If so, tells us about your experience and if it helped?, hurt?, worth the money?, waste of money? Also tell us about any advise you may have received from pros if not actually coached, or advise you received from anyone that has helped your game.

I'll start one here to get this thread rolling. Also with a little take on my experiences in this game I love.

I've played poker off and on most of my life. I've never had a coach. That is not to say I have not met and talked poker with poker players that do it for a living... because I have. The players I'm speaking about... you have never heard of... it was before all the hype..TV ... etc. I'm not sure everyone could get anything from a Poker Coach... but I'm sure some players could benefit greatly from it. So I won't put down Poker Coaches, but there are many things about the game of poker that really can't be taught so much as they need to be experienced, felt, judged, reasoned, instinctively retained.

We all talk about levels of poker. That is a subject that I don't think everyone can agree totally on. Some would suggest that you are not at a high level of play unless you play for a very high stake. Many players and analyst will agree and disagree with that statement. I know that some players that routinely play for high stakes, do not always play at a high level of play. The amount of money,IMO, doesn't always mean you are the best player. The amount of money you play for, if it isn't in a comfort zone for you, surely could affect your ability to make good judgement calls, folds... etc. , but I don't think it should be the ONLY barometer for determining whether or not someone is a good player.

I like to think of poker as a contest of skill... not totally a game of chance and gambling. I like the idea of competition when I think of the game of poker...not how much money is on the table. Money is just a way of keeping score .. more or less. Of course, you need to play for what you can afford(or want to) and not what someone else thinks or determines makes a good player. The competition, not the money, is what drives me when I play poker. I'm not saying that winning money isn't on my mind when I play.... sure it is.. but it is not the only thing that drives my desire to play this game that I love.

MTT's or any tournament is a good example of a competition in poker. You pay your money...or enter... and from that point on... all players start out with the same amount of chips. Who ever ends up with them all ... wins. There is no losing all your chips and reaching in your pocket .. pulling out more money and continuing to play.. now..I know rebuys and add ons are an exception.. but even then.. when that first hour is over... all you have to play with is those chips in play. I like this because it puts some pressure on you to play with what you have and only what you have. Beating the game and trying to out do the other players is what it's about. The money will come after it is done.:) ]]> Online Poker datsme53 http://forums.wedoitallvegas.com/online-poker/16446-poker-coaching-ever-used-one.html http://forums.wedoitallvegas.com/online-poker/16445-pokerstars-big-500-000-depositors-freeroll-promo-check-out.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:12:18 GMT PokerStars is putting on another Depositors Promo!

However, has Isildur1 really won this much money?

The tax rate in Sweden ranges from 28.89% to 59.09% for individuals. Presumptively a $6 million dollar win in one year would put Isildur1 in the top tax bracket.

From what I can tell, Sweden considers Poker to be like a lottery, so it's not considered income for tax purposes. Luckily Isildur1 is in Sweden and not Denmark like 2009 WSOP Champion Peter Eastgate.

Eastgate won $9.1 million but was subject to taxes of 45% on the first $4 million and 75% on the rest. What he actually brought home was around $2.5 million. After accounting for taxes Eastgate actually brought home half of what the second place finisher won.

So, all you Swedish players, are you ready to hop onto the Poker is a game of skill argument? Or would you rather call it a lottery and keep the money tax free? ]]> Online Poker msuduster http://forums.wedoitallvegas.com/online-poker/16190-isildur1.html http://forums.wedoitallvegas.com/online-poker/16158-absolute-poker-host-new-turkey-tourney-promotion.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:03:25 GMT Online poker site AbsolutePoker.com (http://poker.wedoitallvegas.com/Online-Poker/Reviews/Absolute-Poker/) is adding some extra gravy on...
