The most effective way to improve as a poker player is through 1-on-1 coaching with a player that crushes the limits you want to beat.
My Goal for You
A solid $200nl player in today’s games can earn $2-3k/month playing part time or $6-8k/month playing full-time. My goal is to plug your leaks as quickly and efficiently as possible, developing your game from wherever it is right now to the stage where you can crush $200nl.

Key Coaching Skills
- I’m very involved in mental game and work very hard to keep my levels of focus high during every poker session I play. I have a ton of exercises, tips and tricks for increasing your focus and concentration while playing, to get you in the zone way more often.
- Although my coach credits strong mental game as the reason he’s currently dominating high-stakes games, fundamental strategy plays a huge part. Over the last 6 months I’ve implemented a TON of Ben’s lines while gaining a deep understanding of the underlying strategy. I’m very grateful he’s allowing me to share these with students… Get ready for “lightbulb” moments, you’re going to get the very latest moves in 6-max NL.
- I’ve spent a huge amount of time and effort with my coach progressing my redline from downward trending (pretty heavily) to upward trending and have a very deep understanding of all of the factors that affect redline. I can help you identify spots where you’re dropping redline incorrectly and will show you how to fix it.
- One of my biggest strengths is helping coach players through downswings. I’ve been in a few myself and have learned from a LOT of mistakes! I’ll teach you practical techniques to analyse your situation, regain your confidence levels and get back to playing your A-game, FAST.
Boywonder Recommendation
“I have worked extensively with Barry and believe that he can definitely be of help to anyone looking to improve their small-stakes results or break into the midstakes games… Due not only to his knowledge of these games and how to beat them, but also his ability to clearly articulate his thoughts and his respectul approach to the intangibles of the game, the off-the-table skills that both he and I value so highly.”

My Story
I’ve been a professional player since January 2009 playing $1/2-5/10 and dabbling in $10/20 and $25/50 games.
Since January 2010 I’ve been a student of Boywonder. Within the first few months of coaching I dropped down to $1/2 to work on the fundementals, work-rate and focus. Since then I’ve logged over 100k hands at $1/2 gradually transforming my game into the style of my coach.
I’m currently super confident in my ability to coach 6-max NL players EVERY SKILL REQUIRED to become a successful professional poker player.
Student Recommendations
“Baz teaches people to think about the game rather than just telling you to bet here or check there without knowing why. As well as being a great coach he is great guy as well. Always there when you need him and you can tell he takes a genuine interest in your game and how you are doing. Hiring Baz was easily one of the best decisions I made as a poker player.”
~ Wonderflop
“Public Health Warning. Hiring Barry will have serious implications on your poker. He’ll chase Mr Weak-Tight from the door and give a Mr Nit a good kicking. He jumps on your leaks quicker than an enthusiastic plumber. Working with him allows you to tap into the mind of someone who has been there and done it at your stakes.
The only downside to hiring Barry is that he’s Scottish so probably spends your money on Special Brew, tabs and string vests.”
~ Dog
“Barry’s strengths come from the combination of his logical thinking and mental focus. As well as him helping me plug the leaks in my game and teaching me to think through each hand in a way which has infinitely improved my game, the amount of emphasis he puts on all the other aspects of the game such as playing your A game at all times, is what has really helped to change the way I think about poker.”
~ Mcronix
“Barry is a great coach who thinks very clearly about the game. Many players have what it takes to be a good player, but few have what it takes to also convey those thoughts that make them a good player to their students. Barry is one of the people good enough to do both well. I highly recommend him as a coach.”
~ BTimm
“I’m glad i took baz as a coach. He helped me to deal with a lot of situations, to improve my in-game/out-game thinking process and also with psychological issues towards the game. On top of that, he’s a really nice guy!”
~ Sedeete
“Barry very quickly recognised the areas for improvement in my game and his clear communication and reasoning helped me make the changes easily. Most importantly, it’s had an instant affect on my results!”

Our Coaching Sessions
I’ve been coached by 7 different coaches, trying out many different session styles so I’ve got a good feel for what is most effective. I’ll do sweat sessions or video reviews if you insist, but I’d highly recommend using our time the same way I use my time with Ben…
A couple of days prior to our session I’ll request that you send me up to date Holdem Manager stats/graphs along with 10-12 hands that illustrate spots that have been troubling you recently. I’ll look over everything pre-session and prioritise what we need to work on. In session we’ll use 100% of our time covering specific spots where your difficulties lie, leak-finding in the most efficient and personalised way possible.
This works a lot better than sweat/video sessions where we could be sitting around hoping for interesting spots to come up. We’ll be working directly on your leaks – prioritized by importance – for the entire length of each session.
Video Recording Included
I record a high quality video (including both of our audio tracks) of each coaching session and will provide you with this to download within a few days of your session. You can save these just like personalised training videos, building up a library to study, and reminding yourself of the spots that we’ve covered.
Coaching Rate
$125 per hour.
Money Back Guarantee
I’m so confident that you’ll be satisfied with the quality of my coaching that if you don’t think our first session was worth the pricetag I’ll refund you the $125 immediately.
