wow, thanks for all of the suggestions. I have wired him $100 to his account and plan on having him finish reading HOH1. Then he will play $5 SNG on stars... he actually already snuck a game in last night ($5 SNG) because he said he couldn't wait, and he got 2nd place. Lost HU straight to a flush. lol.

I know this is only 20 buy ins and probably not enough of a roll. However, I think he should have minimal losses after reading that book and I can always reload him if necessary.

As far as him watching me play cash games, we have done that a few times. There are just so many different situations that arise in cash games that I'm not sure if what I explain sinks in. I know that if I was in his shoes, it would be tough for me to remember all of the things I'm telling him while he's watching me play cash.

Martin, I don't think I suck at cash games...

Miffed, why do you say don't have him play small stakes on Stars? Does this include 10NL cash Full ring? You suggest that he play cash games but don't offer suggestions other than what he's been playing. Do you mean choose a different site or higher stakes or what?
