Mental Game Coaching

I am the current mental game coach for a CFP run by Metal_Ouda and CaptainRobur, two high stakes players based out of Greece.

I have begun a practicum (September 2023) at private practice as part of training to become a Psychological Associate, which is a title in Ontario, Canada with similar duties and privileges to that of a Psychologist (responsible to the same governing body, authorization to diagnose disorders), but without a PhD.

If you haven’t spent any time or energy really thinking about your mental game, then it can often be one of the fastest returns on investment in terms of win-rate and overall wellbeing.

Please note that I do not now, nor will I ever, act in the capacity of a Psychological Associate, Psychotherapist, or clinician of any kind when it comes to Mental Game Coaching. This service is to help your poker playing abilities, not to diagnose or treat disorders. The context is only relevant in that I have some education in understanding how people think.

You can find samples of my coaching on my Youtube Channel.

Testimonials

Seb is patient, explains his ideas clearly, isextremely friendly and yet at the same time straight forward. I couldn't askfor a better coach. I reached a stagnant point in my play but with Seb'stheoretical explanations, he inspires you to use that new theoretical game knolwedge to create new exploits. I can confidently say that coaching with Sebhas increased my winrate significantly.

Great coach, also excels at themental/psychological side at the game which is just as important as thestrategy side!
-roninn (100nl reg)

After nearly 10 years away from Poker, I decided to get some coaching to get me up to speed as quick as possible. Seb has been excellent at both explaining theory in a clear and concise manner, as well as having a good few tricks and tactics that work exploitatively. I worked with him at 25nl and 50nl, achieving a strong win rate and am now taking shots at the 100nl games. Would highly recommend.

Seb is one of the brightest students I’ve worked with. He asked good questions, had an excellent grasp of concepts, and we were able to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short time. With his communication skills, I’m confident that he’ll be able to impart the same concepts to any potential students.

Hey guys! Here to make my feedback. I started a coaching path with Seb about a month ago. I would absolutely reccomend him, Seb (alias pokercollie), is really a nice guy, he made me comfortable every time we spent together and even if my english is not perfect we never had communication problems. He is really naturally amazing teaching. You can expect from him to improve your game awhile if you are open to listen and to understand his advices. He gives you the base to understand theory, learning you the key concepts that you must know to be good in all the different dynamics that exist in poker. Furthermore, is very competent about how to exploit the pool, so he will give you a lot of info to improve your exploitative plays, that it’s just crucial to crush the game. I am very happy with What I am learning from him and I am really looking forward to continue improving my game working with him also on my mindset, because he can helps you also about the psychological part of the game, due to his studies. I will finish my feedback Just talking very shortly about the Discord server, Seb always gives feedbacks about the hands giving reflexion about theory and playing vs specific types of opponents, so a lot of information that can Helps you improve and also a positive environment. I hope that this feedback will help you. Good luck!

Have had several coaching sessions with Seb,and have found that the way he breaks down the most fundamentally important aspects of the game really resonates with me. I am a microstakes player who has only been playing online for a few months, and felt it would be smart to invest in coaching early on, rather than getting overwhelmed by the vast amount of content out there these days. This has definitely proved to be a wise move, asI already have a much clearer idea of how to approach common spots and what exactly causes strategy construction to be formulated in a certain way, both at equilibrium and against the kinds of players I face at this level. Seb really goes out of his way to ensure that you have grasped the concepts he is discussing by asking pertinent questions during coaching and making sure that any confusion or misapplication is given further clarity before progressing. This extends to between sessions also, where he is always willing to field questions, whether they pertain to concepts from a session, or to just general strategy and hand histories etc. Overall, Seb has a clear understanding of how to approach and win at the game and how to adapt this to your specific level. He has a clear passion for wanting his students to be able to cut through the noise and actually achieve their poker goals. Fantastic value and couldn't recommend highly enough!
