Private lessons are the most efficient way to improve your game. We find that private lessons are most beneficial for players who are already experienced and are looking to take their game to the next level. While we can address several issues in a private session our goal is usually two fold. First we assess a players strengths and weaknesses, and then we work on filling the holes in players games. All of our private poker lessons take place at our office in New York City. Below are some of the tools we use in our private lessons and various methods we use to improve your game.

WE GET TO KNOW YOU

Everyone has different goals and the first thing we do is try to understand what you want from poker. Many players come to us wanting to become professional players. Playing poker professionally is an incredibly difficult thing to do. We believe that anyone can become a good enough player to play the game profitably, but not everyone has the discipline and emotional ability to deal with the up's and down's. The first thing we do is talk about your goals and help you determine the quickest most efficient way of achieving them.

ONLINE ANALYSIS

Online poker offers an amazing platform for studying and improving your game. You see approximately 70% more hands an hour online. This exposes a player to a substantial amount of situations and generates a significant amount of hand histories which we can analyze. Once we have your hand histories we use software like Poker Tracker 3, to find the various leaks in your game and help you fix them.

ONLINE PLAY

We have you play, live, for real money, in front of us on our 120 inch projection screen. We usually ask our clients to speak out loud as they play so we can get a glimpse into their decision making process. The incredibly comfortable couch and HD projector screen just make it so much more fun.

PRESENTING SCENARIOS

We often present our clients with different scenarios that can happen at the table. We ask them what they would do faced with the various situations, and help them understand the mistakes they are making and what they can do to play better.

GIVE YOU THE TOOLS AND RESOURCES

An important part of becoming a well rounded and profitable player is knowing the tools available to you. We will refer you and instruct you on how to use dozens of computer applications, and point you to the best resources for improving your game.

WE STAY IN TOUCH

We stay in touch with all of our students and are happy to guide them through the crazy world of poker. Want to know if you played a hand correctly? Send us the hand history via e-mail and we can continue to help you even after your private lesson.
