That’s fair, but it’s also only out of a 250k hand sample.
Anyway, the point of higher WR at 8 bb rather than 5 is well taken and I assume you’re fairly knowledgeable on this type of math. I assume WR’s at micros are in general much higher if you have an idea of what is up though.

I’m just not sure what the overall thrust of the thread is.

i think ur a nice guy but ppl bashing is to be expected, the thread is cringey

Different stakes ask for different answers in poker. Winning in micros is different than winning in low stakes.

I think the route to take when a lot of people seem to disagree with your advice in a given situation is ask the people who are posting different advice to go into more detail of their explanation in that specific thread. Not just open up a blanket general post of "Why don't people agree with me?" thread.

I've asked a lot of questions since starting to post on here regularly a number of months ago and people have been quite open to then dive deeper into their reasoning behind their answers. Sometimes I still like my own line of thinking, but most times the back and forth really helps to open up my own line of thinking and ultimately makes me a bit better of a player. Which is why I post on here in the first place.

What do you want us to say? "Surprise! We're actually gaslighting you! This is a psyop by the regs at your local cardroom to make you doubt your poker ability!"

With all due respect, winning at poker doesn't make you good at poker. This is especially true at the very lowest stakes.

I don't think I'm that good at poker but I'm better than my opponents at my stakes (currently, at least). I'm also sure people who won at my stakes would disagree with me about a lot of things...even if my wr's much higher but that doesn't make them wrong or me right about everything we do.

lmao

Maybe a bit
I mostly got what I wanted to know from some of the serious replies.

Gotta say I am a bit surprised to see you are offering coaching 5 days after posting this thread, but I hope it works out for you.

In my opinion 2NL can be crushed after some days of coaching by everyone who has some knowledge of playing cards. Its just a clownshow.
The difference between 2NL and 5NL is bigger IMO then the difference between 5NL and 50NL.
So being a winning player at 2NL does not show if you are a reasonable pokerplayer.
Beat 5NL over at least 100k hands with a winrate of 5bb+ then you can say you are a winning microstakes player.
just my opinion...

LOL you’re not kidding

I thought the coaching was just a joke. I see that it's not now. Yeah GL with all that.

Don't worry, I think most of you are jokes too

Youve indicated in your coaching thread you are playing 5z now. Any chance we can see a graph?

Your 2z graphs for 2021 indicate youve only played 10k hands this year, which is like 1k a month. Surely you're putting in more volume?

in their defense, the coaching advert page is pretty upfront about results

Are you stalking me?
You should've noticed I'm a live player then.

Sure I'll share my 5NL stats
I've actually only played 5500 hands in the last month or so, haven't played online much this year.
But since we're going into another lockdown, I'm picking online up again.



If you really want to troll me, you should go take a look at my tournament results

If you primarily play live, then why not offer coaching for that?

Offering coaching for something that isnt your main game seems odd to me.

Though clearly you are playing more hands at 2z or 5z, why not should your more recent results, if only 5k a month?

Why do you care? Do you want me to coach you for live poker?
What's wrong with playing "only" 5k hands a month? Some people have full time jobs you know.

Nothing wrong with that, except when you're trying to charge people money to coach

There is nothing wrong with it. But if you are formally offering paid coaching you should be ready to accept that people may have questions about the level of your play and ability to coach. You can see this in many other coaching threads in that forum, many of which are from players playing much higher stakes than you.

I have no issue with you, but based on some of the threads you post (such as this one) I was surprised to see you are posting a coaching thread, as (imo) you don't seem to have a very advanced understanding of the game, such as your comments about sample size.

Though I do give you credit for being upfront in your listing about what you can offer.

Didn't mean you're a joke at all. I'm sure you're a hell of a nice guy. I've just read your posts lately about trying to learn how to grind more and then I see you're coaching. It was just a surprise, that's why I thought it was kind of a joke after what you've recently posted. I'm not here to hate. I wish you the best in whatever you choose man.

What is an acceptable volume to offer coaching then? I'm sure I can put in a few more hands if that would satisfy you!

I'm offering coaching for 2NL, which I'm beating over a 50k hand sample and my win rate has consistently gone up over 3 years.
I also have a TON of general knowledge from being active on this forum and other communities which can be very helpful for beginning players.

Do you believe the best players make the best coaches?
If done properly you can coach people without even knowing how to play poker.

Also pretty sure you got that sample size thing mixed up.
Everyone who lolled about it in here is wrong, go back and read browni's post.
Or plug my numbers into Primedope, I've actually posted them around here somewhere.

I'm curious how you think it's possible to coach NHLE poker without even knowing how to play it?

especially given the existence of this thread...

Let's say a 2NL beginner is questioning whether or not they should call a turn bet with a draw.
I don't know either, since according to you guys I suck at poker.

I don't need to tell this player if they should make the call or not.
I can point out the existence of pot odds and the resources they need to study the concept for themselves.

So basically I've thought someone how to use pot odds, without being able to use them myself.
All that was required was the awareness of the concept.


How do you think the very best players at anything in the world get coaching?
Do you think they have coaches who are better than them but just don't like to compete?
Or do you think their coaches are all scammers who just teach them nothing?
