POKER COACHING & MORE

Master Low-Stake Games With Me

With twenty years of low-stakes, Texas Hold 'em play in the world’s most competitive arenas—the casinos of Las Vegas—and as the author of 101+ Poker Tips, I bring a unique perspective and approach to the game of poker.

My path combines tactical experience and knowledge with the strategy required to survive and thrive. Whether you're looking to dominate live cash games or to just have more fun, while making more money, I can provide the guidance needed to sharpen your edge.

Poker Coaching

Elevate your game with instruction rooted in the reality of low-stake games on the Las Vegas Strip. My coaching services move beyond theory and into the exploitative strategies that win in real-world, low-stake games.

  • Live Casino "Lab" Sessions: I’ll sit just behind you at a table in Las Vegas and quietly observe your session unfold in real time. As the hands develop, I’ll evaluate your decisions hand-by-hand, your bet sizing, your timing, and paying close attention to the table dynamics how you’re reacting to the personalities and playing styles around you.

    Afterward, we’ll review key hands and situations together. You’ll get clear, practical feedback on where your instincts were correct, where adjustments could improve your results, and how to better exploit the players you’re facing.

  • Tactical Hand Reviews:

    Bring your toughest sessions for a deep-dive analysis. Every poker player has sessions that stick with them — hands that didn’t feel quite right, decisions made under pressure, or spots that are still hard to make sense of after the chips are gone.

    Whether we meet in person or connect via Zoom, we’ll walk through the hands step-by-step and examine the full picture, as your memory serves: your ranges, the board texture, stack sizes, table dynamics, and the tendencies of the opponents you were facing.

    Our goal is simple: to sharpen your decision-making process so the next time you face a similar situation, you’ll recognize it sooner and handle it with greater confidence and clarity.

  • Mental Game & Bankroll Management: Poker isn’t a sprint — it’s a marathon played one decision at a time. No matter the stakes, every player eventually faces the same realities: losing streaks, emotional swings, and the unpredictable nature of variance. Over more than twenty years at the tables, I’ve learned that the players who last aren’t always the most talented — they’re the ones who develop the mental resilience to stay steady when the cards don’t cooperate.

    Equally important is the discipline of sound bankroll management. Together, we’ll talk about how to structure your bankroll, choose games that fit your limits, and avoid the common financial mistakes that quietly derail otherwise solid players. With the right mindset and a clear financial framework, you can weather the inevitable ups and downs of poker and keep yourself in the game long enough for skill to do what it’s supposed to do: win.
