Last night I took a few hours to ponder the recent challenge handed down to one of my students. His older, bigger, meaner brother wants to issue a challenge to make sure everyone knows who the best poker player in the family really is.  I think I might have added a little fuel to the fire the other day when I mentioned that Mark (my student) had won more money at poker in 2010 then he had.

At first glance, it is not really much of a challenge or contest, since he is already somewhat of a legend in the poker world. Has his own nickname and all, “Redline,” given to him for drinking 5 “Redline” drinks in under an hour and surviving death.  He has crushed high limit live and online poker for years and years and His little brother, my student, has just started out and is having some great results, but still early and does not have years and years experience of being a poker pro. Did I mention he is also a full time MBA student at one of the top Universities here in the states?

But then I got thinking, and the more and more I thought about it and figured the superstar would underestimate his brother and be out partying with the other poker celebrities and not grinding hard at the tables and improving his game, the more and more I liked our side.  So today I will accept the challenge on behalf of Mark and say good luck Luke in 2010, Mark is going to make about $100,000 while being a full time student.

***This is the uphill battle we are facing, had to bribe their sister for this picture, taken from a family photo album. She has yet to pick a side for who she is cheering for, but if the fact she laughed that Mark was playing poker is any indicator, she might be considered one of the enemies very soon.

A few weeks ago I asked Dale, who officially has the best blog in poker, to make a video for my students about multi-tabling.  It is all complete and will showing it this evening to my students.  Should give them some good reminders and some new tips on how to add tables and play more efficiently.  The more tables they play, the more money they make, which means I make more money, which means Channing is happy, and that folks, is all that matters in the end.

Do not forget Valentines day guys, www.jenniferzeuner.com is all you need to do, got her a few gifts in 5 minutes and done with it.
