Been a lurker for many years, but my job and other commitments have prevented me from actually playing poker regularly and being part of this community on a regular basis. I have decided that I want to start playing on a regular basis and become involved more in everything poker related.

I've had moderate success in the past, mainly in MTT's etc. I've won numerous MTT's ranging from 2k-5k. Typically I would cash out almost all of those winnings, and usually go broke with the remaining amount. I would stop playing until I got another urge, and start again building up a bankroll. I've played on Stars, Tilt, AP, UB. Currently I am only playing on UB.

Right now my current bankroll sits at $2,580~ I'm looking for a coach to help me with bankroll management, but mainly to help coach me through MTT's, Satellites, and Cash games. I have never used any poker tracking software nor have I ever tracked my results. I know that I have many leaks in my game, and I want to get some feedback on my play.

Right now I play around 20 hours a week (that amount could go up significantly with my renewed dedication). Most hours would be on Saturday/Sunday since I do not work on those days.

What I'm looking for in a coach-

-Knowledgeable
-Experienced - proof that you actually know what your doing or I will not consider you
-Flexible Schedule - I can't play every night and my schedule does change from time to time
-Age - 21+ only

Compensation would be negotiable
Hourly pay (obviously I only have a bankroll of around ~2500, so I cant pay anyone $100/hr icon_biggrin.gif ) I would only consider this if we have success.
% of tournament winnings

If anyone is interested in being my "poker mentor/coach" PM me or post here. Also if anyone has hired a coach, please feel free to leave any tips, suggestions, or point me in the right direction.

i think asking for a coach for tournaments and cash games isn't the best way to go. most tournament players aren't good at cash games and vice versa, i think you would be alot better off looking for one or the other.

Things that you need to clarify first:

What level MTTs are you looking to play, is this just for NLHE, 6max/full ring/HU cash games?

I don't meet your qualifications and I'm a SNG player anyway, just telling you a couple things you still need to specify.

Thanks for the feedback.

I do enjoy playing cash games, but I seem to have very good success playing in MTT's. I would rather focus on tournament play at this point. I only play NLHE MTT's currently.

I mainly play full ring MTT's, but occasionally will play 6 handed tournies, turbo tournies, and satellites.

My buy ins rangefrom $5-30~ I usually try to satellite into anything bigger than that.

Not sure why age is a factor here. One of our most successful members here is <21 and anyone who got coaching from him would be incredibly lucky. Might want to remove that stipulation although anyone interested would probably be over 21.

I hate you. I was about to make that joke, although not nearly as exhaustively. I guess I don't hate you.

No Not Baxter was offering sweat session for cheap awhile ago. If he is still offering them then it would be good bang for your buck.

LOOOOOL. Dude, seriously stfu. NNB a consistent winning mtt player. He has taken down the 100r prolly more times than you can reg to it.

OP...if you are seriously looking to get improve your mtt game and will pay, nnb's record speaks for itself, don't listen to this idiot spread f*cking stupid shit with nothing to back it up. If your looking for a free route to get better at your mtt game, i would say to post hands in the tourney section on some forums, and read the bond18 articles on mtts.

Hope the best for you and gl
