Well, I'm not "quite" at 2k posts yet but I am close enough!

An idea recently came to mind for this milestone. I'm going to offer one coaching session, free of charge, to one of the posters ITT. My main format is and has most always been MTTs where I've been a consistent winner for a few years at low-midstakes with some recent success in my higher stakes shots. I have a SNG background, but have not played SNGs as my main game in 3 years so I wouldn't be much help to you there. Cash games I'm very inexperienced in as well.

There is however, a catch, as I'm not going to be giving a coaching session to a random person.

- You must have at least 50 posts on CC and have been a member for at least three months.
- You must be able to speak/understand English clearly.
- You must be serious about poker, and ideally a winning player at your games with reasonable volume, not looking for a casual player/freeroller.
- Having an HUD is pretty much a must, as the coaching session would likely be going over one of your hand histories through Skype or Teamviewer.

I'd also like you to post why you feel coaching would help you, what you feel you're struggling with, and why I should choose you!

Lastly, thank you to CC, without this forum I would not have met many influential people and may never have broke through in the real money games as I initially started posting on CC because I wanted to get into the freerolls and didn't want to deposit. :)

Will set a deadline to respond at March 26th at 9:00pm Pacific Time.

First, thank you for doing this.
I would love to get coached by you. Actually, my friend and I are thinking about getting a coach but realized we can't afford it yet so we decided to first build our BR and then get a coach.
I've been playing for more than a year and I started using HUDs three month ago. I have all the qualifications you want and I WOULD LOVE THAT.
This would be revolutionary for me. I will do the same for somebody else when I hit 2000 posts.

Trent,

Congrats on reaching (almost) 2K posts. You're one of the few members on here that I really admire, have learned so much from, and the reason why my game has improve tremendously​.

As much as I'd like to take advantage of your generous offer, I cannot. I encourage those who can to really try because it'll be worth it.

hey trent32la, great idea!

i dont want to participate in the giveaway since i already have a coach, i feel it wouldnt be fair to those who could benefit the most from it. but i might be interested in coaching from you down the road if you do much coaching on the side.

anyone else though, if you feel like you're spinning your wheels, personal coaching is probably one of the quickest ways to improve your game, dont miss out on this valuable freebie!

Thanks guys! :)

mbrenneman0 - I certainly agree that receiving coaching is one of the fastest ways to improve, as you are getting direct knowledge from someone beating the game and it's easy to apply it.

I have formally coached/mentored 3 players in the past who were all breakeven/small losing players and are currently solid winning players in today's game at low/midstakes.

I've been playing for years, read books, studied, listened to podcasts, joined two different poker sites that had videos and learning tools. But i've Never had a coach. I've had some friends that we're/are interested in poker but have never truly wanted to create a "study" group.
I meet all your criteria. I play strictly on ACR and I'm a small winner/break even player. And as of a month ago I've focused all my attention on MTTs.

Thanks for your consideration!
