Also, what do you charge for coaching?

Don't have a fee for coaching or really even coach. From one of my Feb freeroll giveaways, the winner asked for some coaching help instead of the $100 he won, as he was playing micros and thought it could be more valuable for him.
He sent me a video of his play and I sent it back with my analysis voiced over top. I actually found it enjoyable, but it was time consuming. He sent a 45 min clip that turned into 1:30 and a 6 min clip that turned into 25 min due to me pausing his footage and talking a bit more in-depth about more interesting/difficult spots.

That's the only reason why and only time I've done any type of coaching outside of HH reviews with friends. Not sure how I feel about doing any more coaching(aside from for freeroll winners who prefer it). Not saying I wouldn't do it or would, just not sure. If you are seriously interested, PM me and maybe we can work something out if it's agreeable to both of us.

Hahahahah yea, at least I'm running good at something.
You the man madmansam!

April Update



So the month started off pretty brutal, with effectively losing the first 14 sessions. Not fun to dig a big hole, but feels great to be out of it. Today, was my first day of April being positive, and my first $2k winning day of the year. That's assuming I don't lose a bunch tonight, hehehe. Only at 53 hrs so far, so I will have to pick it a bit up to hit the goal this month. Still waiting on of last month's winner's to claim.

Year To Date



Behind pace for the my goal, but I'm planning on playing more, playing better, and running better from here on out.

Fun hand from my Friday night special at parx live... 22 sb, limp pot, including button. I complete sb, bb checks, and we see a flop. K29 flop, two spades. I check. Checks to button. He makes it 12. I raise to 25. Bb goes all in for 15. Turn is j. I bet 45. Button raises to 90. I call. River is j. I check. Button jams all in for 200. I call. He turns over... spoiler... jc2c.

An interesting line to take with A 3 of spades leading utg for 5. Is that standard? Seems a pretty weak utg leading hand

At a 6handed table, suited A-wheel cards are very standard UTG opens.

How often do yoy defend a raise, 4 bet, and win by opening utg with A wheel cards? It's a profitable raise long run?

Please rephrase question. How often do I open it UTG? 100%. Vs a 3bet, folding, calling and 4betting are all reasonable depending on stack sizes and opponent tendencies. Definitely a profitable open. I wouldn't be surprised if A2-A5s should be opens UTG in full-ring games.

Hand of the Day

I raise 88 to $4 on the BUT with $657 stack, SB($444) calls, BB folds

Pot: $10

Flop: 877

I bet $5, SB calls

Pot:$19

Turn: 877A

River: 877A9

SB leads for $34.56, I raise to $137.62, SB 3bets to $240.68, I go allin for $425.55 effective, SB calls and

Assuming he folds 99 on the turn and his river 3bet/call shove range is AA,77, 97s,87s, and A7s, my hand, 88, has 50.1% against his range. So by shoving my hand against that range, I make $1.84 in the long run. Of course in the moment, I never expected to see AA, and thought there was one combo of 77 that beats me... But if he calls 99 on the turn, my play is way worse and I only have 36.3%. But if he calls A7o and 78o pre, I have 58.8% even if 99 makes it to the river. Fun hand either way.

This is why suited Ax is profitable

In for freerolls. Good luck buddy.

Wow some crazy hands especially straight flush and AA hands. The boat over boat was definitely surprised he had AA. Was like great flop and how are you going to keep him around lol. Also good work on getting out of that hole.

Wow some crazy hands especially straight flush one n boat over boat. When read flop first thing I thought how you gonna keep him around lol. Also good job on working out of that hole very impressive.
