    Default Coaching options

    Hi all, before anyone starts I have had a quick search of the forums but haven't really found what I'm looking for.

    Basically I'm looking for coaching but more towards heads up. I am pretty happy with my play during tourneys but always struggle heads up. Perfect example of this is on the weekend going into HU with a 2.5/1 CL and end up busting.

    If anyone can point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers.

    Where are you at in terms of reading and previous coaching, experience playing etc etc etc.

    Not that I could coach you but others might need to know this to refer you to where you need to go.

    cheers

    Self taught no lessons, never had previous coaching, do however play regular tourneys, online and live with moderate to no success online, much better results live. which is why i rarely play online. My problems arise when going into HU, I struggle with my range and always seem to be alot less aggressive which doesnt help either.

    Hope this information helps more

    PM StrongPlay he loves coaching new guys, especially in HU play, it has something to do with improving his game when he has to talk through reasons and becasue he gets benefit out of it he doesn't charge anything either

    There is a guy here mjw006 that is a bit of an online heads-up specialist, and has made some coaching videos.

    What is coaching anyway? What happens in these magical coaching sessions and how could the advice of an inferior player actually help me?

    Look I'm no expert, but if a player seeking coaching has a heads up graph that looks something like this:



    They may want to get a few tips from someone whose graph looks like this:

    Lol my graph def wouldnt be that bad, probably should've named the thread HU Play, more trying to understand what my hand range should be compared to what it is now, opening/calling range etc. and aggression level, as in just be much more aggressive with 3bets etc.
