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.
god damnit. i had a pipe dream idea of starting a poker university. like a one year night class or something. now its unoriginal.
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.
lol...soooo not happening. :DQuote:

9+ games over 7 weeks. You really think there is even time to talk about starting hand selection?
I would take it for education value. Supplement the $500 or so I've spent on lessons/videos obv
take the $35 to a stripclub
obv in $1 bills
only reason i might go is to get a chance to play with all the people who sign up for it
Which makes this +EV if Hero plays live, imo.Quote:

I bet you'll have a blast in the 5-card stud lesson.
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.Quote:

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.
I am also excited and this thread has great potential.Quote:

My first class is Wednesday, and it runs once a week until spring break.
Of course when I'm allin with 103s preflop I'm gonna be like "but it was sooted !!!!!"
lol this has sooo much potential. Do we need $5 more still?
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.
I so hope you organise study groups every night after class so you can practise what you've learnt with real monies...
lol this could be classic
Oh this is going to be fun.....

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.
i shipped $5 also
$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".

Holy shit.. idea.. end of the course get your prof to play you HU 4 ROLLZ
it would be awesome if barry greenstein, alan cunningham or some of that caliber were teaching the course
just a litttle dreammy
Ask your professor what he thinks about limping AA UTG preflop.
Tell the prof that you have an Uncle named Lee Jones who paid for you to take this class.
I lol'd at thisQuote:

LOL really good idea, when prof. gets your names and what you like to be called, tell him TeddyKGB or FastFingersTom or something. maybe your screennameQuote:

how much money did he win lifetime and if he's so good why is he teaching in school and not a private instructor
ask him whether K8 is more synchronious than A7 because the ranks are closer together
"If offsuit cards give you two flush draws isn't that twice as good as suited cards?"
I lol'd. I have to ask this.Quote:

whatever you ask, make sure you use the words "always" and "never"
I think the answer to this question has potential for being VERY funny.Quote:

you've gottta drop that phil galfond overpair vs. pocket pairs thing sometime
You mean overcards are a huge favorite to a pair because they have 6 outs to improve and underpairs only have 2? That was genius, and I will make sure to comment on that.Quote:

not really. This would be like talking calculus in an algebra class. Don't be a helmuth.Quote:

See, the school board probably cancelled the class because teaching gambling in college is not appropriate.
How's teaching bartending any more appropriate?Quote:

There are classes on the simpsons, on seinfeld, and like someone else said on pornography.
Sports, tv shows and forms of art cannot be compared to gambling which "ruins the lives" of unresponsible people. Please do not compare apples to oranges.Quote:
