I have been playing poker for a year recreationally. I decided to start taking the game seriously back in March 2024, and started tracking results since end of May. After getting destroyed for the first few thousand hands, I decided to seek help from a coach. I have had 3 sessions so far.
These are my results from 5NL. You can guess when I hired Red-Tailed.
- Coach is very prepared for every session.
- Coach is well versed in database review tools for leak finding, and finding examples from my own hands of where I could apply new advice.
- A clear format to coaching sessions, rather than random reviews and spot study. I know what we will be studying next at any time.
- Coach gives clear directives and advice, instead of vague suggestions.
- Excellent presentation and prepared materials to study MDA.
- Coach clearly cares about your results and success. I have sent him several decision points where I was confused, and he gets back to me very quickly outside of coaching hours. He also does not mind sessions overrunning.
- Coach can explain difficult topics with easy-to-understand intuition. English is excellent.
The sessions are well worth the price point. I plan to do as many coaching sessions as I can until he tells me to go away
I will update this post once I have put in serious volume and done more coaching sessions.
