I got first introduced to poker during a 2006-2007 New Year party where I lost about 20 bucks. I became curious about the game and started reading up on the internet, started to play a lot of freerolls and even organized a weekly sit-n-go at home. Too scared of "gambling", which is how I thought of poker at the time, I would not deposit any money online. Despite that, eventually I made enough from the freerolls to actually start playing for money and after a couple of sit-n-go only months I was playing 50NL by the end of 2007. From there on I ran well and had a pretty rapid progress to 3/6 in about 4 months.

Reaching 3/6 I encountered a huge wall. I ran breakeven for 3 months and just couldn't get anything going. At that point I got my first coaching lesson and it was amazing - my winrate shot up like crazy and I was crushing 3/6 and 5/10 in no time. There was so much I just did not think about on my own, and I realized that coaching should be incorporated as a regular part of my game. I hit another wall a bit later at 10/20, which took me a lot longer to conquer and again I wouldn't be able to profitably play 10/20 now without help from coaching.

I currently play mostly 5/10 and 10/20.

My usual coaching session is about 1.5 hour long with me watching the student for about half the time, with little interference. We then discuss theory concepts and analyze some of the plays and the logic behind them for the rest of the session.

Recommended Students: Players playing anywhere between 1/2 - 5/10 NLHE. 6-Max and HU
