Call me Babar - everyone else does!

I discovered poker my senior year of college (2004), first in home games and then with a free $2 from Paradise Poker. I almost didn’t finish my thesis as a result, since poker was fascinating and allowed me to use my already formidable procrastination skills. For two years after that poker was a hobby as I slowly built my bankroll. In late 2005 I got a copy of SSHE and from that found the 2+2 LHE forums where I started posting in Dec 2005. I went from learning, to understanding, to posting and helping others, and I've been prolific there for a long time now. As my game improved I started grinding bonuses and soon had a nice side income. When I quit my job in late 2006 I figured I'd play poker as a stopgap until I went back to school or found something new, which hasn't happened yet! So I've been a 'pro' for about two years and a million hands now.

DeucesCracked and 2p2 have been very good to me and I've learned a ton at both places. Over the years I seem to have built up a fair bit of knowledge, and have developed a knack for communicating ideas and concepts, so I figure it's only fair I try to give some back. Teaching and coaching are very rewarding for me because they help me to understand things better, and to see things from different perspectives, so I really enjoy the process.

I'm working with students from .25/.50 to 5/10 (FR and 6m LHE) and everywhere in between. My coaching is aimed not only at playing better, but in approaching and thinking about poker in a clearer and more expansive way. We will find specific leaks to work on, as well as larger themes to keep in mind both at and away from the table.

If you're stuck in a rut, looking to plug leaks, looking to move up, looking to transition from FR to 6m, looking to go from breakeven to winner, or from winner to solid winner in these micros and small and medium stakes, I can help. My coaching is tailored to YOU specifically and I look forward to working with you! Please contact me if you have any questions. References are available upon request.
