Testimonials

  1. “Before joining coaching with Mayank, I spent a lot of time looking at solvers, not understanding how to digest the information I was looking at. Having Mayank guide my study and simplify my strategy has been a game-changer. His structured approach helped me build a solid strategy, making a huge difference in my confidence and execution at the tables. Plus, discussing hands and strategy with him has given me new insights and helped me improve even faster. I’m really glad I joined and would recommend it to anyone looking to step up their game.” - Sahaj Jain ‘fakerealist818’

    This list is not exhaustive. My coaching style is built on the foundation of Game Theory Optimal strategies. On top of that, we’ll learn exploitative strategies to use against the different kinds of opponents we meet.

  • You should start seeing immediate improvement from the first session.

    If we are doing a longer engagement, then you should see yourself move up a level, i.e. Beginner to Intermediate and Intermediate to Advanced.

    My intention would be to leave you at a place where you don’t need hand-holding from a coach and can improve on your own.

  • I have coached everyone from absolute beginners to poker professionals doing this for a living.

    It is important that you have some experience of playing the game. Just knowing the rules is not enough. If you’re at that stage, I would recommend you to get some experience first and then get back to me at a later stage.

My Poker Story

Update: After the online gaming ban in India in August 2025, I am no longer playing online. But I do still coach.

I’ve been playing this game since 2008 and turned pro in 2016. Cash games are my speciality although I dabble in tournaments from time to time. I was a member of the Gujarat Team in Poker Sports League (PSL) Seasons 1 & 2.

I’ve played more than 3 million cash game hands as a professional.

If you want to know more about me, here’s a podcast I did recently with YourPokerGuy.
