Pool data / MDA
Good forHuge samples. If the pool overfolds turn probes, you'll see it.
Watch outThe pool isn't the guy on your left. Overfolding on average doesn't mean overfolding on K72r.
Online cash game coaching
A baseline you can execute.
Adjustments you can support.
Most coaching either hands you sim outputs you can't play, or tells you to just exploit the pool. I teach a simplified baseline I've run through Pio, so you know what it costs, then show you when to deviate from it and by how much.
- Every node mapped with Pio + my own software
- Pool data split by regs, recs and rec VPIP
- Results posted monthly on 2+2 for years

How I teach
The truth is somewhere in the middle
The MDA guys trust pool data. The HUD guys trust stats. Some people live off showdowns, others off whatever the sim says. They all have a point, and they all love dunking on each other. I use all of it. The only question I care about is how much a piece of info actually proves.
HUD stats
Good forInfo on this specific player.
Watch outSamples are usually tiny, and his fold to c-bet is vs everyone, not vs you on this board.
Showdowns
Good forSeeing how he actually plays his hands.
Watch outOne hand is one hand. You remember the spew, not the 40 times he had it.
Sims & theory
Good forWhat should happen, and where people probably mess up.
Watch outPio shows what a perfect player does. Nobody at your table is a perfect player.
1. A baseline you can actually play
Full solver strategies aren't playable. My baseline is a simplified version that gives up very little EV and keeps you close enough to balanced that good regs can't just run you over. I've tested the simplifications against full sims, so we know what they cost and where they break.
Why bother with a baseline if you're going to exploit anyway? Because most of the time you don't have a real read. You need a default for those spots, and something to deviate from when you do.
2. Exploits you can back up
You never know for sure a guy overfolds. It's a game of incomplete info. But you can stack up the evidence, put a confidence range on it, and size your deviation to match.
Weak read, small tweak. Strong read, go nuts. Every new session gives you more hands and a better estimate.
01Stack the evidencePool, HUD, showdowns, sims
02Put a range on it"He folds here 60–75%"
03Size the exploitStronger read, bigger deviation
04Keep updatingMore hands, tighter range
I'm not trying to be the GTO guy or the exploit guy. I want the most EV against the players actually sitting at your table, with exploits you can back up.
Coaching
How we can work together
Everything starts with an application. Tell me where you play and what you're struggling with, and I'll suggest what makes sense and send pricing.

Database Review
One-off · video + written report
I run your database against a solver map of every node and rank the spots where you're furthest off. You'll know exactly what to work on.
- Preflop & flop

FAQ
Questions
Are you a GTO coach or an exploit coach?
Both. You learn a simplified baseline first, then we build exploits on top of it using pool data (split by regs, recs and rec VPIP), HUD stats, showdowns and sim work. Every exploit needs a reason and a scope.
What do I need for a database review?
At least 100k hands, converted so they'll import into Hand2Note. How deep we go on turns and rivers depends on how much sample you have there.
How much does coaching cost?
Depends on the format and your stakes. Apply and I'll send pricing along with what I'd recommend.
How do I pay?
BTC, ETH, PayPal (you cover the fees) or e-Transfer if you're in Canada.
What happens after I apply?
I'll hit you up on Discord or email, we'll chat about your game, and get something booked.
