About Michael →
Working with Gags30

One-on-one. Fundamentals first.

Lessons take place on a video call with screen sharing. Most sessions begin with hand-history review and general strategy before moving on to more advanced topics such as game theory and ICM. Available Monday–Thursday, 11 AM–4 PM EST, with flexibility on request.

How a lesson works.

Curriculum is tailored to where the student actually is, not where the syllabus says they should be. Sessions cover preflop ranges, postflop solver work, ICM, and table dynamics. Foundations come before tactics.

Most students book in multi-lesson packages so we can build a plan rather than chase one-off questions.
