I'm not sure whether I should take it or not. I'm pretty sure the $35 fee makes it -EV. But I really want to see some dbag show up to class the first day with sunglasses and a hoodie. Thoughts? Would you take it?

EDIT: Sucks to say I got a voice mail with some chick saying "your class has been permanently canceled because the instructor is no longer able to teach it." Goddammit, what a letdown. I had so many good ideas.

and yes you should take it. its a guaranteed A for you im sure, plus think how satisfying it would be to show donkeys up every day in class. especially if there are hot chicks in the class, it is way +EV.

The only potential value would be comedic. That's not happening.
9+ games over 7 weeks. You really think there is even time to talk about starting hand selection?

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

I will put in $6 to make up for XTR being short, but ONLY on the condition that we get snippets and/or updates after every class. Just let me know where to ship it.
One more donation and you are there.

I'm sure it doesn't need said, but don't do anything stupid like try and correct people or tell people you play on-line.

Also, FTR needs to come up with some really awesome questions. All I can think of...
Isn't blackjack safer than poker because you're risking less per hand?
Has anyone played T5low wild? (what's that game gabe/lukie?)

I'm definitely open to suggestions on questions. There is no way I'm going to tell people I play online, my roll, etc. Basically just going to act like a newbie like the rest of them.

Ask things like:
"Well why isn't it a good idea to play T7s? We have a flush, straight and two pair potential!"

I've received $21 so far out of the $35 so if anyone wants to donate feel free.
God I can't wait until Wednesday. I really hope my instructor is some old nitty guy who sucks.

Take all the theorems generated from this forum and 2p2. Then propose them in your class. Have your professor back you on these and submit them.....profit. Who are they going to believe, some forum miscreants or a professor?!?!?!!?!

As stated make sure you go in acting like a complete nit.
When the intstructor gets to posting blinds make sure you rant about having to put a bet out before you see your cards, especially since the guy to your right doesn't have to put out as much as you do. It just ins't fair.
If done right your class update thread could easily be a heavy favorite for POTY.

$5 shipped for the entertainment value. And when your teacher is trying to prove a point he is wrong because "you saw Gus Hansen or Sammy Farha doing something else on TV".

These are both great ideas and I'll be sure to use them. I've received the $35 so no need to send me more. First class is tomorrow at 7.
