1. Read a big stack of books and translate them into real world action.  = Retention low
Before poker software came on the scene, this method helped many people to learn the basics of Holdem,
but you just don't have that much time these days.  Even if you are an avid reader, it's like reading how to play
golf from a book and then playing for real money the first time you go to the course.  There's a reason they say
that a few lessons from a golf pro will save you many years of frustration.

2. "Pay as you play" in poker rooms and make the same mistakes over and over.  = Retention low
Don't waste hours and hours, paycheck after paycheck trying to figure out all the little moves of Texas Hold
'em.  Why waste time and money!?!  Better your poker skills now, before you sit down at the table!

3. Practice before you play at the table using computer poker simulators. = Retention variable
Software has the advantage of being easy to load on your computer and study at your own pace.  There are
programs that concentrate on reproducing an online experience with a focus on extensive statistics.  These
'simulations' can benefit the casual user as long as they have months of dedicated time to play them and
invent their own personal understanding while figuring out the nuances of Holdem by themselves.

4. Learn from the best teacher you can afford by employing a professional mentor.  = Retention High!
From one the most successful professional poker players over the past decade...
"Learn your fundamentals from the great poker books out there, as well as the great software. If you find a
poker mentor, that is ideal." - Daniel Negreanu, Card Player Magazine*

There is simply no better way to
retain strategic knowledge than by learning directly from a professional
player while you play.  This is where PokerMentor comes in.  PokerMentor provides all of the benefits of the old
methods of learning at a significantly lower cost in time and money.  PokerMentor's value becomes glaringly
evident when plotted against the time and expense of "losing 'til you learn", which is currently the most
common (and costly) method of becoming a better Holdem player.
