[Red-tailed][30€/h][2NL-100NL affordable 6max coaching]
Hey guys!
I'm a midstakes player for almost 5 years and coaching for the last 3 years, but now as I’m running a business outside poker, something I’ve fought for years.
Therefore, I’m not playing anymore, but since I love the game, I’m available to help micro/low stakes players, with all my experience at a very low coaching rate.
I will charge 30€/hour (60% less than my normal coaching rate).
With this hourly rate, even microstakes players can afford and learn from a guy with a massive experience as a player and coach.
I have limited time now, so I only can have 3-5 students.
What you will learn?
- Preflop deviations from GTO to make your game easy and more profitable.
- When, how and why you should deviate from GTO to exploit population in the most common spots.
- How to bluff catch effectively vs different reg and fish types.
- A solid strategy to exploit different fish types. If you play the same way vs all fish types you are making a terrible mistake (I did that for years!!!). This will have a big impact on your winrate.
- Based in MDA, you will learn what lines you should take more frequently and what lines you should avoid.
Coaching format
First, we need to prioritize the student’s needs.
So, in general, before the first session, I ask students to send me the last 30-50k hands played.
I analyze that and suggest what situations we should work on first.
Those situations are where the student is losing more ev and obviously killing the winrate.
If the student accepts my suggestions we can start from there.
If the student wants to work on something specific, that's ok too.
The sessions can be theoretical (PowerPoint presentations) or more practical with HH’s review and live play review.
I believe these coaching formats are the most valuable.

I’ve worked with Red for ~ a month now (and still continuing) and I’d just like to chime in with my experiences thus far. My account on this forum is new and doesn’t have any posting history, but if anyone needs any proof or would like further information, please feel free to DM me.
1) Red always comes prepared - For each session we focus on a specific spot (e.g., BU vs BB OOP SRP). He always has a set of notes and sample hands ready that relates to the topic that we are discussing today.
2) Red is an amazing teacher. He is able to take complicated concepts and makes it easy for you to understand. He takes his time to make sure you actually understand each point before moving on to the next point. In addition, he always has examples hands extracted from your DB that relates to each point being discussed and will go through street by street on what you did right/wrong and why. Afterwards, he sends the notes to you and the recording of each session (which is a great way to reinforce what was studied and go back on any points that you forgot).
3) Red helps formulates a plan tailored for you that is simple to execute. He achieves this by using MDA and stats of the population within your database to create the best exploitative approach tailored for your player pool/you. This may or may include playing closer to GTO in some spots, but deviating significantly in other spots. He would always explain why we take that line and uses math to prove it. In addition, he is able to show you specifically where your win rate comes from/what lines have been most profitable for you based on the player pool you play in.
4) Red is passionate about coaching. He really wants to make you sure you succeed and does this by ensuring that you understand the concepts discussed and answers all your questions before ending each session. In addition, even though he is a busy man, he will answer any questions that you have after the session (theory or a HH review) in great detail.
In summary, I couldn’t have been more happy with my experiences working with Red and am looking forward in continuing to work with him! I highly recommend anyone looking to improve their game to give it a shot with Red.
Thanks a lot for your words! It's a great pleasure working with you.
Hey I am interested I sent you a friendship DM on discord
Added!
I have been using Red services as a Cash Coach for the last few months and I could not be happier of that decision. It is clear that he has a deep understanding of the game, not just theory but application as well. His approach is geared towards MDA but he understands and can also explain GTO concepts. Very friendly, with an approachable coaching style, he teaches tough concepts in a way thatÂ’s easy to understand and apply. His support does not stop after the session, he is always available for questions and answers in between sessions. It has only been a few sessions for me so far, but I have already seen my confidence and understanding of the game improve significantly.
Thanks for your kind words!

I started playing poker in 2019 and have been coached by several coaches for over a year, paying over $100/hour. (I'm Korean and my coach is Korean.) However, I have never beaten nl 25 (zoon, or R&C).
However, after being coached by Red-tailed, I am now a R
&C NL20 in GG POKER. Red-Tailed makes poker simple to play, and it has become fun to play poker.
I will definitely continue to play with Red-Tailed in the future.

I'm glad you are doing well! Thanks for your review.
those stats in OP aren't midstakes.
I think is very easy to understand when you have a database with more than 1.1M hands you have a lot of stakes included. I climbed the stakes from 50nl to 500nl and I stopped playing full time I was playing 200nl and 500nl, that's why I claimed I was a midstakes player. Did I make any mistake saying a midstakes player? Should I say I'm small stakes player when I'm playing 200nl and 500nl? I'm missing something? I never claimed my stats were only from midstakes, I just said I was a midstakes player. Feel free to explain me what is wrong with my original post.
Here, you have my results by stakes, maybe it helps you to understand better:
Hey,
please accept Discord friend request from "markotm"
Hiring Red as my coach has truly been a fantastic decision. Red is incredibly generous with his time and consistently well-prepared for the sessions.
I've had four sessions with Red so far, and I have noticed a significant improvement in both my understanding and win-rate after each session.
What I appreciate most is Red's ability to blend theoretical explanations with practical examples, which resonates well with my learning style. The MDA analyses and hand reviews he provide have been very insightful.
I would highly recommend Red as a coach!
Thanks for your kind words!
I wanted a coach because I am having a hard time focusing on pre-recorded videos. So I was googling around and found myself here. After reading the nice reviews I decided to give it a shot.
That "shot" has now lasted a month and included about 10 live sessions and even my wife has taken a lesson from Rui. I can say for sure that not in my wildest dreams would I thought that coaching can be so compelling! Time just flies listening to Rui´s easy-to-understand instructions.
Having said that, I am not sure if getting 2 sessions per week is the most productive approach because there is just so much information to digest, but this is my problem and the sessions have been so frequent out of my own request. Unfortunately I don´t have any nice and improved graphs to show (yet) but - I assure you - that is because of student, not because of the teacher.😀 I am the type of person who just has to bang his head to the wall enough before believing that old manners might not be the best ones.
So, do I think Rui is a great coach? Absolutely.
Do I encourage You to take lessons? No, if it means that Rui does not have enough time for me anymore...
Thanks for your kind words! Don't worry, I always have time for you 😀
Hey, sent you a dm on discord. Username amodha
Have done 2 sessions with Red so far and it has gone WAYYYY above my expectations.
Learned some overfolded spots using MDA, he would also filter through my database to prove the data is correct in my pools(he is an absolute wizard at using HEM).
He is very knowledgeable about the game and like another poster said he is very generous with his time.
The value you get is insane IMO and I'll be booking sessions with him for the foreseeable future. Don't see where you could get better value in terms of coaching.
Thanks Red!
Thanks for kind words, I really appreciate 😀
I have been playing poker for a year recreationally. I decided to start taking the game seriously back in March 2024, and started tracking results since end of May. After getting destroyed for the first few thousand hands, I decided to seek help from a coach. I have had 3 sessions so far.
These are my results from 5NL. You can guess when I hired Red-Tailed.
- Coach is very prepared for every session.
- Coach is well versed in database review tools for leak finding, and finding examples from my own hands of where I could apply new advice.
- A clear format to coaching sessions, rather than random reviews and spot study. I know what we will be studying next at any time.
- Coach gives clear directives and advice, instead of vague suggestions.
- Excellent presentation and prepared materials to study MDA.
- Coach clearly cares about your results and success. I have sent him several decision points where I was confused, and he gets back to me very quickly outside of coaching hours. He also does not mind sessions overrunning.
- Coach can explain difficult topics with easy-to-understand intuition. English is excellent.
The sessions are well worth the price point. I plan to do as many coaching sessions as I can until he tells me to go away 😀
I will update this post once I have put in serious volume and done more coaching sessions.
Thanks for your kind words. I think you will be one of those mid stakes regs that loves to crush souls 😀
I highly recommend Red as a coach. I saw rapid improvement after just one session. I was struggling due to my leaks, but after analyzing the database, I started to get back on track. I’ve taken five lessons so far and have learned something new every time. Red has excellent coaching qualities; he is very patient with student and not greedy like some coaches nowadays.
Thanks for your kind words
Hey, I'm not coaching anymore. Sorry for the delayed answer.
