Completely agree with all the analysis of Leader as a coach. I got the Complete Game Review. He definitely knows how to get you thinking the right way about a hand. When he breaks it down, it seems almost automatic for future references. Which is his look on improving as a player. There is always stuff you can fix, but the more it becomes automatic making the right play your win rate will improve. He knows the foundation of how to approach the game. As a fairly new player (200k hands) I believe that i can only go up from here. I look forward to moving up and believe that Leader will be a large part of that.

I was in a major rut in my game. Constant down-swings and only 0.6BB/100 winner in my main game. I tried a lot of self-study, watched a ton of videos etc but I was not making any improvement.

I also took the Complete Game Review and am very happy with the results. I had a lot of leaks that I would never have been able to spot on my own. Some very large, some very nuanced. Leader was able to identify them easily and give solid advice on how to plug them.

He gives very concise advice and instruction. The way he is able to explain concepts makes it very easy to understand and apply.

He is very patient and easy to work with.

Would definitely recommend his coaching to anyone looking to improve their game.

I play small stakes LHE (2/4-5/T) for a living for about 2 years now, and I recently bought the complete game review package from Leader during a downswing of biblical proportions, because I needed to find out if I had developed leaks during this stretch (or if I had any previously), and badly needed to regain my confidence.

As far as I know, no one offers such a comprehensive game review package as Leader does - there are quite a few solid coaches in the market, but unless you are really leaking like the Titanic, it can be very difficult to spot real leaks in your game if someone only does some session reviews or sweat sessions for you, which is what most coaches offer. Getting a big chunk of your database analyzed by a widely respected and solid midstakes player who is a statistics expert at the same time is probably your best shot at finding things in your game that are costing you money on a regular basis.

In my opinion Leader did a really good job in finding stuff like this in my game, and explained very clearly why and how they might cost me money. We also did lot's of analysis of hands I collected for our sessions, which represented problematic areas in my game and I feel that my understanding of these areas has become a lot better.
I'd also like to add that he was always on time, well prepared for our session and always easily available to schedule the next one.

With his help I managed to regain my confidence during the darkest times of my poker carreer, which is absolutely crucial to pull out of a downswing, and I'm also certain that I plugged some leaks that were cutting into my winrate.
For 500 bucks, this package is ridiculously high value, highly recommended.

I play 2/4 - 5/T limit holdem, and took on The Complete Game Review in order to find and plug leaks in my game. This turned out to be a really good decision, as by analysing my database Leader was able to highlight a number of areas where my play was sub-optimal. Without having this review, I am quite sure I would still be making these weak plays now and into the future.

As well as pinpointing mistakes in my play, Leader was able to give me useful advice on how to internalise this new learning and make sure that the new knowledge was not forgotten. In addition he provided the basis of a plan for me to keep improving my play in the future.

Needless to say, $50 an hour for coaching from an experienced mid stakes player/statistician/teacher is remarkable value and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Hey,

Over past few weeks, I've completed Leader's 'continual education' package ($200 for 4 sessions) and writing a review regarding the same. While I'm basically a limit newb, I think this review can be helpful to higher-stakes regs as well.

I was seeking limit coaching a few weeks ago because I decided to go for supernova late in the year and playing limit cash games was the route I chose to accelerate earning the vpps. I had been interested in improving my limit game for some time, and this was a good opportunity for me to put in some volume. So, I decided to get coaching along the way, and seeing good reviews in this thread, chose Leader.

In talking with Leader, it became clear right-away that he knows the game pretty well, and that he is experienced and well-versed with the nuances and intricacies of the limit game. Any time we discussed specific hands, he had a clear and succinct way of articulating reasoning behind recommended plays in certain spots. He also will recommend/link to various resources that a newb might not be aware of.

Additionally, he is well-versed with databases, and if you're looking to have someone do a database analysis, he will certainly provide value in that regard as well. Limit knowledge-wise, he certainly has the resources and it is for you to make the most of it. He is also professional in terms of scheduling, replying promptly and always being on-time.

Overall, he is personable and easy to discuss poker with. If you want to structure the session a particular way, he will accommodate your requests in that regard as well. I have no qualms about writing a positive review for Leader as it has been a good experience for me and personally feel, my limit game has improved a lot.

Feel free to pm me with any questions regarding this review.

Leader,

Can you please contact me re coaching bhcaoc@gmail.com?

Thanks

I recently completed Leader's Complete Game Review program and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for LHE coaching. He was very thorough in his analysis and well prepared for our sessions. He plugged a lot of leaks in my game and was able to clearly explain the rationale behind all of his advice. For the price, I feel like his coaching is a great value and quickly paid for itself at the tables. I plan to continue receiving his coaching.

Leader, what stakes do you normally coach at?

I've coached students that play at 30/60 and others that play .25/.50. To me, the stake you're playing isn't hugely important to how we go about making you a better player. It's more about were you are as a player. If you're new to the game, we focus on the basics; building a solid foundation pf and postflop. If you're struggling or doubting your game, we focus on finding systematic flaws and rebuilding confidence. If things are going well but you want to take that step up to higher games, we focus on developing a routine for gradual improvement and upgrade your tools for analyzing the game.

If you have any other questions, let me know.

Leader's complete game review was very enlightening for me. There's lots of value in having an experienced player sift through a big sample of hands to find problems in your play that you weren't necessarily aware of. He had lots of both practical and theoretical insight for play at the table and analysis away from the table. He did a good job of teaching how to properly analyze a hand using all the tools and info available.

All things considered, his review was a remarkable value.

I got the complete game review package from Leader. After playing nearing 2 millions hands last year going for SNE my game was on auto pilot. I needed a coach that was able to analysis my database and see where my leaks were coming from and there was a tons that he was able to point out. I love the fact that he point out a bunch of hands and showing example of where I am making my mistake. He showed detail of what hands in what position I should open up more. I had a lot of questions in general and he was able to give me different points of view and let me come up with my own thought. The whole experience was great. Not only did he provide what I needed but a lot more then what I asked for


My Jan and Feb graph where I begin my coaching from Leader

I've had 4 sessions with Leader, and my results have been terrific ever since, so I thought I'd send out a little plug.

I've been a wining $2/4 player for a couple years, and wanted to move up to $5/10, so I figured I'd get some coaching. My game is fairly math based, and I recently started up on the 2 +2 forums, so I thought I'd try Leader.

After just 2 sessions of PT3 analysis, and discussing many hands where I was uncertain, I was able to discover and plug several leaks that had slipped into my game. Leader is very good at assessing the value of one play over another, and has helped me shift the way I play in certain situations. He's also very good at using Poker Tracking stats to determine where your play may be faltering.

Investing $60/hr for Leader's coaching is a very wise move, for a player of any ability.

I've been a winning 5/10 and 10/20 reg but got in a break-even/downswing trend so I needed a fresh analysis of my game
Leader's CGR was great and we've talked about a lot of in-game situations aswel as working on my game away from the tables
Long story short I've been crushing again for the past 100k hands

Great value for money

I did a couple sessions with leader and he helped me with a number of leaky areas: 3-bet ranges and considerations, showdown value, etc. Very enlightening.

I'm a 2/4-6/12 HU player and I give credit to Leader for helping me out with my LHE game.

He's clear, understands the math and quickly understands where your thought process is wrong.

He's also a nice and cool guy in chat. You don't feel like you're talking to a coach or teacher.

This being said, I'll need to get another session one of these days
