Keep the right focus, work harder than everybody else, and we will have another great year!

EVbb/100, not bb/100

Just wanted to put in a plug for Bill. I have worked with Bill for 4 months now and we meet three times a week. I currently play 5-5 NL live Deep Stack and my poker has improved greatly since working with Bill. I was previously a winning player at the 5-5 level. After working with Bill I have improved my average winnings per session by over 3-fold. More importantly, I have the confidence that I am the best player at each table that I sit down at. With Bill's help I am about to move up to 5-10NL deep stack, with my ultimate goal of crushing 10-25NL deep stack.

Bill has helped me improve my thought processes in a way that has worked well for me. I am a pretty headstrong guy and have "my way" of doing things. Bill has a great style about him and is always able to convey information in a way that is meaningful and effective. I've done a lot of reading and most of the stuff that he teaches isn't in books. Since he teaches through the use of real examples, I have found that the quality of teaching is much better and more usable than by learnings through other methods.

In terms of a ROI, while I have paid bill quite a money for coaching, the return on my investment has been huge. I highly recommend Bill and I owe him a debt of gratitude, but selfishly and honestly, I am also hoping that not too many other players that I play against will use him because it will erode my edge.

Thanks. It has been a nice collaboration thus far for sure.

you really should not offer 6 max nl coaching lol

I have taken a few lessons with Bill and so far I'm happy with the results. Just came back from Vegas where I did well and a lot of it is thanks to the adjustments and leaks that we plugged working together.

I'm sure there are coaches with different resumes out there and you have to find the right coach for you.

Bill is a great fit for me so far and I plan to continue doing sessions with him.

I like his coaching style, his quiz was eye opening.

I wanted to share my personal experience with Bill's coaching.

I played online and at my local card room before Black Friday and learned enough from books and websites to be a small winner. Due to life events I took a few years off from poker. When I started playing again, I knew I didn't want to be a break-even or even a small winning player and determined to get serious about getting better. I've been working with Bill for several months now and can attribute the following benefits directly to his coaching;

* I think differently about many parts of the game and about my game specifically. I've had many "ah-ha" moments from material that just isn't covered in books. (I've read a lot of books.)
* I play better and fear the "tough" players in my room much less than I used to. In fact, I've noticed that a few of them have started to seat-change around me.
* I don't tilt as often or nearly as hard as I used to. In fact, I hardly tilt at all any more. I attribute this largely to being more comfortable at the table with my game, my betting decisions and my observations of other players.
* Bill has a great way of cutting through the bull**** and telling me what I need to hear (not what I want to hear) in a helpful, tactful, yet direct way. He's a great teacher.
* Finally, Quite simply, I'm winning more and more often.

I still have a long way to go and plenty to learn, so I'm looking forward to working with Bill for a long time to come. The returns on coaching investment has been very positive for me and my bankroll.

Thanks Bill,

Update. Nobody has a nice graph when running below EV. I am running slightly above as can be seen. My goal was to crush with the red line - the non showdown line which I am accomplishing this goal tremendously IMO.

I am accomplishing this goal with a very unconventional style which is why I offer online coaching and feel there is tremendous value there. My opinion, thats all.

What an amazing 2014, coach! I'm off to a great start in '15 as well. I owe it all to you, buddy.

Thanks for all you do! I'm very appreciative that you decided to dive into coaching.

I would say that starting a year ago making 3k per month, moving forward to today making approx. 14k per month was quite a year.

Any lurker here should contact Needscards by PM and see what 6 hours per week can do for a person inside of a year. Its phenomenal. Its takes two though. I can do my part and you have to do yours. CB worked wonders with my material no doubt.

Great show buddy!!

Bill has worked wonders for me so far. He has changed how I think about the game, and I have had nothing but positive and informative interactions with him. In fact, my last session I was given an extra hour for free "just because." I've been working with him for about 2 months now and will continue for the foreseeable future. If you want a coach to give you these small epiphany moments nearly every session, Bill is the guy for you.

Thanks, and for all those lurking, check my online graph that i recently added to my coaching Original Post. The positive red line shows how well my non showdown game is and how we exploit the villains massively without even showing the hand. Getting a positive redline is very difficult for most as you can see on most pros graphs.

Check it out, and i hope I can help you out as well.

listen, bill, i'm not a hater.

it seems many people are happy with your coaching and if anything, that's the most important.

you're beating bovada at like 3evbbs at best and that graph really shows youre closer to breakeven. it's not proof you're a good player, and that feels deceptive.

focus on your ability to bring the best out of people. it seems that's what youre good at.

this thread is so bizarre. i think i understand what happened, but i'm having trouble believing it actually happened. some1 please tell me i'm wrong.

AintNoLimit was selling a packet of poker writing, but one of the essays was not written by him, but written by BalugaWhale, an elite player and fellow coach. ANL (the OP of this thread) was selling it without his permission.

AintNoLimit's plagiarism caused 2p2 to close his previous coaching thread, then after he paid restitution to BalugaWhale he was allowed to open this thread. this is where it gets weird...

months later AintNoLimit posts advice he gave on 8 hands and says something like "you be the judge of how good my advice is." BalugaWhale (recognized as a very good player, also the guy whose work ANL plagiarized) responds saying "6 hands your advice was bad, 1 hand was incomplete advice and one hand you got right" then posts his thoughts on the hands.

...and now AintNoLimit is using that exchange here as some sort of advertisement of his coaching, the "8 hands 2 coaches" thing?

Just thought id point out that those two graphs aren't the same. Maybe that's already been addressed.

Hi there,

I am a newcomer to 2+2 and it seems over the years Bill has excelled in coaching (as stated in many posts). Obviously there is never an exact science to poker and play is forever evolving. I am 25 years old and looking to play at a professional level in cash games. It's a no brainer that a poker coach would be of much benefit. I'm really curious in regards to learning how your style has evolved to adjust to current trends and as you mentioned your style of play is quite unconventional how that would impact my current tight aggressive style. Look forward to the feedback.

Thanks

Ive been debating for over a year now to try out ANL. One thing that concerns me is paying $15 for a test that the most anyone got is 75%, then on top of that, I have to pay him $100 more to go over the test to see what I missed.

At least thats how I read the site. Maybe Im wrong. These last few posts made me wonder if this is really legit.

Hopefully someone can shed some light.

Do you want it for free? It's a business and you are the winner, big winner if you go down this path with Bill. He's a genius, he truly is.

I've been with him since Dec of 2013 and the results have been incredible. He is the best bang for your buck in the coaching industry.

However, you're right it's expensive, probably a rip off. Don't pay him. I like being the one at the table no one has any idea what I'm doing.

hello, I am a French poker player, I want a coach who speaks French (Quebec) for NL100 + fullring and sh. I seek contact decent, thank you.

Hey there.

Dont take it from me. Just ask needscards1 about how we "evolved" over that past 2 years to meet demands. We must evolve as time goes by simply because others change their play and tendencies.

He went from making ~2500 to over 13k monthly, and we evolved 3 times during his coaching so far. But ask him, for an objective answer if you will.

Interpret how you will. I have logged roughly 150k hands at just under 8bb/100 on Bovada.

I have "real" students who attest how thankful they are for our partnership and coaching.

And yet, so many work so hard to discredit.

My results speak for themselves. My students speak for me. What more can I say?

Maybe an original essay on mechanical 3 betting? Or maybe plagiarize someone else and then use their clowning of you as a comparison between 2 coaches? Just make sure your literary guy, since any good coach has one of those, doesn't accidentally copy an Ed miller book and put your name on it!

Hey Bill, just a note to say great job on evolving your strategies, keeping us ahead of the curve and winning optimally. The newer betsizing ideas are pretty sweet.

Case in point, last night I was able to keep the lead in a hand, setting the price on every street, and getting called by worse with my JJ - on a Q44 10 A (no flush) board. The rivered Ace was the best, still was able to get a "curiosity call" from a hand that couldn't beat JJ. Great stuff for maximizing our dollars per hour, because each and every dollar counts. They certainly add up over time. Thanks again Bill.

Well put sir.

I wholeheartedly agree with everything said here.
