CARDRUNNERS

I've decided to start coaching again. I will be coaching 100nl and 200nl players for $100/hr. I will only take 2 students right now. At some point in the near future I will offer coaching up to 400nl and my rates will increase at that time for any new students(prob $125-150/hr). However the 2 students I take now will have the $100/hr rate locked in for 45 days or 12 hours after I up the rates, whichever comes first...this way they will still be able to get a good amount of sessions in at the price they locked in for. I am definitely not going to up my rates before 2008 though fwiw.

I have been working on my game and think it is very good right now. I play a 28/23ish style and made that transition from playing 22/18ish. I think my postflop play is very good and I have alot of concepts to teach that I think many MSNL players don't understand. I will be doing coaching through a combination of Skype(chatting program) and Mikogo(screen sharing program). You will need both of those programs which are free and a headset w/ a microphone.

Here are some screen shots of my results. The 1st is my past 80k hands at 400nl all on FTP 6max. The 2nd is my stats since I have started to loosen up(the results are very good for how bad I was running. The 3rd is my PokerEV during the hands shown in the 2nd screen shot. It shows that I was running pretty bad but still had some pretty good results.

If you are interested or have any questions please PM me on CR.

Apparently CR is opening up a new coaching forum. I am hoping they are doing this for free to better provide service to the struggling low limit player. If they force a fee to advertise for coaching, unfortunately this will be passed down to the students. In any case, this means more competition for me. In a way it will suck, but I believe in a free marketplace.

Competition will only make the services better and more efficient and cheaper. This will be great for students, and I have always been an advocate of people getting the best quality advice for their money, even if it means going to someone else other than me that may suit them better.

In any case, I put my resume in, and I think this will be exciting, as I love competition, and would love to drive my coaching competitors into the ground by outcoaching the hell out of them. I will be working very hard on my game, as well as adding a lot of things for my students.

Some things that I have been toying around with, those who are working very hard on there game, and looking to get almost weekly coaching will be rewarded with being able to access weekly group study sessions. Also, I have been thinking about doing a 4 week coaching seminar titled, Myths about the red line. This will probably involve power point presentations covering each topic in detail, also I have been thinking about offering a group consulting lesson where 6 of my students will play a table together. I'm really looking to reorganize my coaching style. A more structured approach, that will involve homework, individual sweat sessions, study groups, tests, group sweat sessions, group seminars, group consulting, poker tracker analysis, leak finder videos. I really have a lot of ideas on where I want to take my coaching. I want to build a close nit of people that will reinforce each other to stay on top of their game.

I'm not sure what exactly I will charge for these services. I'm not looking to make tons of $$ from coaching. I do think I should be fairly compensated. My rates will not be out rageous by any means, and I will try to make them fair to me, as well as to you so feedback on prices would be appreciated.

I hope you guys stick with me, and believe in the things that I teach. I feel I have a lot to offer, but I will understand if you think another coach will suit you better.  And if good will doesn't convince you, maybe this will.
