I've looked at this post a few times and am now throwing my hat in the ring.
I've been lucky to be chugging along at micro and have built up a respectable micro bankroll on Carbon that makes me comfortable at 10NL (have kissed my money at AP and from FT goodbye--but got into the several-hundred dollar range on both of those sites doing the freeroll to bankroll method).
What I'm loving about poker is that there is always so much to learn. And I really want to learn it. Partially because I really love the nuances of this game. And partially because my lottery fantasy is to get good and be able to make a nice side income playing poker -- and then be the first female to win the Main Event at the
wsop. Hey, a girl can dream...
I really would like to improve my game. I play 10NL mostly now (started mostly at 4NL). I play 6-max and usually multi-table up to 4-6 tables. I'm not comfortable with more than that because I feel like I lose out on my "table feel."
On one hand I guess the cash you are offering would allow me to play 12 tables at 4NL and not feel bad about losing some of that feel. But, to be honest, I've got a roll and really don't need the money. So maybe I could take on this challenge but the money could be used in some other way for CC. The review and training opportunity mean much more to me than the cash.
I've posted more than a few times about being a casual, part-time player. I've started a thread for my learning but don't get to it as often as I would like (IRL is very pesky). The benefit of this, IMHO, is that I think I represent the average engaged player who loves the game. I'd like to show folks that you don't have to be a stereotypical grinder to be able to beat the game. And I'm an eternal optimist who wants to believe that full
online poker will return with a bang to the US.
I have PT3 (actually I'm beta testing PT4 right now), have Skype although my webcam has been wonky on the laptop so might have to invest in a cam and a microphone.
Not sure what time commitment you would want. I could devote little time during the week (maybe an hour or two 2 or 3 weeknights, max) and 10-15 hours on the weekends. Not sure if that is enough for the purposes of this venture.
Bottom line--I'd like to take part. I'll understand if you're looking for a different player profile.
Either way, very classy offer and I thank you for your consideration.
