Dropping in to leave an epic vouch for Grayson. I started getting coaching from him a little bit over a year ago and have taken over 35 hours of coaching from him. His exploitative approach to MTTs is simple but effective. He teaches you to think about the game from a very logical standpoint as opposed to most coaches who are advocating "balanced/GTO" approach. I would overcomplicate a lot of my decision making process and he really helped simplify the process into asking myself a few questions to come up with the best decision for every hand. Also, he is a great friend and mentor as well. He's also been through a lot of the struggles that MTT players face and helped me get through some really tough downswings. If you are looking to start crushing MTTs, I would highly recommend Grayson as a coach.

Wanted to comment on Grayson as a coach after a few sessions so far. I play MTTs mostly online in the $5-$33 range. For the record, he didn't ask me to write a review or comment here.

Grayson is professional, and really cares about the progression of his students and improving their thought processes. He's not afraid to tell you what your leaks and mistakes are, but explains everything in a way that's constructive and helpful. After only 3 sessions he has already helped me re-think the game and "un-learn" some of my bad habits. I've had many "ah-ha" moments working with him, and it's rewarding and validating having a professional tell you what you're doing well and what you need to work on. For anyone who is serious about poker and looking to better their MTT game, hiring Grayson is +EV.

I can honestly say that Grayson really helped my game and the results were amazing. Then I quit taking lessons and quit studying and saw a steady decline. I'm trying to slowly get back into the habit of studying a bit everyday and I will reach back out to you soon Grayson as I want to get re-committed and start improving again. Highly recommended!

I did wait for a year to be able to get coached from him , lads I can say he is the REAL DEAL for a matter of fact i just came out 5th in a medium Buy-in game i never ever played before and all the credit goes to him for making me think about the game differently . Grab him while you can . I am writting this review on my own behalf and to be clear he does not know about it nor he did ask me to .

Hey everyone. I started off playing poker 10years ago with friends with no intention of persuing it a decade later. Few years went by just playing cash games not really learning anything just handing money around depending on the luck of the players that day . I then was intoduces to online poker and discoveted a way to lose instant cash with the dream of overnight sucess.If only I had a coach like Grayson back then .would have given me a well deserved whooping. Fast forward couple years down the line and I was introduced to my wife's coach Grayson . So I have given alot of work into my game over the past 8months.wanting to wither validate the past decade and give my self some satisfaction of spending soo much valuable time playing this game . Lessons were awesome , no teacher student dynamic instead a chance to just pick at a great poker mind. Grayson is patient, understanding able to assess what my requirement and my wife's were(fyi I used to be super aggro and she's on the tight side) .I'm glad I had Grayson around for the summer in Vegas he was just a call away always during breaks or right after huge pots that determined the fate of my tournament life .It's so reassuring for confidence to have someone who already knows your game being there to give u his unbiased honest advice. I had the biggest win of my life this summer at the Venetian. More then the money was the emotional and sentiamenatal value of closing a big event and holding a trophy. As we all know if this world . money comes and goes .but somethings stay forever . I would absolutely attribute by win to having Grayson and helping me improve my game and fixing some of the many leaks . We have alot of work left but atleast now I am confident I am in the right hands .
Peace

Hey all,

just came here to explain my experience with Grayson in case you have doubts.
I started playing poker many years ago. I've been doing it with profits for the last 5 years, but playing as recreational. Got my job, and I don't plan on jumping into profesional poker. I just enjoy the game, I enjoy learning about the game, and I get an extra income. I've took several coachings in the past with really good coachs, and that allowed me to keep having a winning game, but always within the 5-50€ stakes (MTT on .es). My problem was that I always felt that my game was very limited, because I was in nowhere's land: Was much better than recreationals, but pros were way better than me and caused me a lot of trouble in the tables. At this point, and after reading all the great reviews about Grayson, decided to contact him.

We've already done 6 hours of coachings and the difference in my game is massive. The very first hours, you might be a bit confused if you've done coachings in the past because his way of explaining things are much different than all the others. Then, the deeper you go, the more you understand his aproach. He is gonna explain you how to have an explotative game, how to deal with every situation, and he will explain it from a really positive and easy-to-learn point of view.

After only 6 hours, my results have improved, but more important, my game has improved to a place that for the first time I was sit on an MTT with several spanish and french pros and felt like it was me causing problems to them instead of the opposite. The spots where before I had lots of doubts now are clear in my mind too.

If you have a certain level of play, but you are looking for that extra mile, Grayson is your man, and I wouldn't hesitate a minute about hiring him!

Just wanted to write a follow up review for how much I have improved at low stakes MTTs since Grayson started coaching me. My first lesson with him was on 2/18/18, and about 30 minutes ago I finished my 40th lesson. I'm hoping to move up in stakes very shortly.

Prior to coaching with Grayson:

During coaching with Grayson:

While not the largest sample size, the proof is in the pudding. It's fair to say a large improvement has been made and it really is all thanks to him. After a brief two week coaching hiatus due to unforeseen illness and a small downswing this past month, the next lesson back I managed to final table 11 tournaments in 1 week. I've never felt more comfortable in my playing ability since I started sessions with him.

As a person, Grayson is just the nuts. He's not just in it for the money. He's a good dude who genuinely wants to see you succeed and will do everything he can to make that happen. During one of my downswings, he decided to switch up our normal coaching schedule to what he thought would better help me improve/see things more clearly. He's a man of contrarian thought and a very astute one at that. He's a skype message away if you ever need some advice on a hand or two, and is always down to sweat some deep runs if he can. It's the little things like this and many more which make him a great coach.

I became interested in seeking out coaching a couple of months ago, and came across Grayson's thread here. Grayson has a way of explaining concepts and opinions that have made me question why I was taking certain actions. he has encouraged me to reduce autopiloting and think more carefully about why I am checking back a flop or running a bluff with a missed draw.

I have enjoyed working with Grayson thus far and he is very easy to get along with. I would encourage anyone considering sending Grayson a message to do so; there's nothing to lose and potentially a lot to gain.

Thanks for the kind words, d5t6y7! Been awesome getting to know you and getting into some fun spot/theoretical debates. Look forward to the year ahead, bud.

To prospective students, I'll be looking to add one person to the roster for the start of the New Year. Post here, DM, or e-mail me at gnichols22@gmail.com if you are interested in setting up a free 15 minute consultation or have any questions, don't hesitate.
