Hello RIO members,

I wanted to briefly update my coaching info as I have had quite a few emails lately regarding specifics (methodology, rates, how you are charged, etc.). This will be effective as of July 5th, 2021.

Methodology: I have found that analyzing recorded footage or hands/specific spots from databases has been by far the most effective method regarding improvement. I will always mention what we can do in theory and in practice all while focusing on how to best simplify the overall process and exploit populations. If you play live, then you can send hands you recorded via notes or a word doc for example and I can review them via that or a hand replayer as I would online footage.

I am willing to meet live via Skype or Zoom. This wasn’t an option before, but I am finding more players that are willing/able to meet during the hours I am available and that seems to be an option that is preferable to a lot of you. I have found that reviewing footage together works well as well as discussing anything in theory. Contact me via my email below and we can work out meeting times.

Rates:

For Live Meetings I charge the following:
$150/hr
$125/hr for 5-9 hours up front
$100/hr for 10+ hours up front

For PLO200+ video analysis and live PLO (10/25 or higher) I charge the following:
$150/hr
$125/hr for 5-9 hours up front
$100/hr for 10+ hours up front

For PLO100 or lower video analysis, as well as live low to mid stakes PLO and NLHE (5/10 PLO or lower and 2/5 or lower NLHE) I charge the following:
$75/hr
$60/hr for 5-9 hours up front
$50/hr for 10+ hours up front

For live meetings hours tracked is simple; however long we meet for is the time used each session. Those sessions typically range from 1-2 hours long.

For any video analysis as of now I track minutes/hours based on how long the video I send back to is in length and I double that time for the analysis that I come up with prior to the actual recording. I have found that on average the time to analyze the video comes out to about the same length in time as the actual recording, so let’s make this simple and use an example:
If you send a 45 minute long session I will normally break that video into about 3 parts of 15 minutes of footage each. Those 15 minutes will likely take about 40-45 minutes (sometimes shorter, sometimes longer) to analyze and then about that same time to record the video.
To keep things as transparent as possible I will use the video time I send back and just double that time to track everything, so if part 1 (your 15 minutes of footage) takes 45 minutes to record, then I mark off 1.5 hours of time from the package.

Let me know of course if you have any questions about anything and feel free to contact me if so at [email protected].
Thank you,
Nick
