They recently hired ALLinPav as an MTT coach. He plays midstakes MTT's and hilariously is actually winning the last 3 years. The problem is its not because he is good at poker its because he is just a fish on a mega heater, and when I say fish I mean a micro stakes level fish. He babbles on about GTO and studying and shilling all ICmizer and everything but if anyone has ever watched him play its clear he's just a button clicking fish who mainly plays from feel.
His whole poker game revolves around playing weak tight, blinding down to 3bb waiting to pick up hands, while butchering every second hand he plays. (with the occasional mega punt thrown in when he tries to play LAG) He has little idea about basics like SPR let alone ICM and proper pre flop ranges. Its comedy watching him play while arrogantly acting like he's a crusher. That's all cool until he's taking peoples money to 'coach' them while being unqualified. I would have expected a credible place like Upswing to have better standards. Clearly not. Some proof. Mind you, two years ago he declared on Joeys podcast that he was a better MTT player than Doug Polk. Let you be the judge of that.
He folds.
"I might take 99" lol
Flats flop lol. Even a micro fish knows to jam flop with that SPR.
Folds turn.
"He only has value there I don't have the equity" LOL
lol
Crapping his pants
Nice fold bro
"What value hands are you raising there?"
Oh
This one was epic. 770k up top here and commits ICM suicide by jamming
"because villain has 3bet me 3 times previously"
GTO call
Pavs special 4d poker strategy of raising half his stack so he can fold if the remaining action gets too hot!
"Im calling, he might have diamonds"
Elite trapping
"Im going to flat because I don't have a 3bet range vs chip leader here"
Dat river sizing and fold.
More trapping
Lets play kK multi way because its KK!!. Typical fish trapping.
There are lots of other classics like XR bluffing the chip leader off a 10bb stack or folding KQs off 5bb in bb vs bu in a turbo, but you get the idea. This dude is literally one of the worst poker players I have ever seen and he's a coach.
