chance? The winner is going to be who I think will take this seriously,

I will prob pick the winner in two weeks .
That's all for now, also feel free to ask any questions.

OK looks like I'm first to plead my case. OK to tell the truth I haven't played much ring games. I'm raw and believe Id soak up all the knowledge you give me. I want to learn and Ive dabbled at trying to read the hand posts. Without having pt3 or hm it really not possible for me to track my faults. I'm mostly a tournament player. When I do play rings I play nlh cant stand limit, that maybe one of my problems. I do Have Skype. Rings somewhat scare me but Id love to learn to play them. Think I need to get out of my comfort zone. Not that it matters but I'm female. Id be honored to be schooled.

PS: Not sure if Id want full or 6 man. I know in tournament play I prefer 6 player

I've known AIC for quite awhile. The above is pretty much a testament to his generosity. He came up with this whole idea himself and the offer on my end (book or coaching) was paid for by him, not me. Although there is a distinct possibility that I offer something to the unfortunate 2nd place contestant here ;) I think this is a great opportunity for a newer player or someone who has been struggling at the microstakes. gl gl!

Thank you for being First to apply . I don't care female,man. old or young well you need to be at least 18 I think . Are you willing to buy Hem if i pick you ? are you willing to give up Tourneys for good well at least the next 6 months and focus just on Cash games? Are you willing to chose 6max or 9max only? And are you willing to take advice from wv lol ? if you answer yes to all i see no problem with you being a candidate for this:)

Holy hell. I thought the hour with me was some sort of booby prize. Didn't realize you were forcing that on the winner.

Seriously though AIC, very nice gesture. You work as hard as any micro player I know and if you find someone willing to put in 1/2 as much effort as you do I'm sure they'll be wildly successful no matter how badly I screw them up.

Congrats on 1K!

This is weird but I just got this link from Nathan when he added me to his skype today. Had sent you an email yesterday (or earlier today) from his site about helping me get started with cash games. You can pass on that email now that I see you had started this it just seems rude on my part to ask when you are giving so much here.
As to your challenge it is really nice of you,
I guess I would be a lurker since I've been a member since 2007, kind of jumped around with forums you know "fit or fold". My short story is I've been a 6max sng grinder as a TeamMoshman student from March of 2010 to BF all my roll was on tilt. Since then I have been in limbo trying to save a few bucks to start again somewhere. I got in early on at BlackChip just haven't deposited anything yet, just scared I guess, being taught you need a good bank roll I didn't think $100 would be enough. My roi was somewhere around 4-5% over 4k games with $5 reg 6max just remember my big swings lol.

I really love all poker games and had been wanting to try learning something new mtts,cash, or HU sngs just didn't know what. Was talking with a friend and he thought cash has more access to play online and live, I thought why not.
Anyhow while I was lurking here I seen the link to Nathans site say 3 weeks ago, thought hey maybe this could be it, start over from scratch in the micro cash arena. I Bought his book last week, told him what site I could play at and that I found him here at Cardschat and he pointed you out, I then sent you the email. All the points you ticked off about your challenge (A-F) are fine with me:
A) lurker from way back
B) no problem
C) wouldn't be a problem
D) I have PT3 at the moment
E) no problem
F) no problem

Just have to deposit some cash
I have no stats since I cleared my computer after BF and haven't played any real money games since.
But If "you" want a real challenge then take this cash game calldown fish and making him into a winner. I challenge you to try!
I would much appreciate it ;)

Very nice gesture AIC. I'd be tempted to apply if I wasn't still at college (time constraints), just because it would be an excellent platform to convert to cash with the help on offer.

Good luck to whoever wins this and hopefully you make the most of it.

the kindness of you CCers is amazing,

AIC your doing what i was hoping to do around 1k post (cept i still aint that good or rolled for it lol:))
Id sure love to apply as I have known for some time I need a boost to my game and some tweeking, Ive been grinding small for too long (tho I have gone from 0 to 1000$ more than once on more than one site)

i just think I should leave this most gracious offer to someone more...deserving? or needing, or?
(tho I tell ya Id never let WVhillbilly steal another blind from me after this- that bully lol)

guess why Im reluctant to apply is cuz I had a member here 'pay it forward' to me last year (for the league games back when they costed- tysovm polingpower) and am talking to another member here about some coaching and hh reviews right now, i just dont wanna take more than my share here- with so many worthy members to choose from
gl to all candidates

I just want to let people also know .That I will be responding to alot of non applying members that post here through PMs just so I don't keep pasting Quotes and taking up extra pages on this TY. ;) I would also like to point out that if your thinking of "Paying it Forward" don't feel you have to best the next guy or Gosh I can only pay forward my time to help someone or $10.00 instead of whatever. Just donating your time to help someone can be huge . Like I said, WV's time spent helping me was tenfold I feel he "Payed it Forward" that day .I think it's the thought of giving back and maybe being creative on how you can.

That is so nice of you to do that , I'll be a lurker and wishing for the best for some lucky player . You seem genuine at heart for doing what your thinking of doing .
