What game is that ? I haven't calculated std dev manually and I've heard old poker tracker calculated them wrong. Are you sure you didn't insert std dev for 1000 of hands and wr for 100 of hands ?
There is "std dev" in HM but I am not sure it's for 1000 hands or 100 hands.
Can someone help ?

There is literally zero benefit to a poker player not having to risk his bankroll, so you can take that off the table
And in determining the hourly rate, you have to compensate for time invested into finding paying students
And you also have to consider the fact that as more people acquire any given piece of information, the value of that information declines, so in coaching we're basically undermining our own ability to win
All of those things taken into consideration, I would have to insist on an hourly at least 400% my winrate before I'd even consider coaching (which would be an absurdly high number which is why I don't coach)

I'm offering a huge coaching package to micro and small stake HUSNG players. I don't think you will find better value for money than the overall package that I've put together for the small stakes guys to be able to get some coaching.
There are a whole selection of options available to you and I'll run through everything in this post. If there is anything you feel that I don't cover then feel free to ask me.
I play a very small ball style of poker that adapts hugely to the opponent that I find myself infront of. I mainly play and coach reg speed HUSNG's. I find this style helps many attain quite a high average ROI and is very easy to learn.
Coaching offered & Some people that I've helped already:
I'm offering coaching for low stakes HUSNG's anywhere from the $2 - $30 Games with a money back guarantee (for block coaching).
I've coached lots of players and at the end of last year I decided to coach a couple of 2+2 members for free, just to get some references in and show that I can comunicate my lessons in a manor that is not only easy to understand and digest but also translates into results!
The 2+2 members that I was coaching for honest referances and results were Borg7 and 200%.
A little more about Me:
I've played poker for about four years. I mainly played as a prop player on a small euro site and played a mix of 6 max cash games and HUSNG's. The particular site that I played on did not allow Prop's to play HU Cash games which is how I got into HUSNG's in the first place.
I was helped a lot with my game when I was a student of Cogdissonance, I had pretty consistent results before enlisting his help but he ironed out some of my leaks where I played a bit weak in spots.
The small euro site that I was playing on was not poker tracker compatible so I don't have most of my results.
However I have been doing a bankroll challenge on Full Tilt where I run $50 - $5000 starting from the $2 HUSNG's in less than 1000 games. I haven't finished that challenge yet but some of those results are below and I've made a few videos along the way that have really helped past students.
As I don't have a mountain of results to show, I am going to offer very cheap rates for the first ten or so students to build some references. All I ask in return is that you come back to this thread and give an honest opinion of your time with me. The small amount of games that I have on Full Tilt along with all of the students that I have coached should total up a decent sample but in any case I'm still offering this discount as well as a money back guarantee.
As of today, 100% of my students are winning in their respective games, a result that I'm really happy with and I hope some of them will post their results too. Most of my students discuss the strategy that I teach them amongst each other in a private forum and most of them are now friends on Skype and regularly sweat each others play.
Free Videos For My Students
I'll also be regularly making videos of my play which my students get access to, free of charge. There are over 30 videos right now and more constantly being added.
What my students get from me:
1) Access to over 30 videos of either me playing at various stakes or coaching past/ present students in leakfinder videos. A student who only has an hours coaching with me will also get access to these videos and any future private videos that I make for HUSNG's.
2) I charge $45/ hour for leakfinder video reviews. Here we'll go over your play, talk about the opponent type that you're up against and run through optimal lines to exploit his/ her style of play and chat about any spots that you have trouble with. Following the game review, you'll get a video sent to you of our session.
3) I offer a small stakes, heads up, block package that consists of four hours worth of training for a one off fee of $150 (this can also be paid in three installments if you let me know upfront that you want to comit to it). Everyone who has done 4 hours of training with me has become a winner in the small stakes games.
The 4 hour block consists of the same learning plan that I conducted with Borg7 and 200% for free, just to make sure I ironed out any creases. Nothing needed changing and Borg7 as well as 200% are beating the low stake games since completing the course.
4) My students will get access to me via a private forum where I am on hand everyday to answer any questions about trouble spots you may be finding yourself in as well as Skype.
5) Finally, for anyone that books the 4 hour block coaching. If your win rate doesn't dramatically change after 300 games of completing the coaching and you are unhappy/ feel that the coaching really wasn't worth it then I'll give 100% money back gaurentee!
My prices will only be this low for a limited time whilst I build up more references, so if you want to improve you micro/ small stakes HUSNG game, book now.
If you have any further questions then feel free to PM me or email me: brokerstar@tagpoker.co.uk

2+ 2 does not allow anything, coaches in the coaching forum pay to advertise their services and i don't get your point.
Because he's not a mid-high stakes player he's not qualified to coach? Thats like saying someone who has never golfed before and wants golfing lessons might as well skip everyone and only hire Tiger Woods. Maybe that analogy is extreme but you should get my point. He can easily coach the player's hes targeting. It makes no sense for a Micro player to shell out $250/hour for coaching.

I started coaching for free to see if I had what it takes to help people and the results were good. I then took people on as students on a profit share only basis for a while and again the results were good so finally I started charging the cheapest hourly out there to help micro guys get started without breaking the bank.
I play mainly as a prop player on some smaller euro sites and as such there are rules to what I can say about that.
So my point is that I started a free training site so that future students could check me out before commiting to anything, again, if I look ****, don't hire me, there really is no scam?
Think about it, you get to watch over 30 videos of me playing, for free! (a free scam lol) See what you think and even after that you get a moneyback gaurentee if I'm *****. If you decide you like what I'm saying in the vids and think I can help then and only then hire me.
I've tried to go above and beyond most people in terms of letting future students make an informed descision.
If I know how to beat $10 games and can show someone how easy it is (and it really is easy, seriously I could teach a nutless monkey to beat those games, honestly a nutless monkey!) and they understand what I'm saying and replicate that, what's the issue?
As it happens, some of my $2 game students now play up to the $50's $80's and $100's in a few short months following their training.
Sorry if this offends you in anyway, I'm sorry if this seems like a terrible scam and I'm just out to rob people but I assure you, I can help most mirco guys develop a strong mind and skill set for beating the games and building a roll.
Love and hugs
