Ok so I noticed that the last 4-5 reviews all had only one post, so I wanted to start by saying I made a new account very specifically because I didn't want my opponents to know that I've changed my game so drastically.

I started with the 6 hour package and changed to 10 quickly when I realized the value I was getting. The approach from QY was different than I was used to. Simultaneously, I was able to put in changes to my game while also learning better ways to study, while getting a deeper understanding of the theory.

Before, my training had mostly consisted of "this is wrong, try this" and I didn't get the why, which is something I sorely needed. Why to overbet certain spots. Why to check certain spots.

More impressively to me was how QY was seemingly able to answer any questions I had, and was more than willing to give them deep thought.

As for the results-it's tough to really tell. I switched to a new site after starting with him, and it's the softest poker I've seen in a decade, which unfortunately means I can't give a before/after. But I can say I've never beaten cash games before-only played MTTs-but here's the cash game results since switching to the new site and working with QY


I can say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the sessions have paid for themselves less than 3 months in. It's probably already been worth 10x what I paid. Also helps when you're running good, too 😉


Why many alleged students have only 1 post? It seems very sus to me


I just finished the 10 leason course with QY. Highly recommend. QY has an amazing ability to give a logical explanation for solver solutions. I definitely feel like my understanding of theory improved greatly. Well worth the cost.

Like other students, this might be my first post on 2+2. At the end of the 10 lessons, QY suggests posting a review on this thread. Seems like a reasonable request to me! As a satisfied customer, I am more than happy to add my recommendation.

It seems very strange indeed, so many students that sign ups on 2p2 only to post a positive review


I’ve worked with Qing for about 10 hours, and his coaching approach is truly unique. He has a talent for breaking down GTO into simple, digestible ideas—without falling into the trap of overcomplicating things or blindly repeating solver frequencies. His teaching is a goldmine. Not only has it significantly improved my win rate, but more importantly, it’s given me a much deeper understanding of the game. Instead of just memorizing strategies, I now feel like I actually understand what I’m doing at the tables. Highly recommended

Come on guys, coaches need to make a living somehow


I worked with Qing for 13 hours and during that time, we covered a wide range of fundamental poker concepts that completely transformed the way I approach the game. As a 2/5 live player, I found the sessions invaluable—my understanding deepened significantly, and more importantly, I started winning more consistently.

What sets Qing apart is his ability to break down complex solver concepts into intuitive explanations. He didn’t just tell me to play like a solver —he focused on the why behind the decisions and emphasized how to adjust based on opponents’ imbalances and deviations. This mix of theory and practical exploitation really helped me level up my game.

Qing was always punctual, came prepared, and thoughtfully addressed all my questions. His coaching was insightful, actionable, and tailored to my needs. If you're serious about poker and plan to play long term, I highly recommend Qing—he's worth every penny.


I didn't see that coming, another 1 post account.

I don't understand why a major forum like 2p2 allows this type of fake and misleading advertising

It's not as weird as u make it seem. Lots of newer generation players dont have 2p2 accounts. I think random testamonials / non screen names you dont recognize holds close to zero weight anyways. Would prob be better to show graphs or sell some type of story of moving up in stakes. But you seem to think they are fake, which i don't really believe. He still got some heavy names on his site including Kaarem on his website, wildace_hun in here and some others.

I didn't say the coach isn't legit, but these accounts are sus, 1 post, no screenames on known sites, just strange.
I think users needs to be alerted then they could make an educated decision, but for now it seems to me there are a lot of fake reviews.

In poker there are more coaches then real winnings player, no wonder, no variance, steady hourly and no skills required besides some technical knowledge or some sophisticated jargon design to impress the student, while in reality his knowledge stays the same

Your whole analysis is suspect I’d lay a lot of money you are not a strong poker player.

Let’s lay out 3 claims that are absurd that you are passing off as facts.

1. There are more coaches than real winning players.

Let’s keep the math simple and say 1 million people play poker. Around 10% of all players are winning players so 100k winning players. You are claiming there are more than 100,000 coaches in the poker industry? Zero percent chance that is true.

2. You claim “no skills required besides some technical knowledge.” Again 100% wrong.

You need the following skills to be a good coach:

1. Good verbal skills
2. Good theoretical skill
3. Good exploitative skill
4. Good technical ability wrt to Hand2Note/Solvers.

3. You claim that the coaches knowledge stays the same. Again not correct.

If you have ever been proficient in any subject in school or really anything in life you will realize you get better by teaching other people because they force you to question your own thought process.

This idea that the coaches knowledge is static shows a complete misunderstanding of how learning actually works in practice.

Maybe you need some coaching.

Have you really dissected all the points I've made? I think the msg was clear enough but... who cares.

I dont like to go too much off topic in someones advertising thread. But you are clueless if you think there are more coaches than winning players. Second both names i mention have likely played for more than a decade and both have guaranteed made 7 figures. Kareem was coached by Doug Polk when he was the best in the world. I play highstakes regularly online vs both of kareem and wildace_hun, if you think they would lie or you don't respect their opinion that's on you. Nobody forces you to buy coaching. But I can promise you fake reviews don't have the impact you think and even if it was you can't prove it.


For real? Do you take my post literally? Cmon I'm not sure whether you are trolling.

Std 2p2 nowdays


Just finished up a ten hour coaching package with QY, and he honestly opened my eyes to how theory ACTUALLY works. It's so hard to parse out all the noise you hear on the internet, and if you work with QY, you'll realize so much of it is wrong. Studying doesn't seem like a huge chore anymore. We all know the feeling of looking through sims, not really knowing what's going on. QY will teach you the underlying principles behind solver output, as well as how to apply these concepts to exploit your opponent. In addition to the theoretical base he establishes, he provides numerous practical advice and strategies on how to effectively exploit fish. Things you can immediately implement into your game.

If you're serious about not only understanding poker better but also immediately improving your win rate, book a session with QY.


Did a 10hour session with QY and found the whole experience very useful in gaining a deeper understanding of the game. Appreciate his methodological approach to learning poker. He was also very flexible with timing and was able to work around both our busy schedules. Would recommend to people who want to take the game seriously.
