Assassinato's Coaching Profile[return to coaching directory]

Message From Assassinato

When we're one on one, I can spot specific things that will quickly, when fixed, lead to a higher earn.

I have taught or had a part in many successful MTTers careers. I don't just absentmindedly watch your hand history and make a few comments. I create an entire lesson plan tailored to you. I want to make you the best MTTer you can be.

I'm also more familiar than many MTT coaches with the software that will help you, so I can aid you in that area as well. I try to make it more than a lesson. I tune-up poker players, try to set their compass straight. I even send my guys to coaches other than me, training videos other than mine, as long as I think it will make them the best.

My goal when I watch you play is to identify exactly what you need to become a monster, and then give you that knowledge, be it through articles, training videos, further lessons, or other homework.

I've had a lot of guys do well after working with me, and that gives me a lot of pride.

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		 Unapprove

Rec Posted On: Mar 8th, 2012 		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

Rec Posted On: Mar 8th, 2012 		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.

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
