Let me preface this by saying I
do not have the funds to afford a for-profit coach, but that knowing myself, a coach is what I need.
I've been a casual online player for a couple years now. I've dabbled in everything from cash games to STTs to MTTs and when I'm on top of my game, I've managed to eek out small profits.
However, it's hard for me to stick with one thing for any lengthy amount of time without someone to be there for me as support and motivation. My worst leak is how quickly I monkey tilt. I have a hyper-aggressive style that lends itself to playing way too many hands OOP pre-flop and naturally I end up getting into terrible spots post-flop that end up with me going busto. From there, it's all down hill.
Moreover, I have a terrible grasp of the math behind the cards. If there's any one area I'd say I need the most work on, it's that. Currently, when I'm playing I don't even think about the numbers. I would like to think I am able to pick up on bet-sizing and timing tells, and that coupled with my hyper-aggressive style enables me to run over tables I'm 100% focused on. But, again... it could be that I've got a little bit of run-good in me.
With that, I have $35 to start with. I'm considering grinding out $1.20 9-man STTs on FTP until I have the roll to move up to the $2.25s, but I feel like my bankroll lends itself more to playing 2NL over STTs.
I realize coaching me for no profit is making a giant leap of faith, but I am serious about improving my game and would very much appreciate someone taking me under their wing and keeping me on a tight regimen that caters to
a lot of theory talk, HH reviews, sweats, and reading.
