1 Poker lesson

He takes a holistic approach, not just going over the basics like hand ranges, EV and odds, but also bankroll management, mental strategies on how to improve and avoid tilt, and how to prepare for a poker session to maintain maximum focus throughout the session. He will also take time for hand analysis of hands you played and had questions about, or interesting hands he played that highlight certain lessons. I've been very happy with Italo as my poker coach and would highly recommend him.

Max D.

4 Poker lessons

Mike is an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable poker tutor. We had half a dozen sessions over the course of a couple of weeks to prepare me for a networking poker tournament. I came in with a basic understanding of Hold’Em, and Mike very quickly taught me the principles of bet sizing, hand strength, etc. Each session went very smoothly, with a quick recap of what we’d covered last time, and I ended up with a really solid game plan for how to approach the tournament.
