I’ve heard that poker players should have empathy, but not necessarily sympathy. It makes sense at the Texas Hold'em poker table because you’re trying to take your opponents’ money. But away from the Holdem poker table, it’s good to have both. And if that’s the case with you, then hopefully this blog post will resonate with you.
My girlfriend Amie got inspired to run the NYC Half Marathon in March to raise $1,500 for the ASPCA. The ASPCA is a great organization that works to prevent cruelty to animals.
Watch this short clip to see the bad beat that our society has imposed on these poor animals:

I want to help Amie DOUBLE her goal and raise $3,000 for the ASPCA! To do that, I’m going to do 2 things:
First, I’m going to run the half marathon with her! 
Second, I want to help you with your poker game by inviting you to take part in a Video Watching Marathon if you make a donation to the ASPCA.
NOTE: If you want to help, but don’t wish to make a donation at this time, you can tweet or post on Facebook and I’ll invite you to play in a private tourney on Poker Stars where you can win some cool prizes. See below for details.
Here are the 5 ways I can help you with your poker game:
Option 1:
Donate $25 to the ASPCA, and you’ll be invited to take part in the Weekend Watchathon, where you’ll be able to watch all the videos from Jonathan Little Secrets 1 and Jonathan Little Secrets 2 over a period of 48 hours.
Date of the Weekend Watchathon: Saturday February 12 – Sunday February 13.
Option 2:
Donate $50 to the ASPCA, and you’ll be invited to take part in the 9-Day Watchathon, where you’ll be able to watch all the videos from Jonathan Little Secrets 1, Jonathan Little Secrets 2, and my Poker Video Vault.
As a bonus, you’ll also get invited to play in a $1 private tournament on Poker Stars to win some cool prizes (see below).
Date of the 9-Day Watchathon: Saturday February 12 – Sunday February 20.
Option 3:
Donate $100 to the ASPCA, and you can own Jonathan Little Secrets 1, Jonathan Little Secrets 2, and my Poker Video Vault. Watch the videos anytime you want or download them for later. If you were to buy these video courses separately, it would cost you $455.
As a bonus, you’ll also get invited to play in a $1 private tournament on Poker Stars to win some cool prizes (see below).
Option 4:
Donate $250 to the ASPCA, and you’ll get to own Jonathan Little Secrets 1, Jonathan Little Secrets 2, my Poker Video Vault, and my Extreme Video Vault. If you were to buy these video courses separately, it would cost you $652.
Plus, you’ll get a 2GB MP3 player loaded with the MP3s from the first 3 video courses. That’s 36 MP3s! Please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery.
As a bonus, you’ll also get invited to play in a $1 private tourney on Poker Stars to win some cool prizes (see below).
Actual MP3 player may differ from MP3 player shown.
Option 5:
Donate $500 to the ASPCA, and you’ll get to own Jonathan Little Secrets 1, Jonathan Little Secrets 2, my Poker Video Vault, and my Extreme Video Vault. If you were to buy these video courses separately, it would cost you $652.
Plus, you’ll get a 4GB MP3 player loaded with the MP3s from all of these video courses. That’s 116 MP3s! Please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery.
Finally, you’ll get a hand history review from me. This can be a hand history from a sit n go, multitable tournament, or a cash game session. This is one of the best ways to identify your biggest leaks so you can eliminate them from your game once and for all.
As a bonus, you’ll also get invited to play in a $1 private tourney on Poker Stars to win some cool prizes (see below).
Actual MP3 player may differ from MP3 player shown.
If you’re not familiar with my video training courses, here’s a short description of each:
Jonathan Little Secrets 1 – 9-video series where I play a marathon online session of $11 180-person sngs, as well as some heads up games. I play for just over 6 hours and cash for over $1700.
Jonathan Little Secrets 2 – 7-video series where I play in 2 deep stacked multitable tournaments. The first mtt shows how I played through a field of over 32,000 players all the way down to 22nd place. The second mtt shows me making the final table in a $11 rebuy tournament.
Poker Video Vault – 20-video series where I coach my students 1 on 1.
Extreme Video Vault – 80-video series where I coach my students 1 on 1.
