You are wondering why I am questioning your ability to beat poker when you are selling coaching packages on 2+2?
There are many different ways to sheer a sheep, but some of the stuff I have seen you post in the LLSNL is just downright awful. I have felt this way for a long time regarding your posts.
I only recently decided to post in your thread in light of you
stealing material from BalugaWhale and passing it off as your own.
The fact that 2+2 even allows you to continue selling your "coaching" services is downright insane to me, but just like you, anything to make an easy buck.
Your hours are of interest to me because I (or squid face) have played thousands, of thousands of hours combined and not seen you once in a casino. You would think someone whom is on 2+2, advertising themself as an expert of something would occasionally participate in the field they pronounce them self an expert. I feel it necessary to point this out, along with the fact that you lazily steal material from people and pass it out as your own. Had you included this in your original post I would not have posted anything because you are honest and upfront. Anyone whom chooses to purchase your services is doing so with all the information readily available.
You have not done that, so I feel as though you are misleading the public and taking advantage of people too naive to realize that you are not only a poor poker coach, but a thief as well.

As for play time and other personal questions that one may want to ask, simply email me from my website and we can discuss any items necessary for you to move forward with coaching.
I will discuss my personal questions about you here, in the open where everyone can see.

The real issue here it seems would be a case of a couple of random players deciding to discredit me as a coach due to the fact that I am not out at the Bellagio every day like I used to be. This idea alone just shows that the person complaining of this knows nothing about poker coaching.
I am not some random person that just created a 2+2 account last week.
Squid Face has been in Vegas for about a decade and playing professionally for a long time and is easily one of the best players at his level.
I have only been in Vegas for about a year and a half (still have never seen you) but played professionally since I was old enough to play live. I have a top tier winrate over a huge sample at the levels you claim to coach and if you went around Vegas and asked people who actually leave the house to play poker instead of ripping people off on skype all day, you would hear people vouch for my game. Not to mention I have documented just about my entire career in a 3 year thread in PG&C.
We are not "random players". I would also like to point out that neither one of us coach. I am not attempting to slander you for personal benefit or anything else. You are a liar and a thief with a rudimentary understanding of the game you claim to be an expert of.

If David Sklansky writes a new book, should we trash can the book because we do not see him at the tables every day? Its an absurd thought, which again makes me wonder of the agenda that is going on here. Any player who spends a majority of his time at any one location, and does not have the ability to talk long hours with players from all over the world, will have tunnel vision due to the finite box that the player plays in every day. I have to know how to train a player at Crown Australia, Maryland Live, ACF London and everywhere in between. I cannot gain this knowledge by playing at the Aria every day.
You keep using these extremes. I do not expect you to be the Aria for 50 hours a week grinding it out because you can make such easy money sitting at home copy and pasting BalugaWhale's written work.
I have
never seen you play anywhere. The combination of that, combined with your lol strat posts I see you make in LLSNL makes me question you.
Do you have any idea how much poker has changed in recent years? If you are not currently in the games (at Crown Australia, Maryland Live, ACF London and everywhere in between) you have no idea how to coach people that are playing at Crown Australia, Maryland Live, ACF London and everywhere in between.
You play nowhere and are advertising yourself as the No Limit expert that doesn't even play no limit. Do you not see how one could have a problem with that?

I am far too busy to get involved with trolling questions such as these between persons who clearly are not in the market for a coach. It serves no purpose but to clutter the thread. I do not know you squid face, nor RobFarha and honestly have no idea why you take the time to attempt to taint and discredit me.
You can listen to a few players complaining they dont see me playing (and I really dont know if they even know me if they see me) or you can listen to what the WSOP 4 max bracelet winner (Justin Oliver) said of my coaching last year in the last 3 minutes of this interview. You be the judge as to what is worthy of giving your attention to.

I would dismiss any comments from others who are clearly just trolling my thread.
Again - this is a ridiculous example of you using something that proves nothing.
Of course I do not blame you for including this guy in your OP as of course it looks good for your coaching business (look guys, my students win bracelets!).
But to cite one amateur player who runs super hot for a day or two and wins a bracelet as proof of your coaching prowess is ridiculous and I think you know that.
What about people who's students lose flips in tournaments and don't get to be as fortunate as Justin? Does that make their coach bad? No, it doesnt, of course not. Tournaments produce massive variance. I have no idea who Justin Oliver is and this is certainly no knock on him, but winning a tournament does not make you a good player and in turn does not make you a good coach.
I would assume you coached this guy for full ring cash at 100bb+ so this is basically a totally different form of poker.
Also Bill, just incase you didn't know, the less people at the table, the more variance there is, by a lot.
I am not trolling your thread. I am providing information that you
forgot to include in your OP, like you play live once every two years and stole from BalugaWhale.
Once again, I have literally nothing to gain from this as I don't coach nor do I want to. I just find it really suspect that you don't play, you post horrible advice and you steal stuff to present as your own and feel as though the public needs to know that. That's why I posted.
Had you been honest with your potential consumers, no posts from me.
