[Donk Orleone] High Stakes 6max Coaching [Verified]

[Donk Orleone] High Stakes 6max Coaching [Verified]

Hi,
I', Sergio, better known online as Donk Orleone. I play online high stakes professionally. I'm also a GTOWizard coach and have done hundreds of hours of 1on1 coaching with dozens of students.
I believe a lot of coaching to be pretty bad value for the following reasons:

  • Poker is a sport, not a science. You can't math your way into being good at the game
  • Intuition can't be taught

How I try to overcome these problems:

  • My job is not to take you somewhere you couldn't get to by yourself. It's to show you the direction and speed up the process 10 fold
  • The core of my coaching has to do with method, not with specifics
  • I care most about setting up habits that will build your skill up over long periods of time

My playstyle and framework:

  • Self-awareness is the #1 skill to develop. Poker is mostly a battle against our own emotions
  • A strong and simple GTO foundation that focuses on "practical unexploitability" as opposed to theoretical unexploitability. Developing this requires a lot of work at the individual level
  • "Practical exploits" as opposed to theoretical exploits. We need to focus on what we know/have a strong belief in and avoid clogging our mental bandwidth with low EV thoughts/feelings

There are multiple different succesful ways of playing poker, and mine is just one of them.
Disclaimer: This playstyle is tailored towards tough pools with known names, there are other better frameworks for anonymous games or soft pools and there are better coaches for those purposes.

These are my last results at high stakes:


Right now I offer 2 services, database review and "mentorship" program.
Database Review:

  • Price: $500
  • Time: 60 min
  • Structure: You send me your last hand histories (Usually 100k at least) and I go in depth into what your leaks are and give you pointers towards fixing them

Mentorship Program:

  • Price: $9600
  • Time: 24x60 min sessions across 6 months
  • Requires going through an aptitude test
  • You can get the initial database review for $500 and pay the remaining $9100 if you decide to continue
  • Structure:
    --- I will lay down my entire approach
    --- 12 hours on theory
    --- 2 Database reviews (at start and end)
    --- Around 3 hours on HUD use
    --- 3 hours on MDA principles
    --- 1 hour on note taking and usage
    --- 2 hours on self assesment, self awareness, mental game and habit building
    --- It is expected that you will study and work on these concepts 10 times harder on your own time

I looked at all of your coaching videos on GTO Wizard. Very informative and well explained, especially the summary of certain heuristics explaining why solver plays this way. IMO, you are the best cash game coaches there!

Great results aner0, keep it up!


Be careful with 1on1 coaching.

I'm not gonna sit here and try to convince you that I'm different and that my coaching is not a scam. I think it's not and I try to make it worth everyone's time, but you should do your own research.
I would rather you not buy anything from me at all if that means you also don't get scammed by others.

Coaching can be an even more predatory environment than poker itself. I've seen clear cases of 200k+ hand samples being faked in one way or another.
Faking doesn't just mean fabricating, you could fake results by nitpicking 1 out of many sites , 1 out of many stakes or posting at a specific timeframe out of a bigger sample. For instance, if i only posted my ACR only results after janyuary 1st 2023, they would be much more impressive than the current graph in the OP, but it would be dishonest.

I don't even think having mediocre results (or maybe not even playing poker anymore) immediately disqualify you from being a good coach, but lying does.

Do I think coaching is not worth it and it's all a scam? No, it's obviously not. But do your research. Don't get scammed.


To be clear, I'm not calling anyone out here. The couple guys that came to mind are not on this site as far as I know. Just apply it as a general advice


Oh sure, anyone can win if they run above EV.

I can vouch that this guy is not a scammer and if you're a struggling 200nl player like I was he will fix some leaks.
