He has worked with multiple poker training outlets and organizations over the past decade or more, and is now part of the core coaching team at Octopi Poker. You can find him streaming weekly coaching sessions on the Octopi Poker YouTube channel at 10am Pacific time every Friday, or on his own YouTube channel, Poker Fluency.
