Review: PUATraining’s Gambler: One On One Workshop and Bootcamp
Before I start Id like to point out, I have never opened a set in my life before this day.
I got into London quite early, got lost alot, eventually found my way to covent garden, called Gambler and said to him Id arrived he came down and met me, I recognised him from his photos.
He immediately took me back to his house and we started going through theory and even played some improv games, looked into story telling, NLP, openers, rapport, body language… bit of everything for a few hours, even helped me get over a spending addiction I had.
Then we hit the streets.
He demonstrated on a few people got their attention, had them all giggling and the like IOI’s all over the place, hes really very funny. Soon after he started handing out missions for me to do, including just standing in the street full of people looking forwards, there was a really clever reason behind it that escapes me. Then he decided on an opener for me, in short he would walk me around find someone give me an opener, personalised for each person usually and Id walk over and say it, and ty to keep the conversation going.
Not too long before it started raining we ran into a fellow pua of Gamblers, (who we will refer to as ‘A’) he left all his inhibitions on a bus or something, cos he would just open sets with ridiculous sentences however would get some fantastic results and just laugh if it went a bit weird.
Gambler earlier that day, had put us on the guest list of a club, we headed down met up with another pua (we will refer to him as R) , coincidently this time, and sarged everyone, he pointed and I went over, it got much easier the more I did it, im not gonna lie, it scared the f$%k out of me. We ended up going to an Irish bar where I held a two set for about 30 minutes before the bar closed and we were made to move on out, then we preceeded to hit a club, where Gambler pretty much refused to let me not talk to anyone. I had to talk to every attractive woman in my vicinity.
Every time ‘A’ approached a set I was right there, everytime, got an email close outve it and started opening sets without being told to, and considering Id had 4 hours sleep the previous day and we’d been sarging for 13 hours, I was suprised I could even talk let alone game.
In summary, Gambler has a completely non threatening confidence, you dont feel less than him in anyway, he never makes you feel bad about msitakes, and he advises what to do next. I havent had as much fun in my whole life, and can freely open sets with minimal effort now that Im back home, its changed my life.
