I have been playing hold'em on a daily basis for over 8 years and have logged over one million hands. I specialize in both shorthanded and full ring games and spend most of my time playing online, although I still enjoy live games. I have successfully coached several players and helped them identify and correct weaknesses in their games thereby allowing them to advance through the limits.

My programs are tailored to meet your individual needs. I instruct in a wide variety of ways including HH analysis, live sweats, and database reviews but I find that the most instructive sessions are video reviews as the student is not actively in the heat of battle and can focus on absorbing the key concepts. In addition to teaching poker strategy, I will teach you how to game select and find the best games on the Internet. I will also help you utilize all types of software tools available to maximize your edge. My goal is to make you a well rounded player who is proficient in the mental, mathematical, and theoretical aspects of the game.

I am now spending almost all of my time playing and coaching No Limit and specialize in the skill set required to beat small and mid-stakes NL.

Here is a graph of the last year of my play.

I consider myself to be a grinder and I make my money playing rather than coaching or video making. I play approximately 50k hands per month primarily at 200-1k NL. I have 2-4 active students at the most at any one time. This keeps my finger in the pulse of the games and allows me to be a better coach.

"I have had several coaching sessions with Damon and found his poker knowledge and ability to verbalize that information to be quite helpful to the development of my game. I feel he has taken a personal interest in my development as a player. I've also been very happy with his availability away from coaching sessions to answer questions and/or review a few HH."- Shaggy

"I have spent more than 20 hours discussing holdem with surfdoc and he is one of the most fundamentally sound holdem players I know. He is especially skilled at taking theoretical concepts and applying them to real hands which will be a tremendous benefit to anyone he coaches." - ssmallz( 2p2)
