Assassinato's Coaching Profile[return to coaching directory]

Message From Assassinato

As far as I know, there is no one on Earth who has watched as many tournament hand histories as I have. I have 200+ private students currently and am getting new ones each day. I have worked with hundreds of other MTTers. I am the top consultant online for backing houses. Top ten Pocketfivers, WSOP Main Event stars, and numerous Triple Crown winners have come out of my coaching services.

I do not just watch your hand history, show you some flashy plays you could have made, and call it a day. I grew tired of saying the same things every lesson, so I wrote articles and Powerpoints to help illustrate my points. I provide these learning materials free of charge, introduce them to you, and answer any follow-up questions you have in your next lesson. This way, for every one hour you speak to me, you are actually getting several hours of instruction. My students are improving rapidly through this process.

Recently two of my students won Triple Crowns. One made over $200,000+ in a week. Both said it wouldn't have been possible without my training.

http://www.pocketfives.com/articles/pulling-back-curtain-assassinato-587836/<br />
In my studies of tournament Hold'em I have made conclusions that are very different from common MTT wisdom you would learn at a training site. However, no one in my vast network of students and colleagues has been able to dispute my claims. I will share these findings with you privately, but I ask you do your best to keep them private.

The theoretical and mathematical knowledge of the game allows me to solve any hand you can bring to me. For this reason many top players and beginners alike bring their hand histories to me to receive my analysis.

Others, who want a more classroom style lesson, enlist my help for lectures. I have verbal lectures available for mindset training that two of the top MTT stables in the world have used for all of their hundreds of players. I have Powerpoints designed to teach you how to blind steal more effectively than anyone in the game, threebet correctly, and bluff like the best players. I also have lectures prepared on checkraising and raising continuation bets that are extremely powerful in the right person's hands.

You can also know that my strategy works in the field. If my teaching style was not profitable the best players in the game would not come to me. I'd also have 200+ people writing me angry emails about all the money they've lost. Instead, I get emails every day about the money they are winning.

I also have done very well on my own with my methods. I am a large lifetime winner in SNGs, MTTs, and cash games. I have final tabled an EPT, WCOOP, FTOPs, $5,000 live events, and every Sunday major at least once. I also have a WCOOP win in my resume. The way I handle myself in pressure situations has garnered me praise from players such as Faraz Jaka and Jason Mercier. The experience I bring to the table from these live finishes distinguishes me from many of the working coaches there are today.

Finally, I am the most requested MTT coach working today is because of my price. I charge $150 an hour so any serious player at any level can receive my tutelage. I genuinely enjoy coaching, and I price my lessons so that I can be coaching as much as possible. My colleagues have told me I am a fool to not make them at least $300 an hour, but I am in this business for the long run.

I love to teach. I do not do this once in a while. This is my regular job. I pride myself at being the best money can buy. I take your personal development personally. You will feel like it was the best $150 you ever spent on your game, I promise.

Students of mine also receive full access to my personal writing, lectures, and articles. Just reading through all of them will be like receiving 20 hours of private coaching.

In addition, they receive access to any hand history of mine they request.

Package deals are available for more serious students and backing stables. They include:

Purchase of 5 lessons at one time gives you one half lesson free.

Purchase of 10 lessons at one time give you one lesson free.

Purchase of 15 lessons at one time lowers the price to $125 per lesson.

Purchase of 20+ lessons at one times lowers the price to $120 per lesson.

Payment options include Pokerstars, Skrill, Party, Titan, and Paypal. If you would like to take a lesson but do not see your payment option available or you would like to discuss pricing further please contact me.

All lesson requests and inquiries should be emailed to Assassinatocoaching@gmail.com .

Alexander Fitzgerald

Great session with Alex today. Explains simple and advanced concepts hand by hand. His experience as a coach means that he can identify your level quickly and really give you something think about. I learnt 4 concepts which I will put into practice over the next few weeks. I have been moderately successful at low stakes MTT's but I know that with his help and knowledge that I will push on and consistently find edges I never knew were there. Look at it this way - to gain the insights of someone who can teach you how to win at poker is priceless. You wont be disappointed, no matter what your standard is already Unapprove

Had several lessons with Alex now and would thoroughly recommend him to anyone. I feel my game has improved a lot in the short space of time I have been coached by him. I am seeing spots I never previously looked for and am accumulating chips far more frequently in MTTs.

Apart from improving your game,he seems like a top lad , his lessons are very enjoyable and he's very easy to talk too, so there will never be a dull moment or awkward silence during your lesson.

Alex is by far the best coach I have had so far. I think the main thing that seperates him from other coaches is that he is so student orientated, he will give you homework and tests to make sure you are taking everything in and getting your moneys worth, def a bargain at $150/ph. Unapprove

I searched a lot around and decided to get coaching from Alex, first because of all the positive commentaries, and second because of his human qualities, as I could perceive them from writings and other info. I was not disappointed, Alex is a great guy, an exceptional player and an outstanding coach. Just on the first two sessions alone, we worked on several technical flaws of my game and also on the mental approach to poker. I am on the teaching and consulting business in another field of knowledge and I think I can recognize excellence. I found it with Alex. Unapprove

Alex is the best mtt coach money can buy. At 150/hr it is ridiculous value for money. The best thing about his coaching is how enthusiastic he is in his lessons because he just plain loves poker and coaching it and will go over time np if he has to to hammer down a concept.

Besides all that he's a great guy and lessons are super fun as well as professional.

Have only had 1.5 hours of the initial 11 hour package I bought from Assassinato and I have already got 4 final tables and 2 5k+ scores , one in the big $162 and 30r 2 of the toughest fields around. it is worth every penny if you want to get to the next level. 11 lessons has paid for itself in just a few sessions ! theres no point looking elsewhere you won't find better !

I started getting coaching from Alex around September of 2010. He's helped me immensely since we started. He's a great coach and an even better person. Getting Alex is one of the best things I could of done. His insight into so many different aspects of this game and life is invaluable. I highly recommend to all players. Unapprove

Although, I've had only 2 lessons with Alex, I can say with no doubt that I have improved my game a lot in a very short time period. He's super experienced poker player and coach, Alex knows how to be productive while coaching you, knows what he wants to see from you and cares about your improvement.

I consider myself being lazy, but I've never had so much fun learning anything in my life and looking forward to get next lesson with him. I think I haven't enjoyed poker as much as I do now.

Be polite to him, ask questions, don't be late for scheduled lessons, TAKE NOTES! There is no way you can be wrong picking Alex as a coach! He might scream to you when tired, but that's the best part :D

I've been working with Alex for some months already and definitely feel my game has improved a lot since then. He's a great poker mind and just knows how to explain things. I strongly recommend him as a coach because you will definitely improve a lot as a player with him + gain a good friend. Just be ready if you get him on facebook cause he's gonna spam your news feed like crazy!!! Unapprove

Just had my first coaching session with Alex. It was a real eye opener for me, we talked about things I had known of in the past but never really thought about in depth. He explained why and how these things are important and how to adjust to different spots vs different players. His explanations are clear and in depth and he set me many assignments before next session, which even though will be hard work, is something I look forward to and it's extra motivation for me to work on my game and volume. I will be booking many more sessions in the future for sure. Unapprove

I had only one lesson so far but I can already tell that working with Alex will be best poker experience in my 5 years poker career. I had already heard much good things about his coaching quality and aproach but I wanted to make sure myself and there is to much of a good things to write down that I experienced in just one lesson. Attitude was just great I felt like he really wants his students to succeed. After our first session I feel that my overall view of poker and MTT's have changed and I see clear perspective what to work on. I have no doubt that good things will happen soon. Unapprove

Alex is a fantastic coach who's accommodating and brutally honest without being mean-spirited. He's great at figuring out your leaks while giving your actual ways to improve upon them without just informing you. His analytical style is great for MTT'ing and poker in general. He's also remained extremely affordable while cranking out numerous extremely talented poker players over the last few years. Can't recommend him enough. Unapprove

Alex is such an incredible coach and person outside of poker as well. In 5 lessons I have had with Alex, I learnd a lot of A+ strategic concepts which helped me a lot. Another great and uncommon thing is that he teaches you not only pure concepts, but also a ways how to analyze hands and situations by yourself.

Strategy is cool, but a lot of people struggle with mindset and even though most part is strategic talk, Alex very well knows when to input some mindset thoughts which sometimes are as much or even more important than strategic concepts.

If you're looking for one of the best coaching experiences out there, you should try Alex! It's certainly gonna be a great investment in your poker career!

Just dropping in to say my investment in Alex's tuition has started paying serious dividends. I just waded through a monster field in the inaugural UKIPT Online event as a direct result of new strategy I've learned, to make the live final table. Also just got 4th in the big162 on stars. On a slight heater yes but no way I'd be going this deep without my newfound knowledge. Over'n'out, Dan Unapprove

(Here's a letter Alex received from one of his current students. - JW)

Jamie Wilby May 7, 2012... Alex just wanted to say thx for the lesson again

I learnt a couple of things that really helped; but the one that stuck with me was 'dont budge' stick with ur game plan and be patient.

I have turned all those FT i was making into wins. 3 small wins on stars france just afer our lesson.

Then last night i won a 10k garauntee on stars for $2k and then chopped pokerfeast #46 on party for $6k 3 handed.

Ur lesson really helped in the party, i was chip leader from 100 left until 11. Got a beat for tons of chips and then some guy starts abusing his position on me.

I didnt budge or get impatient, I ground him down! And would have shipped all the gold if i ran better 3 handed :)

Thx again man and gl with ur endeavours

Last year I had the opportunity to attend a poker camp taught by Alex "assassinato" in Jacksonville. All I can say is that I just feel extremely lucky to have met such an incredible person. Alex is extremely smart, genuine, and an exceptionally gifted poker player and teacher. He plays on a level that I can't even fathom, but still manages to explain very complex concepts in a way that I can understand. Since the camp Alex has continued to keep in touch with me to follow my progress and give me support, just because he genuinely cares. Its really hard to put words the type of strength that gives me as a player through the ups and downs of this game. To anyone that is truly ready to put the focus and work neccesary to take your game to the next level, working with Alex is the best decision you will ever make. Unapprove

Alex has a great mind and is one of the truly deep thinkers in the game. I have found his passion for poker and for life truly infectious. His is not a formulaic approach. Instead it is a whirlwind ride that will challenge even your most ingrained assumptions about situations and opportunities at every turn.

Alex made a video for me while I had a long stay in hospital last year and then I met and spent time with him at a poker camp. He helped me transition from being a break even player to having a triple digit ROI in the space of a couple of months. I have a huge admiration for him as a person and as a coach.

In my opinion Assassinato is truly one of the top players in the online game today. He's been a tremendous help to me in developing my game. I've been coaching 4+ years and there is definitly no one better at teaching 3bet and 4bet situations out there. He's also one of the best writers on poker strategy out there. He's bluff magazine column is second to none. Unapprove
