Coaching
Over the past few years, I’ve dedicated my career to mastering one game — 6-Card Pot-Limit Omaha.
From day one, my focus was on building a deep, theoretical understanding of the game rather than relying on surface-level intuition. I worked closely with Corey Mikesell to establish a strong foundation and have since spent thousands of hours studying, playing, and refining my approach.
Today, I regularly play between $2/$5 and $10/$20 on GG Poker, and occasionally higher in private app games.

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.
Along the way, I noticed that PLO6 players lacked the kind of tools and structure that exist in other formats — so we built one: the Grinders Vault PLO6 Calculator. It’s designed to handle the true complexity of 6-card Omaha and give players the clarity they need to study effectively.
In addition to developing the calculator, I also work directly with players who want to improve their results. We help players who want personal support, structure, and a clear path toward reaching their goals.
It’s a small, selective program where we work closely on your individual game — identifying the key areas that will have the biggest impact on your results.
Right now, I’m working with four players that have each made between $25-$125k while being coached by me:
- One 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 this program provides.
If you’re serious about improving your game, I’d love to hear from you.

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.”
