Yadi's amazing poker training

I can look at a written review of one decision and see exactly where the weaknesses in your poker game are... How, because I'm a gosh darn genius. I think I'm one of only a few people in the world who can do this.

I'm creating this thread so that I can help people with their game so feel free to post me a review of any spot.

Please stick to just reviewing one decision.
Please write a review to the best of your capability.
Please try to choose a spot which confuses you.

Hi, nice to see you help people. How do you help people? Live - on skype? At this thread? Do you ask money? Also i am wondering what your poker ID is at the poker site you play the most at.

I got booted off 2+2 for asking for money for coaching... Would that happen on this site??

I would like to take money, I'm broke! N I have kids lol.

Only, this stuff is really really low level. Really, I want to be teaching atleast level 3 or level 4+ n charging around £100 per hr. Only a handful of people in the world understand the game as clearly as me... I was thinking of perhaps charging £5k for a beginner and just promise to take a player to the end of level 3/start of level 4. Or charging £3k to take them from level 2 up to level 3. Etc etc.. Really I don't mind though, il teach anyway anyhow for the right money. Live with a deck of cards perhaps??

The best way to learn is through written reviews of individual decisions. (Every spot is the same so we only need to learn to do it once properly)... Some other lessons are important too. The human mind is a strange thing, it usually rejects learning its next level. So, I may need to sit in on a session or two to help the player break through to a higher level.

Yadoula8 is my name at 888

You got any solid reasons that anyone would want your advice/help/coaching - free or not - other than the fact that you are a self proclaimed gosh darn genius?

I made 200k with 1.5 years hard work.. I can teach how to do it in just a few minutes if the student is open minded and clever... I get good karma.

Really?? Why are you trying to make a few measley bux coaching when u are slaying the tables??

oops, I think I just failed the open minded part of your requirement...sorry.

Good luck in your endeavors.

I actually just quit playing online cash games due to becoming a buddhist. I was building up bad karma. By writing on here I am building up good karma whilst raising my profile.. I am at a stage of my poker career where prestige is very valuable.

So the spot that confuses me is how someone who only a handful of people in the world understand poker as well as needs money.

Just go play and crush all the games.

ROI: -1

Doesn't look that good,.. but it seems you play very well because we see awesome results there... but maybe you can't deal with bankroll management maybe?

good luck in your good karma, though.

OK, some clarification needed here.

You are a Buddhist. So you dont play cash games. Why?

You will, however, support others playing cash games. Why?

You will, however, accept cash to teach others how to make cash in cash games. Why?


*sneeze*

First of all your post doesn't look very professional. You're a kinda new member here also. Looks like a scam to me. Even the high prices you are asking. People would rather go to a professional coach for a lower price. How ever, i see you got some winnings, but you aren't even profitable at online poker according to the poker database.

This is a joke post, cannot anyone see this?

This is not a joke...

The poker database is incorrect...

I feel that the people I play against in online cash games can't afford to pay me. While live players are usually playing for fun, that or to launder cash.
Therefore, teaching weaker players to beat the games is about the opposit of taking there money. I want to give something back.

I wasn't asking money for any lesson on here, I was simply offering free coaching to anyone who wants it. If I was going for paid lessons then I would try to make it all much more proffesional.

well ... if its for free, how bad can it be?
how you want to do this?

May be a joke post, but he was seriously asking for money lol. And him self doesn't see it as a joke i think according to his reactions. Anyways, if its for free now i can't complain. Just wondering how people experience his coaching. Let me know

you want to charge up to 5K for a small cash game player
I know Cash and MTT are totally different games but if you was that good youd expect to be at least a winner at low buyin MTTS you are actuall a MTT loser

for a losing MTT player with no cash game credentials and the fact where the hell is a micro player gonna get £5k from :icon_thum

All I need is a detailed review of any one spot and I can show u the errors in your thought process clearly - just post a spot and review it.

Mtt and cash game, Omaha even, is all the same really.. It's poker and follows the same logic.... Although, 6 max is the toughest of these games, if u can play 6 max then you can play any poker.

It's clear to me why many people think they can play. I actually can. Although, I can coach better than I can play. My poker theory is excellent.

Which one is it? Offering free advice or selling coaching services?

to be fair with the guy he didnt ask for money in the first post, then the other guy asked if he wants to take money, then he just said he wants. Never said he wants from us.

I think we should get a few hands in here for him to analyse

Yadoula, you've peaked my curiosity. Could you elaborate on the above comment? How is every spot the same when there are so many variables in making a poker decision. To name just a few: Cash or tourney? If tourney, early game or near the bubble or final table? What is my position at the table? What are the characteristics of the player I'm responding to? What are the characteristics of the players yet to act? What is my image at this table so far?

I need to understand what you are trying to do here. So, for example: here is a decision process for me, how would you analyze it?

I have JQs and am facing a raise. I think, I have a good hand. I will 3-bet. How should I be making a decision?

Very good nabmom..

All these variables which you list are factors which could sway our decision. I call these 'peices of knowledge'. The more of these you can take into consideration the better. Although, most people think poker could be worked out by remembering millions of these little pieces of knowledge. This is actually true, it can be, but is a very difficult way to learn the game. Not only that, but it means your plays are rather static, other players at the table can work out your plays and adjust to beat you. I call these players, knowledge based players.

Your though process is what's called a 'level 1' thought process. Don't worry about being on level 1, it's actually easier to teach a level 1 player. The mind accepts the higher levels more easily.

Il follow with a template for upto level 3 logic but if you can make anything from this, you should have written. (This is an insanely complicated on as it's preflop so il be brief).


The villain raises, so his range is Ax+ 78+ etc etc

If I 3bet, my range becomes, AJ+ etc
He folds 75% of his hands so his range to continue will become AJ+ etc
From a pot size raise there is clear fold equity now.. We hit a few less flops than him.

If I call, my range looks like low pp etc
I will keep many hands in the villains range which I own such as JT. I hit much more flops than him.

This spot is close. So it doesn't really matter which option we take.


This may seem quite complicated, but, all I'm doing is drawing a picture of the ranges in my head, and then guessing what would happen to those ranges when I make a decision. Depending on the size of the bet, depends on what I need to happen. So, if I'm betting pot, and he's folding 1/3 of his range, it is a profitable and perfectly plausible play... Pokers actually a very similar game to 'guess who'. It is a little more complicated but not a great deal... Once I teach you all the rules it will become a million times easier.

Here's one I wrote earlier...

Before we can talk properly about individual plays/strategies, we have to understand the thought process involved in making plays. This may seem trivial but in actual fact it is the most relevant and important thing you will ever learn. To learn this, I need you to write me a full review of any one spot of your choice. (One spot, not one hand)

This task is all about organising our thoughts... We consider ranges, then we compare our options, then we make a decision.... To help you think/write it out in order, here is a more detailed template.

First we establish the ranges.
-My range. (All the cards the villain thinks we have)
-Villains range. (all the cards we think he has)

Then we consider how these ranges will change based on our decision.
-Call = Our range will become
-Call = villains range will become
... Repeat the above for the other options, raise, or check.
<br />
Somewhere around here we roughly consider how the rest of the future will affect those ranges. We need to consider any other streets or decisions which are still to come and what this will mean for the ranges.
<br />
Then finally, we compare the different options and conclude... (I give each option, check or bet etc, a rough $ value and if that value is in the minuses then I fold)


That decision making process is the same for every spot. The detailed template above doesn't include level 4+ logic but this is easy to add once we have up to level 3 perfect.

So yeah, your task is to write me one review in as much detail as you can.

All I will teach you is this process above. The easiest way to learn is to write out detailed reviews about individual spots. It will enable you to make any play against any player. I call it 'the range game'... Once you can do this properly, you no longer have a need for any of those peices of knowledge, you can simply work out any play as you go along.

I will help on this thread for free, and will charge for one on one lessons.
