What To Expect From Coaching

This can be split into 2 parts; what you will be expected to have for coaching, and what to expect from coaching.

1. What you will be expected to have for coaching:

Mikogo
Skype
– A headset
– PokerTracker/HEM (or similar tracking software)
– Time to play
– The ability to think and be open minded

2. What to expect from coaching:

– To gain a greater grasp on concepts
– Increased profitability
– Ability to plan through hands, hand read better, and bet-size

*Please do not expect to become a top-tier player overnight*

While every student comes with their own background, strengths, and weaknesses, it’s not plausible to believe that any player can become a top-tier player after one session (no coach can truthfully offer this). Coaching is a way to detect leaks, patch them up, and increase knowledge overtime. Now certain players will need less time than others to get to their “goal-level” (the level they wish to get to with the help of coaching), but 1 session usually is nowhere near enough. Be prepared to learn the intricacies of the game, increase knowledge in all areas, and become a winning full-ring player!
