Hey guys!

My real name’s Brad and my main screenname is Viktor Hovland (WSOP). I’ve been playing online cash games full time for nearly a decade. I’ve been able to stay competitive and successfully evolve in the games while financially supporting myself living in one of the more expensive countries in the world. I’m from Ontario, Canada so I currently play the majority of my volume on WSOP (GG Ontario) and BetMGM (PartyPoker). I mix my volume between 1/2, 2/5, and the odd 5/10 table. Before the switch to the Ontario fenced pool, I played most of my volume at the same stakes on Bodog and GG.

I also did a coaching stint back in 2017, and I’ve decided to return to coaching as I feel I have a lot to offer students again. I bring what I believe to be one of the most important concepts to the games of my students: Understanding. The ability to understand what you're trying to accomplish in each hand is of the utmost importance, and boosts other areas of your game such as confidence and motivation. As a player who started at the very bottom playing 2NL back in 2011, I can say that I’ve experienced the vast majority of ups and downs along my path to climbing the stakes and making a living playing poker. It's one that I simply couldn't have done alone and there are many great players and friends who contributed to my progress. I want to do the same for any player out there who is willing to work hard, dive into their game, and stick with it through the best and the worst. So if you're thinking about hiring a coach, I promise you my full dedication to improving your game for today's online climate in 2023!

What I'm Offering

To help build momentum in my coaching practice, for the first 5 students who purchase a minimum of one hour, I'm offering a preflop database analysis, or a ~30 minute video of your footage to review, so that I have some insight about your individual game prior to our first session. As we work together, new concepts and strategies will emerge and create tangents of content for us to cover in depth. We will create a solid foundation to direct your study that is based on your game and your needs as a player. This way we will give you the best and fastest approach to improving your game, gaining a higher winrate, and moving up in stakes!

Any student that purchases an hour or more of coaching with me will get full access to my Discord server indefinitely, which includes the following:

• A hand history review channel where I will actively review students’ HHs

• The ability to sweat me when I stream my sessions live

• Access to my private Youtube DB of session recordings (with and without commentary)

• A place to talk strategy or just chat with me and other students

• I’m active on Discord 24/7 and reply to messages in a very timely manner

Pricing

My rate is $100 USD/hr, or $400 for a 5h package. I'm also willing to negotiate pricing for those playing 25nl or lower.

I accept cryptocurrency, PayPal, or (for Canadians) EFT Bank Transfer.

Feel free to add me on Discord @ 'bagofpucks' or PM me here with any questions you have.

Thanks for reading!

Also, here are some references I received when I was coaching previously:

I've known Brad for several years and have worked with him on his poker game extensively during that time. He's a rock solid player who has a lot to offer potential students.

He also has longevity in this game, consistently supporting himself through poker for many years. This is quite rare and something you definitely want to look for in a coach.

Perhaps most importantly, he is trustworthy and transparent. He's got a professional approach to life and poker and is a man of his word.

Sesssions with him will surely be quite +EV, especially for those in Ontario pools or those playing small stakes looking to break into >100nl.

Thanks for posting this! I really appreciate it and especially from such a high level coach who ran one of the most successful coaching groups and ad in this forum! I'd be silly not to shamelessly talk about the seriously high calibre of players you've coached in the past, and how privileged I am to have gotten to learn from you over the years.

And to boot, I binked a 13k BBJ yesterday! So if you want to learn how to run extremely good, I'm your guy
