Interested. PM sent.

Hey,

First of all I just wanted to say thanks for the opportunity. Coaching is not cheap and many of us small stakes grinders simply don't have the bankroll for $500-1000 worth of coaching. Regardless of who is nominated, it will be more appreciated than you can imagine.

I've played poker off and on for about 5 years with some success, however I just finished school and am now going to focus solely on poker (grinding a lot of hours, studying, etc). I got off to a great start in May, however in the last couple weeks I've been on a downswing (the worst of my career) and am really starting to question my plays and reads (which I think is furthering the problem). It was interesting that you said you feel you may not be quite as good of a coach as you thought you were. This really hit home because I've been starting to realize that I'm not as good at poker as I thought I was, and being somewhat successful was just concealing my true ability.

I think this opportunity would help me in two ways. My game is the obvious one. However, lately I've also thought about becoming a poker coach at some point in my career and since your trying to learn how to best coach/teach poker, as well as looking for feedback from those you nominate, it seems like a great experience to improve my game as well as my coaching abilities.

Regarding the other criteria, I'm pretty sure I fit into all of your requirments and can pm you my stats later if your looking for exact numbers. At the moment I don't have access to my HM and thus would just be ballparking. Hope you understand, pm me if you have any questions.

Look forward to hearing from you, all the best,

Huesos

hey, this is a great opportunity and i feel i could take a lot from your input.

also if i am one of the picked, i will do my best for you to take the most out from my input as well.

i consider myself mostly an mtt player, but i did grind for some time the 180s with meh results and mixed feelings.

overall i have 16K games, with a abi of $6 and a roi of 17% for 28ishK profit.





if we just see mtts i have 5K games, with a abi of $12 and a roi of 38% for 25Kish profit.





i started to grind 180s as a way to rebuild and at the beggining i found them super soft.

after some time it felt that i was running ubber bad and even tough i still found them super soft it seemed that i was bricking them all and after a while i was tottaly fed up with them to a point i could almost puke just to see them in the lobby.

it could be variance but most likely its also due to some leaks in my game.

i played mostly the 4/180s and it was supposed to have less variance than the turbo ones.
it was also supposed to be possible to achieve bigger rois, but for some reasons, unfortunetely, that wasn`t the case for me.





i did found some leaks in my game and i tried to work on them. the bigger ones that i could find was being somewhat cally in early levels and being a bit nit in late stage.

i nit a bit when it cames to calling 10/15bbs shoves and sometimes i also nit when it cames for me to push.

i would love to work on my game in this format, but this time at the turbo ones since i feel that they are still a format with great value and also a great alternative to play (or to mix with) mtts.

i am also going to enter a 180s competition soon so it would be a great time for me to tweak my game.

so, i think i could improve from your experience a lot and hopefully i can give you some good input for your coaching projects.

thanks a lot for your iniciative!

Hi there,
I played my first 2,5/180 sng I believe in september 2011 and I am break even since then. Last days I am trying harder to improve my game than I was last months but still dont get results. I took some shots on 3,5$ re buy but never cashed them. This would be great opportunity to improve my game and help you with your experiment ;P If you would like to know anything more from me just pm me.

2,5$/180

szepard 5.039 $0 $2 1% $133

3,5$r /180

[X] variance...

got the time and roll to go FT now

I selected the 3 players. Sent PMs to them all.

If you were selected it means that you fit the criteria I requested and I think I can help.

If you didn't pay attention to the small details then you weren't even considered. The players who read the direct lines and in between them were the ones I selected. Paying attention to the smallest of details in SNGs is what is going to make you more money than Joe Grinder.

Thanks for the interest, all. If you are disappointed I didn't select you, I can say it was because either you didn't meet the criteria as well as others or you weren't considered for underlying reasons. In any case, I appreciate the applications and wish you all the best of luck.

Just wanted to post a quick update following my session with plo ufo. He seemed like a good guy and was more than willing to extend our session in order to get through the hand history as well as answer any other questions I had. Overall, it was a great experience and really opened my eyes to some things I hadn't thought about or perspectives I hadn't considered. Thanks again plo, and best of luck in the future!

It was actually my pleasure. It was my first time really trying to explain my thought process to someone not in person and for longer than just a few minutes. I think I worked through it well and let my conscious just flow. Felt like we went over some really good stuff. Had fun doing it.

I'm glad to read that what I said may have got through and I'm hoping the ideas and strategy I provided will help you stay encouraged to keep playing the game and work harder to get better. Its much more fun when you're winning!

Had a great experience doing this. Best of luck to you as well. And thank you for the feedback.
