Hoyte Corkins - All around class act.

Though I wouldn't wear a cowboy hat.

I thought it would be easy to pick one person, but I can't decide on one. I've narrowed it to a few though: Doyle Brunson, Jennifer Harmon (who, like Negreanu, seems to have really good reads), Phil Ivey, or maybe even Allen Cunningham. Right now, I'd settle for whomever offered.

What about The Mouth, the self proclaimed best player in the world???
Nah. I would take Negreanu any day. I have a trade for him. I teach him golf and he teaches me poker.

Straight up, though. I took cash game lessons with Brian Willis (WillisNYC on most sites) and it was fantastic. Changed my game immediately.
Tuesday night I took a 4 hour SNG lesson with Jennifear (yes FEAR) - PunkinBear on FT and Stars. She writes articles on Pocketfives. I do pretty good playing live SNGs, but I can't cash for nada online. This lesson was fantastic and I won my first SNG last night. Hopefully my ROI will pick up. Right now it is in the crapper.
To anyone who has never taken any sort of lesson, I highly recommend it. Leaks are found immediately.

Negreanu seems to always know almost exactly what the other guy/girl is holding. I don't know if you can teach that kind of Voo Doo though.

[Deuce]

JoJo, because he would be able to control by morale at all times...


Im just messing around JoJo, you know I love ya!!!

Vanessa Rousso, Erica Schoenberg, or Clonie Gowan

Wish I had 3 months to sit and learn from:
Ted Forrest - great at all games
Barry Greenstein - great player and appreciate his charity work
Daniel Negreanu - reads cards so well

[Buzzerbeater]

If I had to pick one I'd probably go with Chip Reese. I'd also like to learn from Jen Harmon, Daniel Negrenau and Dan Harrington.

I would have to go with Doyle. The guy has decades of poker knowledge and experience. There are many good choices, but he seems like he would be an excellent teacher as well.

Well, if you take a practical look at things, then it would be wise to chose someone who is not only a great player, but has shown the ability to successfully mentor a Protege. I mean there are many people who have natural ability, but cannot really "teach" what comes naturally to them. Would Michael Jordan be a good basketball coach? He has said "no" because he can't teach what just came naturally to him. Poker mentor? I guess someone like Barry Greenstein or Men the Master. They have mentored successful players. Jen Harman too I suppose. If she can turn her hairdresser husband into a decent player, then why not me?
