        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello!</p>
<p>My name is Pavlos and had been a member at Tournament poker<br />
edge and other training sites for quite a while, when I started winning some money...</p>
<p>I play under the name kasspav at pokerstars-full tilt-cake-boss media and<br />
kasspav1981 ongame network. You can find any info for me either from<br />
facebook (Paul Kas) or my blog kasspav.com, as well as my poker resume.</p>
<p>Because I&#039;m a really br nit and try to protect about the 10k I have for<br />
poker and at the same time I need private coaching to evolve for the<br />
higher stakes (which I cant afford obv) I am looking for a good player to make a coaching-backing deal.</p>
<p>I assume that Americans since black friday have a bit time to invest at that part. I<br />
 am willing to put 50% of a bankroll and to combine it with training.</p>
<p>I have a backer for the higher limits, who can<br />
assure my honesty as a player and person, but because of his lack on<br />
time he cannot offer me training, which I feel its needed especially for<br />
 the higher buyins. Obv if I agree on something I will stop my previous<br />
 backing. He wants me to evolve as a player and doesnt have any problem<br />
with me finding another player.</p>
<p>Let me explain to you my thinking. I could spend 300-400$ for few hours<br />
private coaching but in my opinion it wont be sufficient to find my<br />
leaks. I believe that in order to become a full-time Pro, I have to have<br />
 by my side an excellent player who will guide me, review my game and<br />
will monitor my progress. I prefer a backing deal since it incentivizes<br />
the coach to work as hard as the student since the profit is shared<br />
50/50.</p>
<p>There are some deals out there, which offer 100% backing and coaching at<br />
 the same time, but because I want the best by my side and also I want<br />
it to become clear to you that I am serious about my job and trust<br />
worthiness (I&#039;m a well known player in the Greek community if that can<br />
be a insurance for you), I&#039;m offering 50% of the bankroll and 50-50 for<br />
the winnings.</p>
<p>If you have done some research regards me you can easily understand that<br />
 I do treat poker as a business and that I&#039;m a pretty competent player.</p>
<p>My skype name is kasspav if you would like to talk in person.</p>
<p>Hope I find someone to come into an agreement!</p>
<p>Pavlos "kasspav" Kasselouris</p>
