Honestly, I have no clue which events I'm playing in. I do know that it should be strictly NL events (as that's all I know how to play). I'll try to find out before I head down to Vegas. Cool. Try and let us know which events you're in before you head down to Vegas.

Whoops...well for all the times people misspell my last name, I'm entitled to to a misspell now and then, lol. That's pretty cool trying poker full time. Maybe I'll see you down there sometime, I'll be playing 1-2 NL though. Wish you the best of luck. Will you be making the trip down there AKoffsuit?

First of all, let me preface this comment by saying I think it's incredibly generous of DN to have this protege promotion.He has better things to do with his time and with the value of what you learn with DN, it's got to be an experience of a lifetime.I hope he continues this protege concept but I really wouldn't be surprised if twice is enough for him.It's maybe too late for you now Anthony, but if you are as good as DN said you are at tournament NLHE play (and I have no reason to doubt his word), then I would have spent the last three months basically learning razz* and the other games with the intention of joining those WSOP events with the goal maximizing the chances of winning multiple bracelets (of course this would be subject to getting the approval beforehand but it doesn't rule out a parlay starting with NLHE events). Sure, no one has the obligation to teach you anything about other games, but heck, if he's in a good mood with a few hours, why not? Also, if DN is a bit too busy, just ask another pro, that would be kinda funny, don't you think? People already know who you are to some extent and it would be a laugh for other pros to take some credit with a bright student.There are plenty of anecdotes where a talented beginner took a bracelet, and these events have somewhat smaller turnouts... I'm not ignoring the fact that they may be packed with great players.After the WSOP, you are on your own, lol. Enjoy the ride!* I used razz as an example because it's a relatively easy game, you have more of a shot at a bracelet by reading the razz section of "Sklansky on Poker" a few days before the tourney than with any other form of poker. In fact, I think I'll give it a try on my first WSOP trip.

Yeah, for now I just want to try to master NL. As that's the most popular and by far easiest to find games for. Plus there's still a lot of room for improvement. I'm sure at some point I'll get bored of NL and at that time I may look into other games. More importantly though, I still need to find a job, lol.Cool, I'll make a note of that. I'll probably be playing most days but in my spare time I'll be playing in 1/2 NL if I'm not broke by then. :club:

I'm wearing black PokerStars pants as well. :DBut yeah, I think you'll see all PokerStars players will be dressed like that, except for maybe the pros. Yeah, it's always some pretty girl, not that I'm complaining.

I was simply curious to know how A-Mak did results wise after receiving a butt load of help,stake, lessons etc. Not trying to be harsh, just trying to be real. I am not here to be friends with everyone and make everyone feel good. I just want to know what his results were, if he was able to capitalize on an unbelieavable opportunity from Daniel etc.Life is harsh and maybe A-Mak just sucks at poker

Jealous of the opportunity he had?

A Mak must have been truly so good that basically DN taught him next to nothing.I had asked A Mak at various times up until just before the wsop and seriously, no real sit-down time could be detected (I could be wrong).Any elaboration or commentary from DN on this, and re his philosophy with proteges would be helpful.Heck, it could have been a busy time where DN was just needing to relax and golf, who knows.I know if I were the protege I'd be pestering DN so much that he'd grow tired of me... ha ha... but I'd beat him heads up any time.... for napkins, and I'm talking serious napkins! not the cheap kind, that would be cruel.As for Asian obscurity, what's that? Haven't you seen A-Mak in all the Canadian beer commercials lately? He's getting all the pale chicks! Woo hoo! Go A-Mak!

Yeah, I'm still lurking around...though once in a blue moon someone at the casino will recognize me which I think is pretty neat. It's better if no one at the table knows me though.For those interested, I got a job recently! :club: So weekdays now comprise of commuting, working, eating, and then sleeping. Not much time for anything else. Internet and TV time has gone down though I found video gaming to go up...On weekends I've been going to the casino lately and basically just catching up on sleep and rest.I've also played in two small live buy-in tournies with my new found wealth. Well they are actually quite high for me, but I tell myself I can spoil myself since I found a job. :)My first tourney, I think I played really well, didn't think I made any major mistakes, had an average stack, then had a bad beat for all my chips.My second tourney, I played poorly in the beginning, sucked out, and from there played ok/good but made a few mistakes. I certainly caught the right hands/flops at the right time though. So in essence, I got lucky. I managed to cash but they withheld 30% of my winnings (this was at a US casino). So has anyone (anyone being Canadians) had the winnings withheld and get it back? If so could you outline the process?
