Hey 2+2,
I decided to supplement my grind with a coaching offer on here.
Having played poker professionally for the past 3 years and locking in excess of million hands online,
I believe I hold value to students wishing to elevate their game in todays cash game NLHE environment.
My main games are on partypoker.
I also bring live poker experience having played the 5 10 20 straddle games in vegas
and looking to play quite frequently.

Results from Jan 2020 - 2022:
Most of my volume used to be on the partypoker 200 fastforward games under the SN " Knaxis ".
With the removal of the leader boards though I moved to 500NL and focused more on grinding a win rate.
My rake back roughly equals to 75% ( diamond club and affiliates ).

I do understand that these days its easy to fake results, for any potential student interested in booking sessions I can provide
cashier audits on party poker to confirm these results are real ( message me for those )

My coaching style is heavily theory oriented and mostly involves the knowledge gained from Pio Solver sims and training your intuition to play closer to optimum.



I expect some preparation before the start of a session.

Endorsed Coaching formats are:

• Pre selected hand history reviews ( this is the one I recommend )
• Database/HUD Stat analysis and filtering of fundamental issues in hands
• Live Play Footage Reviews
• Pio Solver exploration of a certain spot ( aka BvB SRP, SB vs BTN 3 bet Pot )
• Live Poker HH Review
• How to apply theory to live poker games

Rates are:
150$ / 1 hour
600$/ 5 hour package


To keep the questions asked over PM low, here is a small FAQ:

• I do not offer CFP as of this moment
• No negotiating over the hourly price possible
• My Coaching $ hourly is not correlated to my grind $ hourly, as I aim to coach mostly outside of my grind schedules and
  I do enjoy doing it on the side
• Please go over the endorsed coaching formats before asking how I would
  be approaching the sessions
• Coachings are being held on Zoom and recordings will be sent to you within a day
• If you want to cancel/reschedule a booked session please do so at least 12 hours
  before the session.
  I've had a couple of no shows and as a result of this I need to charge half of the sessions
  value in case it happens ( in form of hours in the package or deduction of a single hour session ).
  

Contact me for coaching scheduling, please no timewasters, reasonable questions are welcome:

This was my coach for a long time and hes extremely intelligent, he knows all theory and made me a huge winner in 500ff/500z and playing 1knl-2.5knl reg tables with a solid winrate.

Party:





Recently purged my stars DB since I started playing there again this month so cant post those unfortunately, had 5bb 100z and 3bb 200z though. Not even worth posting this 0 sample since I got back but I will anyway haha.

I work a full-time job and play 50 Zoom semi recreationally.

I tried a coaching package with Kanaxis early this year when I was struggling as a marginal winner.

He even took time out of his day to review my database and present my leaks to me in the most efficient way and also showed me the hands I was struggling with.

After those five sessions, my win rate increased to 5bb and I managed to put together a small roll to play in home games and shot take at my local casinos 200nl (with help from my jobs income).

thx for the feedback.
I've sold a good amount of hours trough this thread, thx for all the interest!
I do appreciate any feedback you guys could throw in here if possible.

Also I'm gonna keep updating this thread with my monthly results for full transparency

heres august



A small reminder that I am the only coach on here who offers to show winning receipts on partypoker for full transparency, feel free to ask per PM.

Hello, and sry that I can't find the password for my the other account.
I am an NL50 blitz break even player hoping to get better.1 week ago I bought a pack of 5 hours lessons from Kanaxis Unfortunately, my experience with this coach was not very good from the beginning after the fifth hour and the conversations that took place after the lessons I am 100 % convinced of my initial impression. My experience with him is terrible.According to the facts I have, I can't judge whether he is another "scam" teacher or just a good player, but a very weak teacher.
This price at which he teaches really turned out to be too good to be true. I had plans to take at least 25-30 hours of lessons at this price because I thought that at this price for a player like him is something "unique" and should not be missed..
My plan was to initially take 5 lessons from him to find my biggest leaks and then try with theory and practical / exploitative strategy to fix 2 or 3 of them. At the beginning I explained to him that I do not want to study with pio and that I prefer precise practical advice, an old fashion way of learning poker on a given problem, I also tell him that poker is my hobby, not a profession I want to take lessons like shortcuts of knowledge gained over a lot of pio / theory study time. I explain to him what I want and I even tell him something like, "I want you to imagine in these problematic spots that I'm a bot and he just has to put the code in me, ..direct advice... I tell him very clearly that I am not interested in fixing my preflop game and other very small problems, we'll leave that for later. I tell him that I want to focus on my problem one by one and that all this strategy, theory and practical advice should apply to my NL50 blitz game. Finally I ask him if he can do what I want... and tell him when he finds a problem in my game he will "cure" the way I want. In the first session, when he "hunted" for leaks, he made his first serious amateur mistake. He just used his normal in-game hud, no filters, no nothing...I had sent him 200k hands, but he made the whole leakfinder lesson. from a hud which is limited to 20k hands and all notes and suggestions from him were based on those 20k hands. In the next lesson he still spends time retelling pio how to play against a perfect player / strategy which he knows very well is not the most profitable. The next video he sends me is with 2 lines and 20 words of notes.... waste of time... although I wanted in this video to focus on one topic, again this is not the case.. after each lesson I remind him what I want from him, but he does what he wants.. contrary to what we talked about before paying him. I tell him to stop focusing on reviewing hands that are obviously played in tilt moments and that is on a completely different subject.
Although I warned him before that not to waste time watching my preflop game he did. We talked first about fixing the most important leaks, he decides that the first problem to fix is my XR game. XR situations for which he didn't even write as a problem in the previous lessons. ( It must be his favorite topic and he feels strong about it NOOOOOO lol ) In this video I asked him to see the turn and the river, cuz in the first video we found out that my problems are on the turn and the river But he doesn't say a word about my game on the river and very little about my game on the turn. Again he teaches me to play vs a perfect player, no pio notes, no exploitation play, nothing I ask.. In general, I did not want this process to develop as if we were both learning together like study partners. I asked to be taught by a professor. ( he is not )
After 3rd lessons and after another reminder that what he is doing is not what I want, he tells me that what I want is impossible (why didn't he tell me before I paid him?) He tells me to stop wasting his time with these impossible asks (his time is paid for something I don't want, if anyone wastes their time and money in this situation, it is me)Then we talk about the fact that it is possible and that it is completely realistic to "transfer" knowledge accumulation over years in a very short time. Then he said yes, but in poker it wasn't possible... Then I sent him a video of Uri Peleg showing how in 15 min. he can teach knowledge learned for hundreds of hours. I gave him a few more examples like the Doug Hu course and more.. and then Hallelujah he again agreed with me.... but here he says something strange about what I want needed a lot more money and did I know how much money take those coaches I give as an example ( WHY DID HE NOT TELL THIS BEFORE WE BEGAN SCAMMER ALERT ) However, he apologizes to me and says that in the next lesson he will do what I want
Then we agreed again that we will do it my way ( he must understand what I want now YA?! ) and he told me to ask him as much as I want about my next leak. And he will answer me the way I want. Although we had already lost 2 of 3 hours, I had hoped that things would get better.
After the 4th video things are already out of control, he has the audacity to tell me that the video he made is trash...
When I told him that I am not satisfied and that 3/4 videos are a waste of time, he answers that he is aware of that, but there is nothing he can do?!?!

The 5th last video sent it to me today
I ask him if there are any notes from the video we talked about, he says there are 0 notes.. but this time the chat doesn't start with the saying that the video is trash, but says that it's very good.
This is hard to believe, but I am telling him that i'll rewatch last few videos and the last one and rethink the whole situation I also tell him that I thought to describe the situation in his 2 + 2 ad so that other people know my experience with him, and if this time the video is very bad once again I will write everything I write now...
He immediately responded very aggressively that he might upload my lessons online as a free sample for other to learn ( learn what LOL )
The same lessons he tells himself how bad they are...
Then he threatens me that he will tell the truth on his part .. so that's why I didn't watch the last video, I just decided to write this **** here so that at least to understand what the truth is, he didn't tell me.. I look forward to that
There was almost no use of these lessons
I strongly do not recommend his coaching , but if you want a paid fellow student with whom to study together, from whom you will not receive ready answers and advice it's your man

I can upload the whole skype conversations in video format.
TDLR:
Lots of lost time and money and I say this in the hope that there will be no more "victims"
The OP is another coach scammer or good player and terrible teacher.

I will not read the whole msg, but I will respond to negative feedback, here's my side of the story including skype conversations:

student bought a 5 hour package, he didn't want to be present during the coaching's, the coaching style would be in video format and the student wanted
a heavy emphasis on me writing down everything ( which is what I did, the file has at least 100 paragraphs )

1st hour is a full database review, pointing out ( and with written down leaks )
all current leaks.

this is the reaction to the 1st vid




everything is ok here, we move on to the next 2nd hour vid which is a continuation of a leak finder, reaction as follows:





all good here, the 3rd video covers this:



his reaction to the video is as follows:



student falls into a rage and uses offensive language, so I get annoyed and respond unprofessionally, which I apologize for











so in conclusion the student expected to fix his leak within 10 minutes with the use of a " golden rule " , also the videos created are low quality compared to the courses that sell for 1000 USD per person and address the mass of people

this low quality video could've been summed up to 10 minutes because
Pio solver is useless in his games and he doesn't want to see it, I noted this
feedback and refrained from using Pio solver again

I get annoyed reading his messages and his stance on poker and what he thinks is owed in this service, he expects to be spoon-fed and his leaks to be fixed within 10 minutes, a refund is out of question for the time I used up dealing with him on skype.

the conversation continues and we move onto vid 5









Vid 5 is a slow theory session with practical hand examples on hands villain is misplaying in the check raise line ( again villain insists on it not being a leak )
I can assure you check raise is not my expertise, other students who buy the database review can attest for this, when I run these I look for ANY possible leak and have done plenty of other leak busters/leak finders .

Student also insists on not having preflop leaks and me not mentioning it, when we saw a clear heavy underdefended BB vs opens ( I didn't mention them after vid 1 nor wasted any time on preflop, not a single second )

I didn't need to wait for feedback on video 5, as the arrangement ended here but I will leave it to the public with the copy paste of this full skype conversation to rate who is behaving inappropriately here. I will not let people treat me like this.




this is the full conversation without any hidden messages

if all the screenshots can be moved to " transaction feedback and disputes " for this dispute would be nice, as I am defending myself here against allegations of being a scammer.

Once again his post confirms that it is very difficult for him to read in order to understand what is required of him and in the current case, from what am I complaining..
The first 5 hours I want him to discover my big problems and then to have sessions together! If you see his style of writing notes and his writing advice you will laugh a lot.. useless.. useless..
These pics from skype do not reflect our whole conversation, he very conveniently misses the moments when he admits that he can't do what I want and that what he gives me is trash good for nothing...
It is a complete lie that I fall into a rage and attack him with offensive language, where does he see that ??? just the opposite, I think I was very polite.. for the situation I found myself in, despite his useleness, I tried to behave completely civilized.
I never said one word about a refund ... I know that you can't get your money back ...from coaching scams.. this is a golden rule
I just want to say what happened between him and me, so anyone who wants to take lessons from him to have one more opinion and to draw their own conclusions about him..

Here is the link to the WHOLE conversation > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiV9CUVrhUs

Hey everyone,

This is my first 2+2 post ever, usually I’m just working on my own game and reflecting so I’ve never felt the need to use this forum.

This thread was brought to my attention from Kanaxis as he wanted to hear my judgement of the situation.

To get some perspective of who I am, I have been Kanaxis student since 2015, and I’ve had over 200 coaching sessions with Kanaxis. I started at 2nl and now I play up to 500nl and I play 1k when the games are good.

Kanaxis coaching is a very theory based style which will teach you how to play textbook poker which is what you need to beat these current games. Poker has become much harder and what his coaching taught me is that I can’t just look for ‘an instant fix’ and instead I need to be working on every single small part of my game and it all adds up to a win rate l. I have asked Kanaxis previously if he had any ‘exploit’ or major things which he can give me and we have talked for many many hours and I can’t to the conclusion that what I was looking for didn’t exist.

Fast forward 200 hours or coaching later, I’m now successfully beating poker at some pretty remarkable win rates. I sometimes run into Kanaxis in my games and I have no issues playing vs him.

From what I can take from the situation above, the student was looking for cheat codes and exploits to poker when they don’t exist. I’ve been part of many coaching groups and I’ve paid for coaching with many pros and I can say nobody was as good value as Kanaxis. There was a lesson where he was teaching me a specific spot and we spent over 8 hours and I only paid for a 1 hour session. We went over every combo and ran a sim to prove me wrong if I ever had my doubts.

I’m just here to confirm that Kanaxis coaching is 100% worth it in my opinion and I wouldn’t of made it anywhere close to 500-1k without his help. I was stuck looking for some kind of exploit, when all I needed was to brush up on every single spot and build a win rate from not having leaks.

If anyone needs to verify this message, just send me a message on 2+2, my screen name on Stars and Party is pretty well known and I can prove all my win rates.

TLR - Kanaxis student for many years, solid coach, price is very good value for money.

To be honest mate, after reading all of the logs and pictures I would say you don’t have what it takes to make it in poker. You are very impulsive and I would say you seem low IQ. You are looking for some ‘poker detox’ major exploit stuff when what you really need is to learn how to properly play poker. Most of these red liners post one graph and then never see success again. Kanaxis has been beating the games consistently for years, and for you to think you know better than him you sound like a dork.

I went from 2nl to 1knl with Kanaxis coaching fwiw.

Also asking him to do videos for you when he could get paid 1k a video from run it once and then moaning afterwards just shows you’re a piece of sh**. The way you spoke to Kanaxis is ridiculous, I would of just blocked you myself.

TLDR - Original poster is in a delusion, I’ve had over 200 paid coaching with Kanaxis and I’ve never felt scammed or that it wasn’t a good value for money.

I expect more white knight type of users to come and post like this
He is part of BTS community and he probably told them to come here and defend him.
I have no intention of engaging in a conversation with them or to cont. wasting time with the "coach".. everyone is free to see both sides and make desicions .. I lost enough time / nerves and money ..

You lost $400 and you’re the most irritable person ever from what I can see. Message me and I’ll send you $400 just to make a point, it’s pocket change to me

You seem to act exactly like the "coach" . Is this a coincidence? ( do not think so )
For the science guys, let's see if this new account white knigher or siamese twin will refund me ( do not think so )
btc address > bc1qe6uak54d5220qkrrapxcj57xfzn3mclx0uymd5

thx for this, should've posted it in your first post, would've saved me all the hassle of taking 15 screenshots .




here's a sneak peek of the leak finder doc, 20% of the notes, I don't think they turned out that bad?
user8 is definitely an interesting person, the use of language after vid 3
is quite offensive imo but ill leave it to the public to decide how he presents
himself during the whole conversation.
That said I think I did a good job in the coaching's, I do welcome negative feedback but calling me a scammer is simply defamation, I've spent at least 7 hours on this person and regs play me at 500 fastforward daily on partypoker ( easy vouch for this, I show up in the games quite often )


I will also post an " old " receipt of my winnings, Party poker updated their client recently and I am not able to show my net deposits anymore, thankfully a student screened me before buying a session and I was able to provide him this:


old SN is Knaxis, new one MottoIsMyLotto (recent mandatory SN update on party poker ), you can shark scope both SNs I don't play tournaments.

btw at the end of the skype conversation, he said he won't lie here, but he already told a few lies.. The guy seems to be a not good and honest person imo / terrible / scammer coach.. but probably a good player... Unfortunately this is very common, the first time for me.. I hope to be last..


"You lost $400 and you’re the most irritable person ever from what I can see. Message me and I’ll send you $400 just to make a point, it’s pocket change to me " Still waiting.. hahahaha

edit:
Just for the record the name of the coach who cont. to lying and imperative the situation in a very interesting way. In my opinion he scam me intentionally or not is ... If someone google his name and had the same problems, please post in this thread so no other victims of his useless coaching hire him. I will create a blog post and youtube video about whole this situation to help for this too
I think there is nothing more to add on the topic.

I am thankful for you posting the full skype convo, I never had any intention to tell any lies and my intention from the start was to reveal our full convo ( again you posted the full vid so thx for that ) and it is now in the open for the public to decide who is behaving inappropriately .

My real life name is out in the open, don't worry, I don't do anything to conceal it in fact anyone who gets a recording of a zoom session can see it, no issues here. Although online censorship is a thing, so ill ask the mods to edit that post.

I have reasonable suspicion that you were getting the recordings to sell on to other people, and now you’re doxing in public forums, I will make sure to report this to the mods and get you banned.

You are a scammer sir

Stop embarrassing yourself..
This is so obvious situation of "jekyll and hyde" or "good cop, bad cop" played by one person.. its funny.

Waiting for the money?!! hahaha

Disgusting..

I dont see a scam here? I had a lot of kanaxis coaching a year ago and never had any issues

I've known Kanaxis for around 4 years, we were both students together and stayed in touch ever since. This dude is a hard working poker player who clearly dedicated a ton to the game and has put in all the right steps to get himself to where he is now. Always impressed when we discuss poker, very high level of knowledge and I myself am interested in getting some coaching from the kid in the future.

SammyR, you wanted coaching from Kanaxis who is a theory based player, who's spent 1000s of hours using solvers correctly to develop a strong understanding of the game. Instead of letting him coach you and help you improve your game, you decided to set a bunch of rules that you thought were correct. Automatically that's gonna downgrade the level of coaching you received, if you ask someone to teach you without solvers, the level of coaching is automatically gonna drop.

Would you ask someone to teach you boxing but say that you only want to spar and do ring work? If you asked me to coach you but not study any solvers, I'd need to have a serious, long discussion with you about basic poker theory. Kanaxis accommodated you by trying to do these sessions the way you wanted, even though it totally goes against the way he coaches and you didn't think it was to the standard you wanted which is fair enough. To come here and write this negative review I think is really crossing the line.

To get good at poker takes 1000s of hours of hard work, it's impossible for someone to teach with all these boundaries you've set, you say you've watched these courses, you like the way they teach you but you're currently breaking even at 50 blitz. I'd recommend for you to open your mind more and if you need help with improving at poker, get help. Kanaxis has climbed through the ranks and is posting HUGE years, this kid is killing them out there. I remember playing 50z with him way back. You ask the guy for coaching, then you let him coach you and show you how to improve.

Kanaxis did a really good thing to try and teach you the way you wanted. I wouldn't have dealt with that, you gotta realise that there's a lot more to this game than you currently know and that the guys who have already been where you are, battled and climbed putting in thousands of hours to get to the top, these guys know better than you. If you come in as a student, you gotta leave the ego at the door and let the man do his job.

Writing a negative review on this, it's a bad move, no doubt. I can vouch for kanaxis being a great teacher from spending 100s of hours studying with him. You set rules and boundaries that held him back from being able to improve your game but he still tried anyway. There's 10000s of people like this in poker who have very basic knowledge yet will argue with very good, proven players. The way you've structured your review and the things you've said are harsh, it's clear to me that the issue is with the way you went about this. You don't pay a Tennis coach to teach you and tell him he needs to make videos for you because you never wanna hold a racket or step on court. You let the dude do his job. You owe Kanaxis a big apology because you're messing with the kids money and reputation when he tried to do everything he can to accommodate you.

There's not going to be many "golden rules" for poker. There is a lot of mixing at equilibrium. If you have incentive to go one way or the other for an action and do it pure then you should have a reasonable amount of hands/information on your opponent. The student stated also that there are many lessons/video courses online that are available that do this--well if that is the case, then buy those courses?

I'd say poker is anything but a simple game fwiw. It looks like Kanaxis was very patient with you. The only notes I see from the coaching lesson seem reasonable (the .txt file/leaks). Postflop stuff is really hard to generalize beyond some very basic statements. Basically, looks like Kanaxis did a good job being patient and answering your questions from the POV of your youtube video. I'm not entirely sure what you expected from the coaching, but you're not going to find a coach that is just going to be able to give you the "golden rules" you're looking for---because they don't really exist. Saying, "fold 72o utg" as an example of a golden rule is a pretty bad analogy when you're likely looking for mostly postflop advice. Also you state somewhere that you didn't want to fix your preflop leaks which I don't understand.

I don't know guys
I looked here at the threads opened by Kanaxis and it seems the boy is quite toxic and has a previous history of some sort of cheating and attacking people in the same way with another user with zero posts.
I've played a lot with him while there were still leaderboards on NL100 and NL200. The boy did not know what he was doing, no way he was the winner at the games. No way he has hundreds of hours in the lab.. he was a very, very bad regular. I'm really surprised by the graphics he posts, that he has a winning green line at all, probably the removal of the leaderboards has worked well for him. Just my 2cents

So it must tilt you to see his £200,000 withdrawals from party I assume

fellow regular,
you are welcome to sit me at 500NL on party, Im happy to play any regular of your sorts, you know my SN maybe we can arrange a heads up? our rakeback is quite high so I wouldnt worry about anything lmk if you are in for an arrangement, I dont know what im doing after all should be free money to you with 80% rakeback

also can you tell me what do u mean by " cheating "?

Hey, everyone's different right, Kanaxis is a crazy dude, I've always got along with him personally. He's always helped me out with anything, given good advice, I haven't had a problem with him at all, I guess we speak 2 or 3 times a week. I don't know about this history of cheating, that's the first time I've heard of that.

What I will say is, the first time I met Kanaxis around 4 years ago, the kid had just spent 3 months straight in the lab putting them hours into pio nonstop. He's been putting up sick results all the time I've known him and especially the last couple years, it seems like he's really building a good life due to his success. I remember him mentioning the leaderboard race and how he was making a lot of money by winning it every day/week. volume, volume, volume etc.

We used to get our hands reviewed by coaches and he's always been at a very high level. Studying with him is really impressive, he breaks down how GTO strategies work at their core in a way I haven't seen before and makes it very easy to learn complex theory. I've been coached by a lot of really damn good players, I'd say to save 5 hands and have an hour reviewing them with him and I'm sure anyone would be impressed. $90/hr is damn cheap for that high level coaching, I think it's a great opportunity to learn from a very good player. I'll be booking something myself at that price.
