I'm looking for a coach to help me improve my game.
I've been playing NL100 for like forever now. Lifetime, I'm running at a little under 6bb/100 or 3ptbb/100 which is pretty pathetic considering how long I've been playing at this limit. It's been good enough for me to cash out 2k+ a month consistently but I realize that I could be making so much more if I plug some leaks and work on my game.
I'm looking for a long term deal where the coach gets a sizable percentage of my winnings above my current winrate over a specified period of hands. I'm open to paying a small upfront fee but I prefer a system where the coach has a huge incentive to see me improve. I play about 50K+ hands a month. I'll be committed to putting in the effort to improve, meaning that I'll stop watching starcraft vods while I 8 table, etc. and I think that I have enough natural intelligence to greatly increase my winrate if I just get out of the mode of playing the same way that I've been playing.
If the coach can help me get to 6ptbb/100 @ 200NL which I think is a very reasonable and attainable goal, then with the way I envision the profit sharing formula to work, they will be receiving thousands of dollars a month from me. I think there are a bunch of forum regs who can vouch for my integrity to pay up to such a deal. In fact, I want to see my coach earn tens of thousands of dollars from me because that also means that I'm making that much more. And I believe that such an incentive system will attract the most capable coaches and also to motivate the coach to help me improve to the best of their ability, which is ultimately what I'm looking for.
I can also barter advice on financial planning and opening/running a restaurant if anyone potential coaches are interested. As for my credentials in offering advice on those topics, I had experience as a broker, banker and financial planner, licensed series 7, 65 and CFP. I currently own and run a 50 seat restaurant that grosses 1.5 million annually.
So if anyone is interested or knows someone that may be interested, please either respond here or shoot me a PM. Thanks!

it's not really fair to offer a percent of your winnings "above your current winrate"
when somebody is teaching you to fix your leaks and your bad habits, you will feel uncomfortable with your new style and you'll be changing things, and in a lot of cases you'll even feel like what your coach is teaching you doesn't work. so you'll most often have a pattern of winning less for a while as you begin adjusting, then coming to a good understanding of what your coach is saying, THEN winning more
plus winrate varies EXTREMELY wildly over time. if, somehow, you could play 100k hands per day, then using winrate as a baseline for judging improvement would be fair, but winrate is so outrageously variable over long stretches of hands that i don't think it's fair to use it
what you should probably do is give a coach a very simple offer relating to profits during the sweat session (or with a flat upfront fee), spend a few hours, and see where it takes you. if it doesn't seem like you can learn much from that coach, then you have no long-term obligation. if it does, then you can discuss either continuing with the current payment method and just having lessons regularly, or forming a new plan. |

how many tables do you usually play?
imho, try focusing more on your own before getting a coach. only 4table for a while and see what you can learn. i bet your wr goes up. |
