Learn poker skills from a master online

Online Gaming Site Turns Ordinary Folk into High Rollers

Monday 7th February 2005

A new Poker Tutor has just been launched online by Dartmouth-based poker success story Dan Mason.

Aimed at players of all abilities, Poker Tutor offers guidance at any level and type of Texas Hold’em, which is the most popular form of poker in the world today. Complete beginners are helped through the jargon and given the information they need to start playing proficiently.

Those with intermediate experience learn what hands to play and how to play them successfully, gain help with strategies for multi-table and single-table tournaments, and can try their hand at the more challenging Omaha and Stud poker. Accomplished players can receive advice on how to qualify for the World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker events. The advice is personalised and given by real professionals.

Poker Tutor can set up private games between its players – although no money is wagered through the site itself.

Dan Mason, 26, makes a living playing online poker from his Devon home. He decided to set up Poker Tutor after realising the game can be fully explored without any travel and has wide appeal. Dan said, ‘Online gaming is one of the fastest growing internet leisure sectors in the UK. The latest research from Nielsen shows that the typical net gambler is a middle-aged housewife logging on for an afternoon game! Poker Tutor was an obvious choice for me, as most of the newcomers need expert help in how to get started and how to play well; and that’s where we come in!’
