Cash Coaching...

Can anyone recommend someone who coaches Cash poker? (ideally 100nl+)  99% of what I play is MTTs but I have quite a few business commitments these days meaning my volume has dwindled a lot this year and will likely be even less next year, I quite often find myself with a spare few hours though and have toyed with playing DYM's but i just lose intrerest after a few weeks of grinding them, so I'm going to look to improve my cash game, I feel I am a winning player at 50nl, and can hold my own in 100NL although I definitely cant beat the regs at that level, So id be looking for someone who could potentially improve my cash game with the goal of being able to play the higher stakes profitably whether that be 6max or HU. Ideally id like to stick to sky although im open to playing other sites if neccessary... I wouldnt be looking to become a mad grinder, just to play 2-4 tables more profitably...


If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be most welcomed

    twitch poker tv,theres a russian guy called innersphyco who plays at daytime most days, you can watch him live and see his hole cards as he plays,you will learn a lot by watching him,he plays mostly 2.50/5.00 up to 5.00/10.00 and the odd 10.00/20.00.
    he will answer most questions you want to ask [in english]

    RIO membership? People reckon the coaches can play a bit ABC/standard in videos so as not to give away too much edge but for solid fundamentals should give a good guide

    If you do go the coaching route, would advise to only go for coaching for profits.

    Why would a coach want to do this when Jordz has made it clear he wont be playing massive volume? Also a deal like that would be pretty messy on a site like sky where it is hard to track.

    This is why I suggested cfp, I am in cfp, and I am by no means a mad grinder, the one I am in is a 12 month contract and got to play 400k hands in a year, but they offer other kinda deals like 100k hands contracts.

    Sorry I have never heard of coaching for profits as an actual company. Some coaches will do deals involving a % of winnings as payment so I assumed that was what you were referring to.

    Sorry, still confused as to whether you are saying a type of deal or a certain company is best.

    I am saying that if you go the coaching route that a cfp deal is best, because the coach is incentivized to see improvement in your game.

    I appreciate the suggestion but i probably wont go down that route, ideally looking for someone who has experience on Sky although i dont know if too many higher stake cash players offer coaching, i dont think I would be after anything long term, just a few sessions to rule out any major leaks and then im sure id be able to learn the rest through practice

    I had a guy called Dekkers, before I went into cfp, he was pretty decent, just his hourly at that time was pretty ridiculous think was $150 an hour. Just had a look on 2+2 and he's still going, but he is offering a course now for 99E which inc 1 hour of 1-1 coaching, so might be worth giving him a shot. But this guy is nowhere as good as my current coaches.
