Former poker pro who had a couple years of tiny spotlight and fame as a non-big pro. My accomplishments are two deep run in the $10K WSOP main event both in top 100 out of 6-7000 people events. In terms of cash game, I was staked playing up to $25/$50 and occasionally $25/$50/$100. I eventually got tired of poker, focused several years full time at Pickleball, got good at that, enough to coach for it. And said, heck im good at poker, why not coach for it too! Im the perfect coach for you if you play $1/2 or $2/5 NL at your local casino and want to simply do better or entirely crush that game. I also teach how to card count Blackjack (been banned throughout Bay Area & Las Vegas).
