What do you do when your poker skills have hit a plateau? To learn the game initially, many players turn to books, magazine articles, and discussing their play with friends. When the learning curve slows down, it often takes a new perspective to find continued progress.
Most people who start a diet find themselves consistently losing weight for several weeks, until all of a sudden, the weight loss stops. The diet has stayed the same, the workout regimen has stayed the same, yet the weight stops coming off. A great way for dieters to break through plateaus is to hire a personal trainer. A personal trainer can find find new ways to accomplish the same goals, and to restart the weight loss process. Most exercise physiologists and nutritionists agree that the key to continued weight loss is to trick the body into doing things it feels are new or unnatural. Essentially, the idea is to keep the body doing new and different things. The same is also true for poker players. After a quick and vast learning curve, most players find themselves stuck at a point where their game stops improving. When this happens we have two paths we can take. We can continue to play at the same level without much progression, or we can look for new methods that have been proven to help players bust through the plateaus, and bust the game.
One of these tools is Poker Coaching, which is becoming increasingly popular both in online poker and in live games. It is equally important and resourceful as books on theory & strategy, and can provide you with a whole new perspective to the game of poker.
Just like personal trainers do for people trying to get in shape, a good poker coach will help you outline and achieve your goals with poker. A poker coach is your behind the scenes player who watches you play and helps to improve your game. They work through and analyze hand histories to better understand you and your habits. Based on how you play, a poker coach will provide instructions and tutoring to help you break through your plateaus and achieve your goals.
At Poker Tutor Online, the real benefits come from the skills our poker coaches bring to the table. They will spot the leaks in your game that you didn’t know about. Instead of posting your questions on a forum, your coach will work with you one on one to figure out why you keep getting sucked out on the river by a two outer, or why your 3-bet was busted on the turn to an inside straight draw. Yes you can get quality feedback from a forum, but those members can’t give you enough accurate information based on a single post alone. Ultimately these answers will be educated guesses rather than solutions.
A highly qualified coach on the other hand will be better informed to assess these situations through meticulous data analysis, and watching you play. They will work alongside you to gather enough information to be able to provide you with new ideas to reduce your losses, challenge you in different areas and ultimately accelerate your learning process to achieve your goals.
Success does not happen overnight. Poker is a complex game and it takes time to fully understand and adapt to new ideas. When starting your tutoring sessions you need to discuss with your coach what your goals are and work on a plan to target these through multiple steps.
Poker Tutor Online has two available coaches, both with successful backgrounds in cash games & tournaments, live and online. Johnny, Mike, Randy and Glen are regular posters in the forum offering their expertise and knowledge to members covering Cash Game Coaching and Sit and Go Coaching. Both players are available to teach you how to adapt, adjust and advance into new areas that you’re having difficulties with and will work with you to find your leaks. We are so confident in our services that we offer the first session free of charge to serious players who want to become winning players.
We also have a great collection of free poker video lessons that show you how to play and win. These videos cover: NL and Limit Cash Games, Sit and Go Tournaments, Multi-Table Tournaments, and Satellite Tournaments. So if you’re looking to take your game to the next level, check us out at Poker Tutor Online and start beating the game.
