Spring Break's Over
PokerNews' own Kristy Arnett is getting taken to school. Poker school that is. She will be receiving poker lessons from DeucesCracked's Andrew "BalugaWhale" Seidman.
The eight-part series will take an in-depth look at Seidman's coaching skills and give Kristy and viewers the tools needed to begin crushing online poker - not the nosebleeds obviously, but you've got to start somewhere.
The series begins on April 5. Check out DeucesCracked.com for more.
