When you email me, be sure to include more than one choice, as I schedule lessons daily. All dates are reserved as a first come-first serve basis. Therefore, availability of the dates above cannot be guaranteed, and that's why I ask you to include more than one choice. If all of the above choices are bad, just email me with times that are good for you.

The price of a four hour lesson is $299 for four hours. Feel free to split the cost of a lesson with a friend or family member if you want to do a joint lesson at no additional cost.

You can earn a $30 discount by signing up for a poker site through pocketfives. If you need assistance receiving this discount, and you do not have a poker account at Ultimate Bet, Absolute Poker, Cake Poker, or Full Tilt Poker, then be sure to let me know. I will give you complte instructions on how to get this done. Earning this discount is easy.

Please understand that it may take a few days for me to respond to your query. I apologize in advance for the delay, however the demand is high at this time, and I get a lot of e-mail. Lately I have been running 3-4 days behind on my email. It is important to me to provide you with a proper response, so please be patient and I will take very good care of you :)

All lessons will be given thru Windows Live Messenger. Windows Live is compatible with MSN and Yahoo messenger so if you have either of those already, you are all set. Whenever possible, I like to use a screen sharing program as well, such as gotomeeting, to better present the material.

Download Windows Live Messenger, verify your e-mail address, and add me as a contact. (goodtime46@aol.com) >>Here's where to get it : http://get.live.com/messenger/overview

When you email, try to include as many facts about yourself as possible.

All payments are due at least one day before the lesson. If you must pay me the day of the lesson instead, please e-mail me to let me know.

Preferred methods of payment:
- Transfer to Full Tilt Poker, name PunkinBear, (city Lockport).
- Transfer to PokerStars, name PunkinBear, (city Lockport).
- Paypal (e-mail me first before doing this, for instructions)
- Transfer to Cake Poker, Ultimate Bet, or Absolute Poker, (e-mail me first before doing this, for instructions)

If none of the above are possible, we can make alternate arrangements. I will send you a receipt of payment as soon as possible, usually within one day.

After the lesson, please take the time to provide feedback, both positive and negative. I intend to become a better teacher with every time I teach, and I appreciate anything you can do to help me to achieve that goal.

When scheduling a lesson, it's to your advantage to send me a few hand histories. My plan with you is to take all the information that you give me, review your stats, and figure out what you need before the lesson starts. Everybody's lesson is different, and it's important that I have the tools to figure out what your immediate needs are. Often, those needs are leaks that you were totally unaware of, so the more information I have, the better.

Why Jennifear?:

- I have had success over a large sample of single table SNGs at varying levels with a solid ROI. My ROI is over 30% for all single-table SNGs. I also specialize in multi-table SNGs up to 180 entrants. Though I am mostly known for teaching SNGs, I can teach MTTs as well. Though most of my SNGs have been played at UltimateBet, you may obtain a sample of my statistics by checking my PokerStars and Full Tilt stats at: http://www.sharkscope.com/ I use the name "PunkinBear" at both sites.

Here are my searchable sharkscope stats as of 11/8/08:

11,730 games played
$9 average profit
$24 average stake
39% ROI
$107,412 total profit
85 "ability rating"

- I have trained several players, many of whom have gone on to great things. While I have, in the past, focused mostly on SNGs, I'm pleased to say that many of my students have had five figure MTT scores! - I have had several successful sessions! Check out some of the feedback!
