Sup guy's,

My name is Alex, 22 years old from the UK, I've been playing purely mid-stakes 6 max since mid 2009 and have been playing poker since mid 08. I worked my way up mainly playing the deep ante games on FTP. I began to start tables consistently against the better reg's who would play which improved my hu/short handed play immensely and have used very little game selection in my career up until late 2010.

I really enjoy the dynamics of deep play and feel my experiences with such greatly sped up my learning of the game and sculpted my playing style today. This also makes me an ideal coaching candidate for anyone wanting to brush up on 150 bb+ deep theory.

My recent results:



The first pic is of my FTP results from October 2010-April 2011, I don't have any HM hands from further back as I'm a laptop grinder and alas my old lappy died at the hands of unprotected internet porn . Here are some PTR graphs to provide a little backup, the site barely tracked hands from summer 2010 on wards so it works out.





The second is of my results post Black Friday, as you can see it's mainly 2/4 with not much higher, that's mainly due to me having ton's of money stuck on FTP and not being rolled for higher stakes. Volumes fairly meh as I kind of sat there shell shocked for a few month's, then hated the new poker landscape and didn't get back to grinding until the latter stages of 2011.


My rates will vary depending on what stake you play, 140/hr for 1/2 and below, 190/hr for 2/4+ with some leeway being given if you play a mix of 2/4 and 1/2.


These rates will definitely be going up in the future as I currently do not have a lot of experience, I dipped my toes in the water around Feb 2011, and we all know what happened after that. I do however have a plethora of talented, experienced coaches offering me advice and session structures so I doubt it will take me long to truly get to grips with it.

You should look into my coaching for a number of reasons.

- As seen above I'm a top winner 1/2-3/6 over decent samples using little game selection with good success higher.

- I vocalise my thoughts/theory very competently and think of myself as being an excellent communicator. I can explain difficult concept's with ease and I'm a fairly likeable guy too

- I have a flawless reputation among the poker community and have any number of well respected names who can vouch for me.

- My rates are extremely competitive and low considering my results.

I'll be accepting payments through a number of means, so just tell me what's convenient for you.

If you've read this far, wp, and I thoroughly look forward to hearing from you.

Completely unsolicited endorsement:

I'm one of the more well-reviewed coaches here and I'd consider getting coaching from OP. I've played w/ him, I've posted w/ him, always thought he was an awesome player and a good guy. The results he's posted are extremely difficult to achieve. Seems like a great deal at these rates.

That being said, it sounds like OP should consider throwing some of the money he earns from poker/poker coaching at anti-virus/porn selection coaching.

Good luck dude.

Played with OP a good bit pre black Friday, and he was always one of the toughest players at the table. His thought process was so detailed with every hand whenever hand discussions came up.

That is by far one of his strongest abilities, being able to break a hand down and explain it really well, and that translates to being a great coach.

I have also played quite a bit with OP on FTP during mid/late 2010-black Friday. He was one of the few who would consistently start tables at 400nl-1000nl and he was damn good at poker. I could easily tell by how he played that he has a very solid grasp of the sort of concepts that a player needs to succeed in poker.

I've had the pleasure to meet OP in person once and he genuinely seems like a very good person and is really good at articulating his thoughts on poker, so although I don't have any first hand experience with his coaching, I would be shocked if this wasn't a great value he is offering to SSNL players looking to break into MSNL.

Good player, have no idea who he is other than from SN and having played him

Pm'ing you now.

Have played with OP back in the days on FTP always thought he was one of the best 5/10 regs around.

Definitely good value of your money if you are looking into getting coached.

I first encountered ATOTHEC (which, if you're like me you pronounced as "a-tot-hek" for a few months before realizing it's "A to the C," heh) sometime around 2009. I was mainly playing the 1-2nl deep games on FTP. ATOTHEC showed up as a new regular who was obviously a very strong player even if he was relatively inexperienced at the time. We got into a big pot and later we discussed the hand over PM. Over PM and at the tables ATOTHEC was always polite and respectful and he just seemed eager to learn the game from those who have been around a little longer.

Fast-forward about a year and ATOTHEC is playing and having success at stakes 5 times higher than I'm playing.

If you look at his 2p2 user profile and select all threads started by him you can see this one against me from May of 2009 at 1-2nl deep.. In September of 2009 and he's posting hands at the 2-4nl deep games. In late October it's at 3-6nl deep. By May of 2010 it's 4-8nl deep and 5-10nl.

For someone to shoot through the ranks at this speed and with this much success over such big samples is essentially a guarantee that the player is incredibly skilled, intelligent, and possesses a strong work ethic. Post-UIGEA these meteoric rises just don't really tend to happen much anymore.

Despite my incredible bitterness toward the way he left me behind, whenever I've seen a post of his on 2p2 I always take time to read it carefully because I know his thoughts will be solid and helpful and he doesn't ever disappoint. He might not have much coaching experience now but it won't take long for someone who is capable of that rise to become a valuable coach.

alex coaching for $100~/hr is a huge bargain. he analyzes and explains his thought process extremely well and if it wasnt for BF i'm completely certain he'd be rocking it at up at 10/20+ by now. as i said, this is a huge bargain and if i was one of many who struggle to break through from SSNL to MSNL, i'd jump on this pretty easy.

Dude already has so many people vouching, but thought I'd throw in my vouch for him as well. He is a great guy and an even better player. I talk poker w/ quite a few people, but his mind is likely the best pure poker mind of all of them. His rate is well under half of what it should be. Games are getting tougher, and having a coach w/ his mind is absolutely beneficial to keep up with todays games

Still accepting new student's, I guess I should have asked interested parties to post in this thread rather than through private message to stop it moving down the page. So for future reference if you could please do that before pming that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

-Alex
