Coaching Package (NLHE 6max)

Hey everyone! It’s been over a year since the launch of my COVID Cbetting Course, and despite the great response I ended up changing quite a few things. So I thought I’d make this post to give everyone a more accurate picture of what I’m currently offering.

Who is this coaching aimed at?
Anyone who wants to improve their theoretical knowledge. I have worked with players from 1/2 live to 1knl online, and feedback has been excellent across the board. Check out my testimonials here.

What makes you different from other coaches?
To my knowledge, most coaches go over various common situations (BTN open BB call, SB 3b vs BTN call etc), and talk you through these spots individually. Instead of doing that, I focus on the underlying concepts that tie them together. For example, on AK high boards as the IP 3bettor, we cbet hands like Kx and QQ, despite them not needing much protection. Whereas for BTN open vs BB call, we prefer to play these hands as a check. The underlying concept that ties these two spots together is that marginal hands are more inclined to bet when we have a big range advantage, and identifying this will strengthen your understanding of the game as a whole.

Basically, I have managed to distill thousands of hours of solver work into a handful of key concepts, and understanding these concepts will improve your play in any spot--even the ones we don't cover.

What else do you offer?
Over the course of our sessions, you will also learn how to study with solvers more efficiently. There is a massive amount of useless information in every solve--I’ll show you how to filter out the noise, and focus on what’s important. I’ll also show you how to put theory into practice with GTO trainers, and give you a roadmap to keep improving on your own.

What are your rates?
$200/h
$1000 for 6h
$1600 for 10h

Packages come with worksheets, pio sims, spreadsheets, as well as long term support in the form of a study group.

Isn’t $200/h a little expensive?
Frankly, $200/h is a steal. There are coaches who charge similar rates for hand reviews--imo focusing on concepts is a much more efficient way of learning, because it automatically addresses many of the hands you are not sure about.

On top of that, you’ll also be working with a well-established coach with a ton of positive reviews. Bear in mind my content has improved a lot over the years, and I have not increased my rates by that much.

If you want a better idea of what to expect, you can check out my videos on RIO. I have 10 videos from my time as an Essential coach, and have also requested that my latest video be viewable for Essential members. Whether or not you are planning to sign up, I recommend watching these videos as an extremely cost-efficient way of building good fundamentals.

You can also check out my Youtube channel, although the content there is a bit more basic.

Cheers, and don’t hesitate to leave a comment or PM if you have any questions! You can also contact me by filling in a form on my website.

Edit: Rates are now
$240/h
$1200 for 6h
$1900 for 10h

I highly recommend him as a coach. I view the game in a different way now, and have a deeper understanding of GTO principles. The best money I have spent on poker training.

Shockpulsar 3 years, 4 months ago

QY, is a great coach, I had the 10 hour course and can safely say that it was a good investment.

The course focuses on the GTO part of the game and leaves you with a solid foundation that lets you tackle future problems on your own, which to be honest is the true value of the course.
Understanding the foundations lets you come up with your own answers to the problems presented in the poker tables.

hankrio 3 years, 4 months ago

I can really recommend QY's coaching. Understanding the concepts he's teaching has given me a much deeper understanding of the game. He is also very good at backing up his claims and proving why the different spots are played this way by taking you through different pio sims proving his hypothesis. QY's coaching had a great impact of my game and is one of the best investments you can make as a poker player imo.

monster111 3 years, 4 months ago

i would also recommend QY's coaching i play midstakess and had 10h with QY..
some pros: very organized/structured, good way of explaining complex concepts with analogies, using alot of examples, practical exploit solutions

Agarwa30 3 years, 4 months ago

I have known and been coached by QY for the last 2 years.My understanding of the game from a theoretical and practical perspective has grown exponentially since. Very few possess both a deep understanding of the game and an ability to convey difficult concepts.
Moreover, he is very approachable, is constantly experimenting and updating his own knowledge. Coaching under him has been the best investment for me.

Threepwood 3 years, 4 months ago

Had the Cbetting course and some extra sessions after, this has been the best investment I've made in my game. I've started when I literally just bought pio and now I feel really comfortable with it. QY really helped me understand the macro better, prioritize data and extract concepts. Its been almost a year since our sessions but the framework that QY has provided is the one I use and I rethink and review what we've discussed continously. Add to that the fact that QY is a natural at explaining concepts clearly and tailor his approach for his students and this is indeed as the post mentions, a steal.

suv042986 3 years, 4 months ago

I have been a long time admirer of Qing's theory videos on RIO. Qing is an excellent coach. He has deep understanding of how the game functions. After taking Qing's coaching package, I feel much more confident when playing/studying. I have spent lot of time working with Pio and one thing that I feel is that it is 10x better to know the theory before you try to make sense of a sim. And theory is exactly what Qing is excellent at.

Qing is a thorough professional. He is always prepared for the sessions. His sessions are very interactive, you will feel deeply involved. I always come away from the sessions learning new concepts and seeing known concepts in a different light.

Getting coaching from Qing is probably the best thing you could do for your game. If you are in two minds, just go for it and after the course you'll wonder why did you not do it sooner. Good luck!

bghfktu 3 years, 4 months ago

QY taught me alot of GTO-concepts that were new to a small stakes player like me, so that alone was worth the money. Most importantly though, he gave me the theoretical tools necessary to learn new spots using my own GTO-solver solutions. He also readily answers questions in the study group.

I definitively recommend hiring QY as a coach!

shibendu_Q2 3 years, 4 months ago

1kNL reg here. QY's understanding of the game is deep and backed by strong fundamentals. He is really good at explaining advanced concepts in simple terms.

I would highly recommend hiring QY as a coach.

tbag 3 years, 3 months ago

QY taught me the basic fundamentals of the game and how to approach any given spot. Earlier I used to just see what pio does and try to replicate it without really understanding
the spot and ranges interaction. His coaching style is very methodical and I feel like I understand pio outputs much better now.
I would recommend QY to anyone who wants to have a better understanding of the game.

tinyelvis58 3 years, 3 months ago

QY delivers GTO principles in an easy to digest format. While he can’t give all of the answers, he can give the necessary tools to help your own study process become more effective and efficient. My only regret is not reaching out to QY earlier which would have saved me hours of time/money trying to study GTO on my own.

superT 3 years, 3 months ago

Just finished my coaching package with Qing. He does a great job of improving your poker IQ by distilling the reasons for why we play spots a certain way into simple key concepts that you'll quickly notice apply to many other situations as well. The lessons were well structured with no fluff, and the vibe was efficient but also nicely relaxed and positive. Qing was also very available and thorough in answering messages between sessions, both to clarify what we'd discussed but also to share his thoughts on other theory questions. Overall I'm very pleased with the coaching and definitely recommend working with him.

Soda 3 years, 1 month ago

I just finished my 10-hour-package with QY. I really enjoyed working with him. he is not the type of coach who teaches you the exact strategy. Instead, he teaches you how to study with solver and how to think about strategies. you may think its too expensive to hire someone teach you how to read solver, but trust me, it would save you tons of study time and make your study process much more efficient. However, keep this in mind, since he doesn't spend much time teaching you the exact strategy, you will need to study a lot yourself to build your own strategy, don't expect to hire him to become a great player right after the sessions. (I don't think any coach can do that anyway). he teaches you how to fish, and you need to catch the fish yourself.

pros:
1. sessions are well constructed
2. QY answers all the questions. it can be related to the session or any poker questions in general

cons:
1. the package is expensive(I would not consider it expensive as hiring a coach, most coaches charge $150-$200 per session. but comparing to the $100 RIO membership or all the free materials you can get online, its quite expensive.) Still, I'm glad I decided to spend the extra money, because it saved me a ton of time compared to studying on my own

dayung 2 years, 11 months ago

When I reached out to QY I struggled with learning and understanding GTO concepts. I feel a lot more comfortable working through solutions on my own now. For everyone who is reading this and is on the fence. I would say if you have the budget and you're probably looking for help if you're reading this. QY is a good bet.

Fortuner 2 years, 10 months ago

I recently finished the 10 hour course with Qing and I am quite pleased with it. He helps you understand why the solver does what it does in some of the most common spots and builds your ability to analyse more complex spots, what factors favor betting/checking/raising etc on various flops turns and rivers in SRP and then building to 3bet pots.

I really liked Qing's focus when he hammered in what to "ignore" in solver outputs, which really speeds up your study.
The course is well structured and I definitely learnt a lot in every session.
The information is delivered crisply and explained till the point YOU get it and isn't just a bunch of jargon thrown at you.
Overall definitely worth the money.

alanvillaissa 2 years, 10 months ago

Recently finished the course, and let me tell you a bit about me. A year ago I started a new job and left poker. Started from the micros and was on my way to leave low stakes. Started playing again and lost all my confidence, and that sense of knowing where you're at in a spot. After a 10 hour course, and practicing all the stuff and continuously studying for around 2 months an a half; the increase in Winrate was just a bonus, I've felt more confident than ever and enjoyed the game again. My view of the game changed completely, I figured that although I was winning, I was doing stuff wrong. Now I hunt people like my past me on the tables.

It's expensive yes, but it will be your best poker investment. You'll learn to actually think and anticipate what a solver would do, not just replicate it like a GTO robot.

trainegourdin 2 years, 9 months ago

Just finished the 10h package. It is one of the most interesting coaching I have done. Easy to understand, well prepared, really great !!

Shibooooz 2 years, 9 months ago

I just finished a 6h package and QY has helped me to view the game differently. As an exploitive player, I found QY teachs me about GTO concepts rather than what to do in what spots. Having a good understanding in theorically knowledge helped me to make exploitive play naturally.
I would recommend QY to anyone who is serious about improve their poker skill.

aweeaton 2 years, 8 months ago

Just finished the 10-pack with QY. I had been studying with Pio for ~1 year prior and this was my first coaching experience. I'm glad I pulled the trigger on coaching, which helped me learn fundamental NLHE theory and how to study. For example, I learned about how to use several features in Pio I didn't know existed and gained new insights into how to interpret the outputs. QY provided toy game and practical examples, along with a library of sims to practice drilling. Each session had a sense of direction and was quite dense with content and ideas. I highly recommend QY!

Vlol 2 years, 7 months ago

I'm a mid-high stakes player who has just completed QY's course. Firstly, i have to say that the 10 hour package is an absolute bargain at this price. And it would genuinely be a good investment for pretty much any player looking to increase their theoretical knowledge, no matter what stakes you play. In fact if you're playing lower but looking to progress, this is the perfect course. And the reason for this is that QY has clearly put in many hours of his time learning his theory, and put it into a concise course with clear direction.

He doesn't just show you what to do in many different common scenarios, he also, most importantly shows you WHY. And he does this by using various toy games, diagrams and pre run sims. Learning the why's instead of just the whats will then help you gain knowledge and help you have a better understanding of different spots in the future.. And just better knowledge of theory in general.

He also has sims to practice drilling on your own if you cant run them yourself. As well as showing you the best way to interpret solver outputs. Which in turn gives you a good basis to exploit.

I have recommended him to friends already and honestly couldn't recommend his course enough.

Wombat 2 years, 7 months ago

Just completed QY's 10 hour course must say that it has helped me a lot, he delves into the fundamentals and into the WHY which was what I was looking for. Being a low stake player there were many concepts which I had to learn, QY is a very patient coach, he has a way of explaining things making it and easy to understand and goes at your pace. Highly recommended.

FelixAces 2 years, 6 months ago

Just finished 6h package coaching with QY. First of all, he is a great guy. He really cares about his students. Second of all, he is not the type of coach you hire to give view a few tricks. He is a coach who makes sure you understand the big concepts and understand how to use them in your own study time. He is willing to answer any question and another perk that isn't often mentioned is the Discord group where you can meet other individuals with similar poker goals as you who will want to study with you and that might just be the extra motivation I needed. 5 stars!

andysaq 2 years, 6 months ago

Just finished a 10 hour package with Qing and couldn't be happier. I had very little experience with solvers but Qing helped me get to a place where I understand the solver's strategy and how to think about deviating from GTO based on opponents/player pools.

Prior to working with Qing, I didn't have a clear plan as to how to study and improve as a player. After working with Qing, I feel like I have a clear plan as to how to continue improving as a player based on the concepts he teaches + his approach to studying/drilling.

Qing himself is incredibly knowledgeable. He has a framework for how each hour with him is spent, but his expertise in teaching and solvers really showed when I would ask an off-the-cuff question and he would almost instantly have an answer + solver examples to illustrate why.

brennorio 2 years, 5 months ago

I finished my 10h package. I can only thank Qing. Your coach helped me understand the equilibrium better and that way I can deviate when necessary. I recommend it to everyone who wants to understand more about game theory.

curleys 2 years, 4 months ago

This 10h package was a blast.
Qing is super sharp, a really nice guy, always available and on time.
He backs up and demonstrates every single concept he teaches.
He doesn't stop at the "why" of what's going on in equilibrium, he will explain what it implies when it comes to possible exploits.
To me the real value in this coaching package is that it gives you a solid framework for thinking about and working on poker in general.
You can absolutely trust this to be very +EV.

Badgerok 2 years, 2 months ago

I just finished my 10-hour coaching package with QY and would like to share my review with prospects or anyone who’s interested in working with QY.

I realized after 2 sessions that I want to extend my package from 6 hours to 10 hours.
- QY has blown me away with its structure, precise explanation of the concepts, and number of SIMS that proves his words
- QY will show you why people misunderstand certain concepts, and illustrate SIMs to prove the ideas and logic
- Almost every session I was blown away by the information and presentation of it

QY won't just show dry GTO theory, QY will make these concepts fun, easy to apply and demonstrate all subsequent exploits that could be derived from it
- Every concept was easy enough to implement
- All concepts come with exploits that you can leverage vs specific types of opponents
- All concepts are meant to be taught how to study on your own, ensuring that you apply them on the right boards vs. appropriate opponents

Many of us think we know GTO, we assume that we know how to exploit opponents and many of us are taught the wrong GTO ideas.
- It’s guaranteed that QY will open your eyes to common misconceptions or will be able to identify the leak in your poker thought process
- QY uses questions to pick up your brain about certain spots, concepts and ideas to understand where he needs to start his explanation journey

Lastly, I highly recommend hiring QY if you are looking to explore advanced GTO concepts, improve your exploit game and learn how to study poker on your own.

I signed up for the 6 hour coaching package with QY and couldn’t have asked for a better coach. Having watched numerous videos across various different sites, but being new to receiving coaching, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. However, I personally learned more in 6 hours of coaching from QY than I have from watching countless hours of myriad videos (which isn’t to disparage any videos out there at all— it just speaks to his exceptional skill as a coach). QY’s ability to easily teach theory and concepts in an articulate way made it a pleasure to work with him, and he helped me to build a much stronger foundation than I previously had. In short, QY’s coaching far exceeded the expectations I had and was nothing short of phenomenal in every regard.

Sam Forde 2 years ago

I contacted QY seeking a deeper theoretical understanding to apply to my own game (HUNLH) and provide a foundation to start exploring 6-max.

I could tell from his RIO and YouTube videos that he was skilled at presenting complex ideas in clear terms, finding patterns, and exploring and articulating reasons affecting the EV of different actions in various parts of the game tree.

In beginning to explore 6-max, I anticipate getting overwhelmed by the variety of configurations, so it’s important to me to have theoretical foundations that gives me flexibility and adaptability in applying logic in unfamiliar territory.

I had a great time learning from QY over 10 sessions. He has a clear love for the game and knows how to translate his knowledge into digestible portions and memorable concepts [including great little ms paint diagrams]. Even the way he uses the solver in a dynamic process-oriented manner modelled a way of interacting with it which I will carry forward with me.

A high-quality learning experience with a good bloke. Thanks.

djj_rungood 2 years ago

Having done the course with QY I have found him to be very punctual and professional. His teaching style is such that it covers fundamentals from ground up to the complexes of higher concepts. His teaching of GTO and applications is really awesome. Really have gotten a lot from him than what I was expecting.

sonyman 2 years ago

QY's 10 session package is a fantastic introduction to thinking about poker through the lens of GTO principles. Each well planned session provided me with concepts that improved my game immediately. His GTOWizard and PioSolver sims and walkthroughs helped me develop proficiency with the tools. He also provided me with a plan for self studying at the end of the package.

QY is professional and friendly, would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their theoretical understanding of the game.

feat.random 1 year, 10 months ago

I took 12h with QY, and was preparing each session by rewatching and taking notes on the previous one. By doing that i was regularly stopping the vid and listening sometimes several times what he just said. Thats how i realized how valuable the knowledge he brought was.

SmokeFranch 1 year, 10 months ago

After finishing the 10h-pack with QY, these are my thoughts.

I think QY is right, in that very few coaches offer what he does, and I don't think that is a coincidence. I think very few coaches think like he does. Lots of good players have an intuitive understanding of some concepts he discusses (eg when betting for protection is good vs not), but it's a different thing to internalize a deep understanding of exactly what drives these spots.

QY's package is designed with the old idiom in mind: give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day; teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime.

What's really crazy is that despite only studying a few hours here and there since QY's lessons, the framework alone has changed my results, and the nature of my results. I'm a player who has made all of his money in the last six months exploiting one fact: most nodes are overfolded. My redline went up at 2x and my blue line went down at 1x. Over the last 35k hands, I'm seeing blue line up at 2x and red line at 0x, generating a much higher winrate. Obviously, some of that is just sample, but just the framework alone is enough for me to start thinking about the game in a more fundamentally sound way.

In the long run, I think the last 90m with QY alone, where (among other things) he explains how he works with GTO Wizard personally, will pay for the entire package in terms of my time and profits.

Lastly, he's really just a great guy. Polite, considerate, and attentive. He builds a relationship with his students. That matters.

I haven't tried out all the best coaches in the world, obviously. But is QY worth it? Yes, definitely.

thatcoolhusky 1 year, 8 months ago

Its been an amazing experience working with Qing. 10h package was a steal deal for the value that he offered. I have learnt a very simple and effective way to use GTO Wizard/PIO without getting lost in the solver lands. I realized its very important to filter out the noise and focus on the metrics which add direct value to the EV. QY has taught some very good concepts like mirroring and thinking in terms of opponent's mistakes. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their theoretical understanding of the game.

Nhat 1 year, 6 months ago

I just finished my 12 lessons with QY and I cant thank him enough for reviving my poker dream and transforming me into a poker terminator and crusher. QY a very great great great poker coach and teacher, I was struggling at NL 100 and to be honest I was desperate with my poker dream and now I am crushing it and I moved up to NL 400. I just didnt understand a lot of mechanics and big picture knowledge and right afted my 2 lessons I had my biggest AHA moment in poker with bet sizing, its just the way how he teaches and illustrates for you complicated complex concepts in a very simple effective way with high practical value, its just incredible, how my poker game transformed in a short amount of time. He saved me a lot of time I think at least 5-10 years, because I wouldnt have figured it out on my own, the return of investment is so big, that I already won the whole coaching fee back, and can finally make a living with poker. This coaching with QY is so effective and efficient and at the same time he so friendly and humble and patient and answers ALL your questions with skill and patience you dont feel bad asking a beginner question.
And I struggled with the solvers a lot, because I just didnt understand the solver outputs and what is going on there, why does the solver bet a nut hand with a small sizing or why is middle pair betting big, or why is top pair checking here, and HOW can we exploit villain in this process, and in this coaching we went over many spots, but with a much more effective and efficient approach, he doesnt explain you things in isolation and go from 1 situation to the other, he explains you the underlying concepts, which you can extrapolate and use for other situations which you havent studied yet.
All in all it was a great crazy experience and so much great knowledge and information concentrated in only 12 lessons, QY thank you so much for reviving my poker dream.

BluffyBoi 1 year, 2 months ago

I think that the problem of learning poker is effectively reducible to finding good heuristics and learning how to execute them. Solvers are obviously a helpful tool for this but if the information gleaned by them is fragmented they are of little help. Qi gives an excellent framework for translating the raw output of solvers into meaning - in both the sense that he gives you his own heuristics and he reveals processes for discovering new ones. Excellent investment for anyone looking to improve their game (I bought 10 video session).

Freewalking 1 year, 1 month ago

I Have just completed my 10 hour package with QY and the whole course from the very first lesson to the last lesson has been an amazing eye opening experience. QY is excellent at breaking the game down into what is important and what is just noise, he then explains the important topics to you through analogy's, sims, and other material giving you all the tools you need to succeed long into the future.

QY is easy going and never once did i feel pressured or silly for saying the wrong thing his manner is perfect for the learning process

The biggest joy of the course for me was noticing as QY taught me and I did the work he set out over the weeks I could feel my own mental framework building and topics that once were hard to grasp became second nature,

Thanks QY (Iain)
