6 Max Cash Coaching for FTRers up to 100NL.
1. General Introduction
Hey guys, many of you probably know me from years gone by. I took a little hiatus from grinding regularly as well as from FTR but am now back playing poker full time and trying to be an active part of this community. I've been an instructor on www.grinderschool.com for the last 3 years and have extensive experience making poker videos and doing private coaching with students working their way between 2NL and 100NL 6 max cash.
I thought I'd let you guys here know what I offer incase any of you have been considering hiring a private coach. I offer both single sessions and an all inclusive coaching package. I think the latter is definitely the better value for money and has helped many a grinder in the past move through the stakes. Please see below for details
2. My Coaching Package
The package usually runs for 8 weeks and is comprised of the following.
*5 one hour long coaching sessions: These are done via skype and teamviewer. These sessions take various forms as described in the next session and are chosen based on what we feel will best help your development at the time. Students take sessions as regularly or sparsely as they like while the package is running and space them out to allow time for implementing new ideas, digesting new theory and just discussing hand histories or theory with me in the meantime.
*A 30-45 minute consultation: This is our general overview before we get down to detecting your main specific leaks and addressing them. During the consultation we'll examine your graphs, results, stats etc and talk over where you feel less comfortable. We'll also look to address issues like bankroll management, tilt prevention and healthy grind/study habits.
*Constant HH review support over skype instant messaging: Reviewing hands is an integral part of a healthy learning curve. I urge all of my students to get into the groove of always reviewing minimum 3-4 hands from their sessions after they've sat out. Students send over HHs with their own analysis and I get back to them with my critique on their hand and their analysis of it. Response time is usually around 24 hours maximum and often a lot faster than that. If I'm at my computer and not in a session I'll get back to you right away.
*Mentoring and General Support: Feeling tilted, having trouble with a certain type of situation or just need a chat about how things are going? As your coach I'm at hand to talk through the good and the bad times of your poker journey. We can discuss stop losses, BR management, session length, optimal amount of tables and much more.
Homework: I send out homework exercises to my students regularly with a variety of themes/topics. I post back a review of how the student has done with scores for each question.
The coaching package is a progressive way of teaching. I have come to believe this is by far the most reliable way to improve results and build competent players. We set goals, target certain aspects of the game and direct your learning to where it's most needed.
3. Session Formats
Our live sessions are chosen based on what best suits your needs at the time. This very much depends where we're at and what leaks we've thus far identified.
Leak Finder: In this format we review a video of you playing your usual game and discuss areas of improvement. This format is great for pinpointing the every day leaks you might not have been aware of. Often these are the most severe if not for their magnitude then for the frequency at which they occur.
Live Ghosting: I watch over your shoulder as you play live. This helps with your in game thought process which should differ in character to analysis done off the tables.
Live Sweats: Ghosting in reverse. I'll play a session at your stakes and we'll discuss things I'm doing that you wouldn't, or things I'm not doing that you would. Another good way to bust leaks.
Themed HH Review Here we direct our attention to a certain spot you're struggling with or just want to build confidence in. We'll review a series of hands you've marked on the relevant topic(s).
Theory Session No hands or live play; we just go through a theoretical topic in depth.
