Coaching
Over the past few years, I’ve dedicated my career to mastering one game — 6-Card Pot-Limit Omaha.
If you’d like to hear more about my journey with PLO6 you can watch the podcast episode I did with Dan “Jungleman” Cates here.
I now work directly with mid and high-stakes poker players who want to improve their PLO6 game through focused, personalised coaching.
My approach is simple: identify the biggest weaknesses in your game, work through them systematically, and make sure the changes are actually showing up in your play.
IMPORTANT: We are currently not accepting new coaching clients. Please register your interest below to be notified when the coaching service reopens.

Initial PLO6 Coaching Program ($5,000)
This is the starting point for all new private coaching clients.
Before the first session, I review your database to identify the highest-priority leaks in your game.
From there, we:
- Work on the biggest leak in a private coaching session
- Set specific homework to correct it
- Review hands and provide feedback between sessions
- Reassess your progress
- Stay on the same area until it is fixed, then move to the next priority
The program includes 5 hours of private 1-to-1 coaching, plus database analysis, homework review, hand feedback and support between sessions.
At the end of the program, we review your progress and decide whether there is value in continuing together.
Further options may include ongoing private coaching or Coaching for Profit.
Student Results
Here are some results from my students:
- My student Bogdan recently reached $100k profit in just 5 months, playing $1/2 – $10/20 stakes.

You can watch the video where we talk about his journey here:
- Another player started at $0.50/$1 and now plays $2/$5 on GG Poker with one of the top win rates at that stake.

- Another climbed from $0.50/$1 to $25/$50 in just six months, playing mostly heads-up on app games.

These kinds of jumps require focus, discipline, and the right guidance — and that’s exactly what my coaching provides.
If you’re serious about improving your game, I’d love to hear from you-please use the form below to get in touch.
Coaching for Profit is currently only available to active coaching clients.

Testimonials
“As a self-taught heads up 6c specialist, I benefited immensely from James’ scientific approach to coaching. He particularly improved my general strategy in multiway pots and vs. shortstacks, and also taught me many specific ways to exploit the general population of 6c, based on empirical data. James is an insightful coach who combines GTO-theory and empirical findings with practical skill at the tables.”
