Coachin' 'em Up

Following my PCA cash for $66,000, I've decided I'm not going to play any poker in January. I am just not playing well. I think about stuff well, but my self-control and concentration is not where it should be. I have gotten sloppy (I talked about this in my previous blog).

The good news is my mind is still sharp as a tack. So, I've decided I'm going to do two things in January. First, I'm going to coach-- as much as I possibly can. I'll be coaching for $1200/hr, but will bump it down to $1100/hr for those who book five sessions in advance. Additionally, if you bought the Memoirs or are a Leggo coach, I will coach for $1000/hr. I will be doing this starting Friday, January 15th until Saturday, January 30th. I am on EST (which I believe is the Poker Stars clock time), and will be coaching from around noon to around midnight, whenever I have people scheduled. So if you're interested, send me a PM and we will book something right away (there will be some exceptions on weekend nights when I'm busy and won't be able to coach). I usually am not interested in coaching and give people some BS excuse about why I don't want to do it, but for these two weeks I'll be pumping out the information into the online poker community. I will coach HU or 6m.

A few things:
1. I am not interested in staking anyone or doing any profit sharing.
2. If you cannot afford 4-figures an hour, do not PM me. I do not want to hear someone PM me and say, "Man, that was like 1/4 of my bankroll! I thought I would learn how to do magic with your coaching! You are the devil!"
3. Please come prepared. Have something to talk about and a list of questions for downtime (or some hands to go over). You will get out of the coaching what you put into it-- but you can't just be like "Hey Aaron, can you talk about Global Warming?" because a. I don't know anything about global warming and . The question is not very specific.

Second, I'm finally going to get around to making a 6 tabling 5-10 video. I think I'm going to play 10,000 hands of 5-10 in January (this doesn't count as playing poker since it's not 25-50+ HU ) in order to "prepare" for this series of videos. I want to get a lot of footage and only put the most interesting parts in (well, realistically I would like it to be a good mix of boring grinding and exciting big pots and weird situations). Anyways, I just want it to be an awesome video series. Not sure what you should expect the first one, a week or 10 days I'd imagine.

Finally, I will have a little bit of a trip report from the PCA I suppose and a little video of the view from our room when my next blog goes up, but to be honest I spent nearly 4 days of my trip grinding in the Main so there aren't as many great stories as there should have been.

Over and out.

Nice cash Aaron, I guess you've learned how not to bust before the first dinner break : )

I think it's awesome you're gonna play some 5-10. Looking forward to hear how you view the games after that.

I keep hearing the word "memoirs" coming up now and again. could you elaborate what it is? how much it costs etc? content? (or link to explanation). might very well be interested, since I like buying books etc which improve my game. so yea, would like to know more about it

and grats on your score

In the next few weeks we'll be adding a few chapters focused exclusively on HU play.

No offense and I know you probably don't care about my opinion on the matter, but I think this a totally ridiculous price to charge for coaching. Jungleman only charges 500/hr. ashman charges from 500-600
Im not saying that because I couldn't afford it, as a matter of fact I could but I seriously doubt you can justify charging 2.5x what these two charge. I'm open to hearing your arguments though.

czarr, I doubt aaron cares to justify his prices to anyone. CTS charges $800+, as do many other 25/50+ guys.

It's a question of what the market will bear czzarr. Value is merely a corollary of the collective interest of a group of people and the availability of what they want. If jones can say, I'm going to charge 1k, and there are takers, than why would he do anything otherwise? Why do Rock and republic jeans cost $300? Why does a Lamborghini cost half a million? Common man, wise up.

I think $1000 is pretty reasonable given aaron's credentials

if you think his prices are too high, you shouldn't post it here and kill his action from fish that will pay him it. Obviously jungleman/ashman are better value for you based on your comment. Many will agree with you on this, especially after seeing aaron's results vs jungleman. Regardless people will pay him 1200/hr, and you should let them do that if they want to.
