Dear community!

Once again we are hosting our special Christmas coaching event - coaching gifts from PokerStrategists for PokerStrategists!

Be a Santa Claus in our coaching for the community

We would like to do our share towards promoting the festive spirit within our community and remind ourselves who we really are and what characterises us - we are ONE community, where all members help and support each other.

Therefore, we encourage our experienced and successful members to lend their helping hands to less experienced but aspiring PokerStrategists, in order to make our community progress as a whole.

This is how you can help: volunteer as a coach for one or more PokerStrategists for your respective game type. You are completely free to arrange the characteristics and length of your coaching session and you can choose any student from the pool of all candidates.

You're in? Then post your coaching offer right here!

It would be great if you could give details about the way you would like to coach (e.g. live coaching, session review) and which requirements your students should fulfil (e.g. Skype, Teamviewer).

To volunteer as a free Christmas coach, just post your offer in this thread and include information about game type, maximum stakes, approximate date and your target audience.

This list will be updated regularly.

Well, I'll get it rolling then!

I think I could help someone out up to nl10.
Something like a session review and then discussion would probably work best.

I'm pretty easy on dates and times.

I'm currently playing nl50 & 100, you can check out some of my posts in my latest blog here.

Thanks to everyone so far for offering their services.

I have divided all the student requests out for the minute. This thread is specifically for offers and the students will have the opportunity to apply in another thread which will be created in the coming days.

Please keep this thread for coaching offers only.

The list has been updated with the first voluntary coaches. For those of you who are not official PokerStrategy.com coaches, it would be great if you could write a little more about yourself in your post, maybe even link to your blog.

Please do keep the submissions coming!

I'll offer a longtime coaching for a Nl2-Nl10 FR player. Something about 2 month and 1-2h a week. But important only fullring!
I can teach a solid ABC game and help to beat the microstakes.
You can find some graphs in my old blog *klick*

What you should be/have:

- some poker experiences (poker basics / have HM or PT/ played more than 10k hands)
- motivated to learn solid ABC-Poker (no spew or very advanced moves etc)
- good english skills (that you can fix my biggest language leaks ♦ )
