Getting a positive redline in a 6 max or FR environment almost certainly means either you or your opponent are making some serious mistakes. Namely, 1. villains are folding way too much. 2. You're missing value and villains are correctly folding their losers.

looking for a coach for turbo 6 max sngs. have played the 3.40s last week to build roll. I am rolled for the 6's and maybe 13's within a few days. Have played 6's and 13's before with positive results in both.

Have lots of free time the coming months and am looking to earn a little income (willing to disclose reasons if requested) looking to play 3-5k games a month.

Would prefer to do a profit split deal over a number of months (using my own $ ofcourse) as it is in the best of both our interests, Mine being learning from a proven winner moving up the stakes, yours obv letting me grind long and hard for your gain lol.

Pm me offers and site-s/n please

Feel free to pm me an questions you have

Cheers

This is completely bogus information.

Again, unless villains are very regularly folding winners, the only other way to improve your non-showdown winnings is to get them to fold their losers, which is not desirable.

It's entirely possible you can be up against a lineup who folds to 3 bets, blind steals, cbets, and other forms of aggression with such high frequency that you can get non-showdown to neutral or positive ranges... but in those cases your villains really are playing like garbage.

How do people have 3.5k posts on 2p2 and still don't know what they're talking about? Seriously, I've seen this from so many 1k+ posters, what do you guys do with your time on these boards?

I am not saying it's not possible. Vs. the typical mid-stakes 6max FR NLHE lineup (lol 12/10/7 with 60% fold to 3bet, and winning) in fact it probably is even desirable. But those guys are not really playing optimally.

Pick good spots to bluff, protect your hands, don't fold your winners (dah), don't do the "call, I'll fold to a second barrel", don't cbet then give up. There are various other points regarding proper poker play that can lead to a better (less negative) redline and vs. the right opponents, you can in fact end up with a neutral or even positive redline.

I am just saying that goal by itself is not necessarily desirable and blindly trying to push the redline toward neutral or positive ranges can actually cost you money, even if you do get the line close to neutral.

I mean, the surest way to get non-showdown to neutral (and probably positive) is to be all in every hand you play. That, for obvious reasons too numerous to list, is undesirable.

I'm searching for a 6-max NL coach for a friend to be done in person in either Las Vegas or Los Angeles. Still google searching, but it'd be a lot easier if those of you that fit this criterion could send me a pm. Thanks

Coming back from a long layoff and I was only beginning to learn poker at the micros. I played about over 3/4 million hands and have just recently been a steady winner. I was trying to bluff and still win playing bad poker before.... guess what .. it didn't work.

I think back about 6 months ago, I think people like DC and grinder school(very cost effective) but who is good right now. People said CR focuses on the higher limits. Just looking to play ABC poker and something a bit advanced.

Looking for a coach to help tighten up my online game. I consider myself a pretty solid $1/2 NL player live (and have been winning some good money lately) but am just about breaking even at the micros online.

It's confusing me because supposedly higher stakes ($1/2) are supposed to be harder than lower stakes, but I feel like my game live is leaps and bounds above my online game. I practically feel like I'm psychic in live games sometimes, with some of the sick reads I get off of people. I realize If I could tighten up my online game (playing poker based just on the cards and betting and timing information without all the additional information that comes in a live game) it will help me in my live playing as well.

The fact that I am succeeding live tells me I have a pretty good foundation, but need just a little bit more (i.e. the added information) to make my game profitable. I think if I can learn to beat online games, it'll make my overall understanding of the game such that I can REALLY start killing live games, as well as making a profit online.

I'm still being extremely tight with my money. I have $830 saved up from what started as $5 a couple months ago, but have only been winning live more consistently as of the last couple weeks. My goal right now is to work that up to a $10,000 bankroll within the next three months. So right now, I'm in saving mode. I don't think I would be able to pay a coach what it seems like a lot of them ask for.

However, if you can spend some time working with me, and turn my break-even micro play into a steady profit, I would be willing to offer a cut of profits from both the online micro play AND live play if I notice it's really made my game complete.

I would be even be willing to transfer $25 from my UB account (out of ~$53 I have on there) to you as a kind of gesture that I'm serious and maybe down payment for my first session. I've been doing pretty well live in both cash games and tournament games recently, and would be willing to start keeping a 'journal' of live play as well to discuss.

I don't think I can pm on here yet, but if you are interested in coaching me please respond to this thread and we can figure something out.

I am looking for a PLO coach. My limits are PLO 100 and 50. I have played close to a half a million hands of PLO in the last two years. I have only began to take PLO seriously in the last 6 months and really trying to improve my play. I am a slight winner but have only began to understand how to play besides nut peddling for the last 3 months or so. I originally only played predictably and tight.

I am looking for a coach that will able to identify leaks in my game both preflop and postflop, as well talking about spots where there is value in trying to steal the pot both in limped and raised pots. I am more interested in postflop leaks but I know that I missing some value preflop due to my tight stats of about 20/15 over a 250k sample. I am less interested in the mathetics part of PLO as I have solid understanding of equity and most matchups due to my experience. I have no issues though with learning but I would prefer my coaching experience to mainly discussion of hands instead of mathetics theory in general.

You can reach me at Jrd222b for both skype and aim or pm me on the forums. Talk about the hourly rate, if you have discounts and what exact details the coaching will be provided.

Looking for a 100-200 NL 6-max coach. Preferably someone who has beaten 400NL 6-max over a decent sample. WR is important to me. I'm beating 50NL and lower for 3+ BB/100 but am hitting a wall at 100 and higher and want someone to take a look.
