Online coaching!

Tony_Montana

I was approched today by a beginer player who wants to get into online poker. He said he wants me to help him play on his account for a few hours a day, for 2 weeks or so. Is this legal?
Can i watch over him on his account and tell him what to do in every situation?
Also is it legal for me to play on his account to show him how i play online?
If it is legal i will gladly help him if i can!

Thanx, Anthony

Pretty standard like any other coaching arrangemnt out there so can't see how thats illegal

Surely not allowed, you have to play on ur own account to show him how u play.

It is against the rules, but the only way anyone will ever find out is if you tell them and someone rats on you.

Even if he's clicking the mouse, it's still considered cheating. It's the same thing as sitting next to him in a live game and whispering in his ear.

You'd only get in trouble for it if you posted what you were going to do on some internet message board with a history for ratting people out to pokerrooms.

Ya very clever in the first place posting such a question on a public forum - i mean cop on and just do it without drawing attention to it

Drakar

Ah I was only teasing, but people do need to be a little bit more careful all the same.

the player will benefit more from coaching if your not telling him what to do and observing and asking him to explain his thought process during the hands while you take notes and discuss them after the session....

thats how I conduct the little bit of coaching I do....

telling him what to do is technically breaking the 1 player to a hand rule and he will gain very little from it IMO

while on topic, I welcome PMs of charges for some online coaching, I really need to tighten up my game, and turn it round. Seem to choke around bubble time consistently, and cant figure out what im doing wrong. playing too many hands i think. I used to be fine, but was out of practise for a year and since then my bubble game has suffered.
