In return for all your help, I will offer some sweat sessions or general help for free on a first come first serve basis. 2nl-50nl. I don't feel like I'm qualified to coach but I'm sure I can at the very least provide some input or analysis.
The post was made 5 minutes ago, and there is currently only one reply.
Free coaching session from someone playing 100NL? Yes, please! We get in contact and set up a session for last night. The session involves him checking my HEM database, and asking what part of the game I might be struggling with/working on.
It is often said that talking poker with someone above your level is the best way to improve your game, and I will never doubt that statement again. What a productive hour I had! We ended up covering 4 distinct points of my game that can easily be improved. Some were leaks showing up in my database stats, others were opportunities for aggression that I was currently missing.
Do you know how long it would take me to find and fix 4 leaks in my poker game without coaching/assistance? The answer of "months" is probably optimistic.
Here is a tiny little snippet from the chat that really got me thinking on a more macro level.
When someone does something that makes you have to think, it's probably a decent play
This simple, powerful statement kind of smacked me in the face. I'm not sure I have digested it completely yet, but it seems to me that it involves thinking on a higher level than I currently am. I'm going to keep mindful of it as I play. When a good player puts pressure on me, I will be thinking "that might be a move" as much as "looks like he has a hand this time".
I can't wait to hit the tables again.
