I haven't started coaching yet, but I've been seriously looking into it, because lately I [censored] hate playing tournaments.

my qualifications are that I've been a consistent MTT winner for two years with major wins on every site and this one big live score this one time blah blah blah. most importantly is that as the games have adapted and gotten tougher I've been able to keep the pace and not fallen to the wayside like the online "superstars" of yesteryear.

I'll teach you how to identify spots where you can pick up chips that you wouldn't otherwise notice. I'll teach you how to be properly aggressive and switch gears when necessary. I'll teach you how to be observant of your table; you'll learn which opponents' bets mean what, who's full of [censored] and when to exploit that, who's feigning weakness, etc. Poker is a game of people, and too many of us get programmed into making generic responses to actions because of the forums or because we're multitabling or whatever. I'll teach you to exploit players bad and good. I'll teach you to win the pots you need to win without showdown to pad yourself for the late-game races. I'll teach you to maximize your advantage as a big stack, truck along looking for good opportunities as a medium stack, and push sooner than everyone thinks you should as a small stack, because I believe getting back to a big stack is more important to tournament success than floating along as a short one. I'll teach you how to understand the flow of the game and the table and move with it, not against it. I'll teach you all the stuff that makes me a winner and makes everyone else think I'm an idiot.

I do sweating via AIM (and eventually Skype when I get it), hand history reviews, and answer questions.

And now:
