If you could pick one current professional poker player as your "poker coach" — someone to teach you strategy and other ways to improve your game — who would you choose?
Today's start of the €1,000,000 buy-in Monte-Carlo One Drop Extravaganza (with unlimited reentries until the end of Day 1) has inspired just such a question. The biggest buy-in poker tournament of all-time is being staged strictly for recreational players and by invitation only, meaning the field is made up of businessmen, entrepreneurs, and others who have made their money through means other than poker.
Many of those participating have hired coaches to help them this weekend, and given the players' deep pockets one assumes they can pick just about anyone they want.
