Diamond in the Rough

I got the following PM the other day:

Hey

Do you do sweat sessions/coaching i've been hammering 5nl but can't seem to beat 10nl, just would really like to move up. I don't post much on here, but you seem to be respected, how much would you charge per session if you did? You can check out my stuff on ptr, under adamwil. Hope to hear from you.


Thanks


Adam


I get my fair share of such requests and I always follow up. I was fully expecting to see someone who played 30K hands at 5NL and then 2K hands of runbad at 10NL. Even though it's my policy to not offer coaching I still generally offer people some guidance or point them in what I think is the right direction (ex: Read this and that, watch this and that). So I get to the guy's page and see this:



As I scrolled down to see both the sample size and the winrate, I was instantly intrigued and decided that this deserves a follow up. I showed this to Matt Doran and his reaction was similar to mine - a mixture of respect and dismay.

That said, let me know if you have any questions about Adam - I sure had plenty :)
