A closed group of five players working this side of the game together for twelve weeks.
The gap between your best game and your worst one is rarely technical. You already know the spots. The gap is what happens when you are tired, in a downswing, or short on sleep, when the decision is the same one you would make cold and you make a different one anyway.
A season is long. The routines that hold in a good month are the first thing to go in a heavy one, and by the time you notice, you have been playing at your worst level for weeks. That is the off-table work: focus, tilt, recovery, and the routines that decide whether your best poker shows up on the days that matter.
The math is simple: one tilted decision in a big spot costs more than the whole program.
You're not performing for the group, you're working alongside people who sit in the same spot you do. When someone talks through a session that wrecked them, you recognize your own patterns in it. When a player you respect comes through a downswing in one piece, it moves what you believe you can handle. And the isolation this game runs on, the sense that you're the only one, quietly lifts. It's honest, and it moves faster than you'd expect.
The science of tilt, focus and sleep in plain language. Only the part you can use in a session, nothing to impress you.
One player brings a real problem from their game or their week, and the group works it together. You will see your own situation in someone else's.
Each week you say what you are working on, out loud, to people who will remember. It is harder to quietly let it slide.
Three phases, four weeks each. The arc holds whatever your calendar looks like, because it is built around what you are working on and not around one series.
We map where things break, then build the plan and the routines: your week, your study, your preparation. Written down, not carried in your head.
The part that decides everything. Holding the work while you are playing volume, tired, or in a downswing, with the group there the whole way through.
An honest review. What held up, what did not, what stays and what goes, and a plan you keep using after the twelve weeks end.
Five seats, one start date, and an application window that closes when the group is full. When the seats are gone, the next group is the next one, not sooner.
The most valuable part is that he helps me plan each individual trip — morning, day and evening routines for the days I'm playing — so I stay focused and in a good mindset through these tiring stops, and perform at my best consistently.
Working with him I've improved my relationship with myself and others. I'm grateful and proud to have him in my corner, and consider him a friend and an ally.
The biggest transformation has been how I've structured my life outside the tables: optimizing my routines to consistently deliver my best in the sessions. For me, Alan is the ultimate reference when it comes to peak performance.
Write me, and we set up a short call. No commitment, just a real conversation to see if this fits, both ways. If it is not right, I will tell you.
