Seriously, make 3 videos you'll be making 20k a month in coaching.


When its done send me 1k for being the only person with half a brain.
Thanks for the vote of confidence! I think your actual figures are waaay off in terms of money to be made from coaching, however there definitely is good money to be made.

those are actual numbers from last year

This is why a lot of terrible people work so hard on their coaching thread/reputation. Its really easy to get hundreds of guys that cant tie their own shoe come up wth 300$ for 1 or 2 session.

I once coached a guy for 175$/hr(booked 3hrs) and im still unsure how he was able to even install a poker site/type my name in skype.


I know someone who makes 5-10k a month selling distance healing as a side-gig, everything is possible in a world of dumb****s

        Month is over and it could have been a lot worse. Pretty pleased to have halved my losses and to still be over an ev1bb/100 winner when running like total ****.



        Stake breakdown:



        I did earn over 35k vpps this month which I'm happy with. It equals roughly 3k in rakeback which softens the blow somewhat.

        Looking forward to a fresh month!

        had a ***** rubbish first session to the month. Lost around 1.5-2k. I've decided that looking at my results does absolutely nothing for me except piss me off when i'm losing. Will not be posting or looking at graphs or winnings for the whole month, but will still post hands by taking winnings out of sessions tab!

        Yeah I think seeing your losses has different effects based on your mood, sometimes it motivates you to come back & crush, but most the time it just makes you want to take a shotgun to the face.

        Apologies for my absolute blow up post, wasn't in a good place. I do think that this is a very good indication that my mental game isn't anywhere near where I though it was/where I want it to be. I'm going to read the mental game of poker which has been suggested to me and see what I can find! Also had some good chats with some great players for guidance.

        In other news I have been offered an unconditional offer onto the integrative course!! Absolutely delighted with the news as things are really going the way I was hoping in terms of therapy. As part of this new course I will be going into a group with only 10 students. They are also all women. It's a very female dominated profession but I will definitely miss having men's views on things. Also I have to participate in personal therapy. Mixed feelings about this, but I'm sure it's gunna be an interesting journey

        Lastly we lost footie tonight 7-4. Smb is in Vegas which is pretty much the reason we lost, so **** you Stevie, **** you.
