I am done now with 20 hours of coaching with giova, will keep myself short. Did a few coachings already (activ 500z players), have to say i got the most out of giovas approche. We build flop strategie for all diff boards ip and oop, turn/river barrels, how to identify good bluff combos on rivers/bluffcatchers, flop checkraise, when to deviate from gto, how to play against whales, and so on and on... I am not a 1k NL crusher by any means by now but i do good in all 100NL pools(winning pre rakeback) and very recently even in some 200NL pools. Got a really nice baseline to make it to high stakes one day. All i can say is thank you giova! I know people like graphs more than words, so will post my GG graph from this year 46k hands of 100NL and 4k hands of 200NL. Graph will be shown in BB.

New update to my Mentoring !!!

I am now also offering the option to split the costs of 1 month mentoring across 5 different students. These 5 students will receive the same value that is available in the standard mentoring package. In summary:

- 12 In Depth Play and Explains where I discuss my complete thought processes (more detail than twitch/Youtube/exploitative considerations, etc) and 2-3 recorded study session where I show the optimal and most efficient approach to studying.

- 4 Q&A Sessions where I answer in detail all questions from my mentoring students and also discuss their own discussion around hands that have been posted. These sessions are recorded but students can also feel free to join live.

- Access to mentoring group (Discord), where we discuss hands, mental game, poker theory and where all of the above videos are shared.

- Key study notes and takeaways from my own personal study sessions.

The group mentoring is limited to 5 spots, once the 5 spots are filled we will begin with the sessions.

if you are interested let me know via skype: giovaaa123 or discord: giova9990#4833

Also i created a application form for the 1on1 mentoring. If you are intrested in the program you can fill out the application and we will do a free consultation call and a short footage review to talk about the main areas we will work on in the mentoring program. That is the application form: https://forms.gle/w9YAXK7ijvMBUKBo7

Hi Guys,

I did some work with Giova on a long term basis and was comfortably able to move up from 25nl to 100nl during this period.

Gio's approach is to focus on firstly clearing up and working on GTO fundamentals then building up an exploitative layer on top of this to maximise win rates across the pools. We generally begin by breaking down certain high frequency spots in game using Pio to understand the mechanics of what's going on and extrapolate our own strategy from there.

As stated above Gio is very in tune with the mental side of the game which is just as important as the technical side and sometimes discussing mental game with somebody who has beaten 500 and gone through the ups and down is worth its own weight in gold!

Gio's strength is breaking down complex spots into clear and concise thought processes. His ideas around using "questioning" during game is quite profound and developing this with him will definitely add EV to your game.

If you're looking to brush up on GTO fundamentals and start to move towards more exploitative strategies working with Pio I would recommend reaching out to Gio and discussing which options are available and best suited for you!

Long term coaching review

I've noticed significant improvements in my thought process, technical skills, and mindset throughout 15-hours coaching .
Comparing my game footage from the beginning of the coaching to the present made me to see my progress , and the result of his work.

He is a coach who cares about your growth and tailors the coaching to your specific needs.

Highly recommend

Hello everyone

its time to share my feedback to Giovas Coaching after i worked over 20 hours with him.

before joining the coaching i had a reasonable understanding of how most of the frequent spots work in theory but almost no clue how to spot common leaks in my opponents game and wich are the right exploits to their deviations.
In the time we worked together we took a look at my stats and spotted potential leaks i need to be aware of. While reviewing multiple spots in Pio i learned a lot about whats important to focus on and how to nodelock right.

He has a great knowledge of poker and with his calm approach hes able to teach even complex concepts with ease.

there is still much more to learn but i feel now way more confident in my decisions and have all the tools i need to move up in stakes.

Worked with Gio for a quite a few sessions. His approach is very thought-provoking compared to most other coaches. We can spend 30 minutes on just one texture because Gio wants you to understand the intricacies that can happen with certain combos, and the interaction it has with certain turn / river runouts. To me this offers a different way of learning rather than going through 5 sims in an hour. He challenges you to have a deeper thought process and to have a purpose with each decision you make. Definitely has a great mind for the game and will add value to yours for sure.
