I'm a 29 year old graduate of Oxford University and am based in the UK. I have a highly successful background as a professional sports bettor and initially viewed poker as a hobby, like most of us did at some point. It quickly became apparent to me that online poker is an incredibly viable source of profit and it is now my main source of income, having worked with some of the best European coaches available.
I feel that I am ideal for 6max NL players looking to work on beating their current levels comfortably before moving up, as well as NL players looking to obtain an edge on the regulars in their current games. I have also had particular success in turning tournament players into successful cash players. I aim to work with those playing anywhere from the micros to 5/10 6max in fixing their leaks and getting them beating their levels comfortably while at the same time taking a look at the psychological aspect of poker and how they approach the game in general, all of which combined will build a solid foundation for their poker progression. For a sample of what my coaching is like I would recommend my video series, Yin & Yang.
I currently play NL midstakes on a variety of European sites and also put in a good amount of time playing live cash. I have a keen interest in writing and have been published in Bluff and have forthcoming work for Bluff Europe. I have also had the pleasure of assisting Blackbelt Poker with their online academy and working to coach the stakees at The Poker Farm staking outfit.
My rate is expressed as an approximate figure and will change from student to student, please send me a PM to discuss what rates are appropriate for you. I also coach live poker and am willing to take on live players from within London.
"Tim is always punctual and very professional. He is understanding when things go wrong on the student’s side. When I had problems with my computer during a coaching session Tim was happy to reschedule for another time without any fuss. He is available most of the time on Skype and is not only willing to answer questions about Hand Histories but actually got in contact with me when he hadn't heard from me in some time to encourage me to send him more HHs to discuss and to touch base with how things were going for me.
With regards to the sessions themselves Tim has a very logical, level headed approach to analysing hands and sessions. He has a knack of simplifying things brilliantly and making hands seem much less complicated than they did at the outset. He is a very capable coach when it comes to teaching the basics but when he feels you have a good grasp on the basics he will encourage you to loosen your game up and try different things in order to get in some spots that he can then help you to deal with. He will also back up some of the concepts and ideas he outlines with hand histories that he has played himself, which is helpful.
Tim's series Yin and Yang gives a great insight into his teaching style which in my experience involved getting the basics down tight, loosening up your game in times/spots where it makes sense to do so, and keeping a focus on good, solid handreading throughout. If you enjoyed Yin and Yang you will enjoy Tim’s coaching and I am confident he can help many micro and small stakes players to improve their game." -DC member TheGeek
"I was struggling with NL50SH and my winrate was in red numbers. I started to work with Tim via hand history review in which he explained everything about value betting, hand reading and most importantly for me: understanding WHY I am betting and WHY I am callling etc etc. After his campaign I approached NL100 & NL150 with great results. In total we have had 4 campaigns and have to say that his good mood and great personality was a great cure during any downswings I encountered. I will definitely continue with coaching." - DC member kanister
