Watch Real Coaching Sessions as a Student Moves from 2NL to 5NL

Heri is crushing 2NL at 15bb/100 on PokerStars. But he's struggling to make the adjustment to 5NL.

Sound familiar?

This 6.5-hour series documents eight actual one-on-one coaching sessions as Alton works with Heri to help him make that jump, showing you the complete coaching process from strategy discussions to homework assignments to real-time feedback.

The Challenge

Many players dominate one stake level but struggle when they move up. Heri's situation is common: beating 2NL convincingly but finding 5NL much tougher. This series shows you what it takes to bridge that gap.

Real Coaching, Not Scripted Content

These aren't polished, edited lessons. They're actual coaching sessions recorded as they happen, starting from the second session working together. You'll see the real process of learning to move up in stakes, including the challenges, adjustments, and breakthroughs along the way.

The Coaching Methodology

This series demonstrates Alton's complete coaching approach:

  • Strategy and theory discussions
  • Live play with real-time feedback
  • Homework assignments between sessions
  • "Teachback" sessions where Heri teaches what he's learned
  • Hand history review and analysis
  • Identifying and fixing specific leaks

What Makes This Series Valuable

Watching someone else get coached often teaches you more than getting coached yourself. You'll see common mistakes, observe the learning process, understand how adjustments are made, and recognize patterns in your own game that need fixing.

Who Is Heri?

Heri is a MicroGrinder Poker School student who plays 2NL and 5NL on PokerStars. He's proven he can beat 2NL at a strong win rate but needs help making the adjustments required for 5NL. His challenges are likely similar to yours.
