I wanted to let you all know he truly loved coaching you guys, whenever you guys improved he'd always be gleefully bragging about it. Reading these posts warms my heart.

Your father was a master at his craft. There are no other coaches that I know of who took a player like me, who was at best a break even player in 2011, to a full time professional today, with his unique training syllabus that he produced along with all the documents he made that went along with his lessons. Today there are some training websites with tons of video lessons, but they jump all over the place. They also use preflop charts, which your father, (which I agree 100%), always said "You can't use a preflop chart because every player's range you are up against in every situation is gonna be different". I believe that is what separates me from other "pros". I see them make bad calls and bad 3bets all the time because they're probably following some chart they memorized (and these are every day full time pros).
It's because of your Father I'm able to wake up every day and go play poker in a casino which is a lot better than going into an office like I used to do (and make much more money). I owe it all to him, and I'm pretty sure that with all the poker training sites and videos out there today, it just wouldn't have been possible without him. He was truly a master and I think about him all the time.
