Offering free "coaching" I guess.

Reason?

Well I can't play poker right now, or for the foreseeable future due to outside commitments. I'd like to keep in touch with the game and I feel that helping other players is the way to do it.

I specialize in 9 man turbo SNGs I've played predominately low stakes, however I know I can achieve in the mid stakes but have lacked opportunity to play there with a sufficient bankroll. I know I have something to offer break even or losing players who are struggling to show a profit.

What can i offer?

Everything from general strategy, help with various poker tools and software and also vast knowledge of SNG Wizard and ICM. I generally don't do live sweat sessions as I feel they are a complete waste of time, however one sweat session at the beginning just so I can get an idea of how you think about the game. Basically, I can try to give you the tools to help yourself, I won't do the work/thinking for you.



Downside?

Well I believe I am not the greatest at teaching people. I know the knowledge myself, but find it hard to actually convey that knowledge to others in easy simple forms (another good reason to take someone on). So if you are looking for expert coaching who are clear and confidant with their process, look elsewhere.


Who will i take on?

Up to you guys, not sure if there will actually be anyone interested in this to begin with. However if you are, i'd only be interested in players who are actually serious about getting better. Also I pretty much only offer this to 9 man turbo tournaments. I can be somwhat helpful in the regular speed, but nowhere near as helpul as the turbo or super turbo formats.




So if you are struggling with the game, want to get better, and are willing to work hard at the game, I offer my time to help you to get better.

This is awesome and a great gesture. I've always been OK but not good at S&G's, usually regular speed. I think I play too tight and then in turbo don't get enough good cards and find myself shoving marginal spots. Built my BR up on PS on cash during FEB from $15 to $100 and was thinking about moving to S&G's because 2NL is so easy but 5NL feels like a big jump.

We all get dealt the same cards, it's how we use our stack. That's where the skill comes into play. The luck is the same for everyone.

Yeah, I know, I guess Turbo isn't conducive to my TAG tyle, need to change it up and learn where the +EV spots are to shove

im not so big on the turbos, but would always like to improve my game,
i may be interested in a bit of advise/strategy

What are your hours? What time's are you usually online?

I'm not a big fan of turbo's but I'll always take some advice on them whenever possible.

Does it matter which site I would be playin' from? I noticed your stats are from PS.

I am definitely interested in this. I regularly play 9-man turbo SNG's on stars. I'm a break even player at the 3+40s and the 6+50s. Any help at becoming a winning player would be great!

If you decide to actually go through with this, I hope you'll consider me as a candidate.

I have PT3 so i can post stats and charts if needed.

I don't require the full package atm but would love to send you a HH again to see if i've improved on last year?

I am very interested in everything you talked about. I am not a turbo player, but I would be more than willing to try. My time is not at an abundance right now with a full time job, so I would like to throw that out there right away. I have played STT from $1-$5 with decent success (on full tilt). I have a terrible attention span so always pass up on winning a little here to try and hit it big at cash or MTT. Would love to have a reason to plug away at STT. Anyways...that is me.

Also, I'm specialising in $5-$11 super turbo and turbo 6-max STT's if you think you can help

Terrific, I'll take the offer. I'm trying to get better at 9-handed SnG's at FT
Thanks for the offering.

I'll put in an application!!

How do I go about it all then?

Very nice offer, some very impressive stats there too.

I'll usually be available for two days a week all day. But predominately i'll be online past 10 PM at night. I'm from Australia, which is early morning for the US. Of course i'm always available via email.

Yeah, i should be of help with those games. I've actually developed a few tools and shove charts that i've made specifically for Super turbo games. 6max i haven't had a lot of experiance with, however i've been studying big 6max winners lately and noticing trends in distribution already. The cool thing about learning a specific format like the 9 man STT is that it can be applied to pretty much any game. Once you have that solid background understanding, it's all a matter of adjusting to structure or differant level of competition.



Didn't expect to get this many takers..

I obviously cannot take on everyone, so i'll be getting in contact with those of you that i feel display the attributes that I feel will suit my coaching best. Of course those who are active in the forums here will be well recieved also.

I'll leave this run for a week or so, to make it easier, just shoot a PM my way and post the main username you play under (gives me an idea of your game, past history).

I'll also make sure this is OK with the forum mods. Pretty sure it will be, but just to clarify. I don't expect or want anything in return for this, apart from the player/s I help to put in a solid effort ( I won't help you, if you don't help yourself).

As long as it is free it is okay. If you start charging - then we need to talk.

(have the coaching thread for that stuff)

I'm in desperate need of help. It would be awesome if you could coach me. I really want to get better.

Im a 2.00+25 turbo player and want to move up to 6.50 but everytime I try I get my arse handed to me. I play on ftp and I use sharkscope+hem. Currently my BR will not sustain moving up but tips on what is the huge difference would help me. Jay
