About the Site
This page is owned and maintained by Chris Wallace and Adam Stemple (you may know us as Fox and Hatfield13). We don’t guarantee any of the coaches on the site, but we have done our best to make sure that any coach listed here knows what they are doing and is an accomplished player as well as a coach who knows how to work with students.
- Chris “Fox” Wallace and Adam Stemple are the former owners of PokerFox.net, and are now featured instructors at PokerXFactor.com.
We work for Pokerxfactor.com and we are coaches ourselves. We also own the rakeback site pokerwhip.com which you may see mentioned in the links on the right side of the site. The kind of traffic this site gets is not going to make us rich, but maybe PokerWhip will get a little traffic to help defer the costs of running this site (which are pretty small anyway).
Our goal is to help people find a good poker coach and help them get the most out of the poker coaching they pay for. We know poker lessons aren’t cheap, and there there are definitely some bad coaches out there. We’ve seen quotes like “My coaching will make you a guaranteed winner” and “I finish in the money in tournaments 90% of the time” that are simply not realistic.
We’ve also seen players offering poker coaching at exorbitant rates with no track record. A good player does not necessarily make a good coach and one bad experience is often enough to turn a player off to coaching forever. We know how much good some poker lessons can do if they come from a good teacher, and good poker coaching will pay for itself many times over if the student studies hard and continues to play.
We hope you are able to find your poker coach here and that you’ll come back and write a review of their coaching to help others make their decision. The more you know about poker the more interesting the game becomes, and if more people are able to find a good coach, the game will continue to grow.
