I'm just genuinely curious. If you had some results from players who came to you already doing decent at NL50-200 (maybe even breaking even but making solid $ at rakeback) and now are playing NL200-NL600 with good results, you'd be able to get some solid NL50-NL200 players signing up with you regularly IMO.
Good question. Actually most of my students are NL50 - NL400. I don't know everybody who makes comments btw! But the ones who take 1-1 coaching are 99,9% NL 50 + .
I don't recommend 1-1 coaching in most cases for people who play below NL50 and have rejected quite a few players when i don't think its a good investment for them.
(Some of those who buy courses play lower as well, which is fine. If you play lower high quality courses are the way to go. But i don't know everybody in person)
Also if you read through the thread, you will find more NL 200+, but ofc, its a very long thread
.
Other students:
I have some students from pokerstrategy as well. Often they don't post much and i don't ask students to post graphs (have done so 2 times so far) here.
I should be more proactive in this matter.
Important / Get to know others:
If you as a visitor care about meeting me in person / getting to know other students, that's always possible.
I've for example talked about one of my best students, who i taught everything from NL5 (=busto donk) to crushing NL 2000 (Heads Up). Couple months ago he was the runner-up of the Irish Poker Open ("Thomas Beer" if you care to search).
I've never asked him to post in this thread, like a few others. I probably should. Its not because i'm so humble
, its just because i didn't bother.
Why? Coaching is not my source of income. I love doing it, it is fun and very rewarding to read the thank you emails. It makes some money, but it's not that i'm in great need of students.
I'll take every new student who is motivated.

Anyways, one other student, known as "Trader" on pokerstrategy was a winning player at NL50/100 and his winrate increased over a 100k+ sample.
He had the same questions like you. He's gonna join for skiing (starts in 2 days, i'm about to board my plane to Europe). Tom and other friends will join and we're gonna have a fun time!
One other example of a successful student is the 2+2 Mod "Scipio". I'll ask him on skype to drop a comment. He posted before in the thread though.
"Magne87" , very famous on donkr knows my poker game probably better than anybody else. We've moved up together from NL200 - NL5000.
He's not a 2p2 superstar, but oh well.
He does a podcast on donkr and said that i've been the "biggest help to his poker game". That goes both ways in this case.
All i wanna say is that those who are searching genuinely will find enough info to get a satisfying answer. And if not, the world is big, there are many other coaches you can look out for.
Ok, so far so good. Let me know if i can help you with anything else!
