    Is there a Poker University?
    Perhaps with a teacher who has won the World Series of Poker?

    I'm not talking about teaching the basic rules but a poker school that really dives in deep to the art of mastering the game?

      can't see what you wrote since i have you on ignore but i'm sure it's nothing nice.

      Looking to master the card game. Would like to train under someone's wing and make it a career.

      i'm surprised more people don't play poker... i was at the Golden Nugget the other day they were having a poker game with a $50,000 prize. Where else can you make 50K in one weekend?

        BB dont even waste your time with poker. just play for fun

        i only play tournaments. that way i can play reckless and crazy and try to get a lot of chips fast. of course i need to pick prop winners in order to live this lifestyle but so far so good

          There are various training sites, there are poker "seminars" that pros offer from time to time, and some people hire a poker coach. That's about as close as it gets.

              Just know any poker coaches who will actually help you charge at least $500 an hour. Google poker training and you'll find countless sites but remember you get what you pay for.

              IMO that's all a waste and you'd be better off taking that money to the low stakes games to learn that way. If you're cut out for poker you will make it.

                  Good advice, If you absolutely want to spend money on something, sign up for a training site like card runners or blue fire. Otherwise, you're better off just networking with other players and learning from each other.

                    you're better off just watching those poker after dark re-runs.

                      Big Bear, you might wanna consider looking at Jason Somerville's(JCarver) Youtube channel or Gripsed channel on Youtube. Besides, there are 2 Gripsed poker training groups on Skype, which are extremely helpful.

                        WSOP is garbage.

                        Watch some free vids on youtube, once you feel the need to pay join Galfond's site runitonce.

                            10,000 hours big bear. It's an important number. Put in 10,000 hours towards anything and you will become more than capable, most might even say professional.

                                there used to be a "WSOP Academy".... I won a free entry to it and a trip to vegas during the wsop on the old espn poker site..... I miss that old site, it ran true, without the b.s. agenda(s) of fulltilt, pokerstars, blowvada, carbon, etc.... dealt as truly random cards as I've ever played on line.... as for the Academy itself, it was pretty good, got to meet and learn from Annie Duke, Annette Obrestad, that FBI dude on tells (very interesting), and some other blowhard whose name I can't recall.......

                                problem is, no way a three day seminar can teach you anything close to what all is involved in becoming an expert..... tho I did pick up some damn good tips..... put em to use right afterwards to final table my first wsop trny..... wasn't a bracelet event, but chopped fiveways as the chip leader, with each player peeling me off a few hundred extra since I had the lead... been hooked ever since.....

                                              Since you can morph into anything you want, Bear (so far a black man), become a hot Latina and talk Vanessa Selbst into improving your poker game.

                                                  Poker is a game if chance like craps

                                                  Everyone that plays regularily goes broke
                                                  The bar gets lower and lower....

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

                                                      that troll is on ignore i aint gotta read what he says anymore to know its jibberish. Guy can't even hold my jock strap. All his post are the same , never a posted play just jerks off to the LA Kings and harrases posters.

                                                      Its all good though i ran into that fat whore he calls his wife and i fukked her raw dog in the Janitors closet where she keeps her favorite mop. I sent him the tape. Blew my load on her face lol. Pussy smelled like fukkin lobster but i had to do it to let vegas know who he fukkn with. Feel sorry for that fukk being a troll is all he's got.
