Tutoring isn t really the right word either. I believe for a person to really learn poker, a process of self-discovery needs to take place. Great poker players are empowered by knowledge and creative thought, not memorization and regurgitation. I can t tell anybody how to win at poker. I believe I can help a person find and discover and embrace important strategies, concepts and tactics that will lead someone to be a strong, solid, tough player.
Players have to learn to think, and do, for themselves.
It s an old clich to say if you give a man a fish, he ll eat for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, he ll eat for a lifetime. This very much applies to poker learning. If you just do as some book or chart says, without understanding why you do it, even if it is the correct thing to do, all you are actually doing is eating for the day. You haven t learned to fish.
