Hi,
My name is Geoff and i live in the UK. I first contacted Ben as a beginner to the game of NLHE and i am glad i did.
Ben is very patient and explains strategy very well. He began by helping me with my Heads up game and progressed to 9 player tourney’s on Pokerstars using a replayer.
At the beginning it seemed that nearly every hand i played was ‘wrong’ and i took reams of notes. After a short while the original bad plays were gone and i was starting to reach the cash in more SNG’s.
I think Ben is great value for money and i will still continue to contact him for help and advice.
Geoff
Ben is an awesome player a great guy and an even better coach. He made a massive difference to my play in just 7 or 8 sessions and I’m now making a consistent 18% profit on low stakes SNGs. He’s a nice, friendly guy and I recommend him to anyone looking to improve there game. He’s patient, knowledgeable and has a whole lot to offer any player looking to advance there game to the next level. Thanks for all your help Ben!
Ben Hayles, aka “gamb64”
I first met Ben playing heads up on PokerStars (and losing almost every game) and although he was my opponent he started offering suggestion to improve my game.
I started taking lesson shortly thereafter and have used Ben as my coach for several years now, which has improved my game significantly.
Ben is easy to learn from, has a great understanding of the game, and will improve your play.
I enjoy playing poker more than ever now thanks to Bens help, and highly recommend him if you want to improve your game.
I first contacted Ben in March – having played 6max SNGs at $5s and $10s for a while with average/slightly above average returns I was keen to progress my game and take it more seriously.
I had used a coach previously who, although being a good player, wasn’t a good coach – there’s a big difference between knowing how to play well and knowing how to teach someone else to play well. As such, I was slightly sceptical and I will admit that I was worried that as Ben’s coaching rates are so good, there may be a catch.
Ben was quick to email back and get to know where I was with my game, as well as giving some initial pointers having done a scan of some of my hand histories.
Ben’s coaching is top-notch – as he is someone who plays at that level professionally (check his stats for yourself) he knows his stuff. The other key point is – he knows how to teach as well (completely different skill).
Ben’s use of Universal Replayer has been fantastic – much, much better value than live/ghosting coaching is and I’ve really got a lot out of it.
We’ve identified the key leaks in my game and it has made a huge difference.
During this month (April), the changes have really started to bed down and I’m currently $400 up with an ROI of 44%.
I’ve also been impressed with the ‘after care’ (for want of a better expression) side of things – Ben’s been very helpful in replying to email queries or having a look at the odd hand history between sessions.
The sessions have been tailored around me and my game rather than a prescriptive, one-size-fits-all approach.
Money-wise Ben represents extremely good value for money and I highly recommend him.
If you’re someone who hasn’t had poker coaching before and wants to take their game seriously, sessions with Ben will be a great investment and will definitely pay off.
I have been playing poker nearly 4 months now, I have been playing the $1 6 Max Sit N Goes and I was a break-even player.
I started to search for a poker coach, I was looking everywhere and speaking to a lot of different coaches, they all seemed to be charging $100+, then I came across this website and seen Ben saw that his price was very good, so I sent him an email and got a response back very quick and had a free 30 minute consultation where we discussed my poker background and he described his and his coaching methods and what ones would suit me most. I was very impressed, better then the other coaches I contacted.
I have had my first session which was a video review, I recorded myself playing 4 tables. I then sent Ben the video and got it back with his voice over, commentating on my plays, where I was going wrong and why, and what he would have done and why. I got this video back within 4 hours, Super Fast!
I then watched it a couple of times and absorbed all of his information and then played a quick game. WOW what a difference, I didn’t get into any sticky situation like I normally did and even though I was card dead in the middle stage and was the small stack 3 handed (where I always used to either blind out or crash out) I came up to the middle stack and then got to heads up and won.
Overall Ben in a TOP NOTCH coach, I would recommend him to anyone, my play has improved massively already, I am definetely going to have a lot more sessions with.
If you are looking for a poker coach, look no further, send Ben an email now, I’m sure you play will improve massively like mine!
i just fimished my sessions with Ben.
i must say some things aout this guy. He was my first coach.
From the first session we had he showed me so many leaks i had in my game. He helped me so much with the postflop play and he teached me the “winning” way to play. He is a very nice guy and he was always there to explain me everything even my english is terrible.
He also gave me the confidence i need to face the game with the right way (aggresive) and stop playing so weak and passive.
I liked he said to me that he wants to send him an email with my future progress in the game.
I would reccomend this guy to everyone wants to learn many many things about poker and be a winner.
I will definitely have some more sessions with him in the future to help me more to go up the levels of SNG’s.
Thanks for all Ben.
