I'm going to test out coaching to make me feel more productive. There was a day a while ago when I cleaned my house and did some other chores and it made me feel productive and it in turn made me more confident in my poker game.
I'm not new to coaching but the only people I have coached for long periods of times are friends. I will start out with exceptionally cheap and inexpensive rates and depending on demand and how I like it, adjust those rates. I also may want to do something where I take a couple people who have been break-even 100 or 200NL players for a long time and start coaching them for a % of their gain. Since they will have been break-even players for a while, they will not be able to deny that their jump in hourly is a direct result of me fixing up their game. This will align both of our incentives IE what's good for student is good for me and visa versa.
If anyone is interested, PM me ur Skype and I will add you. There will be no rush though and I will take things at my own pace. I will provide references and information about myself as necessary but I will only take on a couple students at first and I assume most of you know who I am.
I can provide graphs which extensively show that I solidly beat up to:
1kNLHU
1kNL6m
50nlFR (i don't play FR at mid stakes and my PTR has me as a small winner at 100nl because I 24 table it sometimes to get a break from high stakes when I'm on life tilt)
HU sitngos up to 50$ sitngos
single table FR sitngos up to 25$ sitngos
I can provide references and other such stuff but I'm trying to keep most things on a need to know basis. I do a lot of the time start from scratch when I've been losing for too long. I made a bet like 3 years ago with floofy that I could turn 1000 play chips into 6K (using rake back FPPs I made during that time) and easily beat it. I had a big downswing something like 14 months ago where I cashed out my roll and started from 50$
I remember I slacked off a bit too and wasn't averaging 14 hours a day even during that stint. People routinely tell me I waste so much time by doing this but it's also this caution that redisciplines me and has been the reason I have never had a shortage of money or scare that I will have to go find a real job in many years.
Also my 6m mid stakes graph on PTR is not that impressive and for a long while I barely played any 6m because I always thought I sucked at it. I looked at my holdem manager results (PS barely played means 125k hands over 2 years or w/e)
and I realized that I don't really suck at 6m. Since then I've played some 1knl 6m on the side just a table or two now and then and have been doing very well over a considerable sample size.
Anyway, I'm a little hesitant to release my specific stats or what my screen names are across all sites but if I decide to coach someone, I will provide ample information if they play high enough that I respect their concerns. As it is, right now, I'm actually looking maybe for more lower stakes people to coach, 1/2 to 50nl say.
Write down any questions you may have and I'll get respond to them tomorrow if I can't tonight as I am in London and it's about time to head out.
