Hello guys , i decided to start a Cash Games CFP program with my good friend metal_ouda.The goal is to create a small group of maximum 5 people that are commited to poker and turn them to crushers. A few words about me : I play poker full time for 4+ years.Started from nl2 and nowdays i play mid/high stakes , mainly on GG poker.I used to have a blog also on 2+2 where you can see my journey.Thread starts pretty much the time i turned pro : https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/174/p... (https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/174/poker-blogs-goals/z100-reg-trying-conquer-1714202/) I ve been part of CFPs myself for 2+years , coached by some of the best pokerplayers out there ( like MMAsherdog,Taxhere) and later became a coach myself.I have coached over 100 students in the past 3 years from 50-500NL.I will post below my results + a recent graph of GG poker. Past results

GG Poker

A few words about metal_ouda Metal_ouda started playing poker in 2016 and after a while he also started a chanell on twitch ( https://www.twitch.tv/metal_ouda ) where you can find him stream occasionally until today.He climbed the stakes from the bottom and today he is playing mid/high stakes mainly on GG poker.He was running a CFP program for Greek players the past 2 years ( this one is for everyone).Below i will post his results : Overall

GG Poker

Our Approach : This is not going be another CFP Program that will dive all the time deep into solvers.We will focus on how to make our players moneymakers.Beeing good at poker and making money of it, are two different things. Solvers will improve you, but they wont make you crush the games.We will mainly focus on how to create some explo lines , adjust vs the player pool and maximize the edge vs recreationals +of course breakdown concepts with solvers. How can i join the CFP? I will post below an application form link if you are intrested to be part of our team.The candidates should : *Play minimum 25NL *Be committed https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jZu4hiQ... (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jZu4hiQd6Ec-5h86bj1QolGpSNwVahmezee4wI_7cQM/edit) You can also join our discord server, either you are part of the CFP or not : https://discord.gg/4RUrJebN Gl everyone!!

“GG cashgames are unbeatable with the high rake“ Not when having these 2 guys as coaches. Been in the CFP since late October and is very grateful for joining it. Both of them are great coaches and even better guys. If you have the chance to join it would be a huge mistake imo to not take this opportunity. Here is a picture of my results since joining 3 months ago. Let´s crush together!

Before i joined the team i was a slightly winning 200nl player and i was heavily losing at 500nl. now i can say im beating both(200-500) stakes easily and trying to beat 1knl also.i would suggest to anyone that wants to commit to the project of Metal_ouda and Captainrobur is a no brainer and do it.

I am looking the games in gg and most games have under 25vpip in nl200. Is it possible to make 4bb/100+ without rakeback in these games? I see your results and i dont understand how your students are pulling big winrates in these games, or it is not in gg?

metal_oudaMicro-Stakes Grinder9 posts
Posted Apr 19, 2024, 8:20 AM#16

Graphs are indeed exclusively from GGpoker. You are correct that most of the regulars are not winning without rakeback. However, GG games are beatable, and at every stake, you can find winning regulars with a winrate of 5bb/100+, so it's certainly achievable.

Hello guys. I finished my CFP contract last week. I started at November 2022. When I started with CFP I was playing at 100NL and I was struggling to win the stake, I also had a daily job so I was not playing full time. My main goals were to be a winner player at 200NL and to be able to play at 500NL by the end of my contract. I am very happy that I achieved my goals. I want to thanks my coaches metal_ouda and captainrobur. Now I am looking forward to quit my daily job and focus more on poker by playing full time.

From now and on, 50nl will be the minimum stake for staking deal, gl!

Hello! I recently finished my contract with metal and Robur and figured now is good time to share my views to all the guys looking for a CFP to join. Throughout my time in the CFP I worked with three coaches – metal, Robur and Eveyor. All the coaches have a strong understanding of both general poker theory and on how and when to deviate from „GTO“. Every coach is well versed in explaining the fundametal concepts of winning poker in ways that are easy to grasp and they all bring their own unique flavor to the coaching sessions, making the learning process refreshing and engaging. The coaches maintained a very high standard of professionalism during the whole length of my contract. Not once during my time with the CFP did I feel unsupported or forgotten. All my questions were answered promptly, any issues dealt with quickly. Every coaching session was thoroughly prepared for. Not a single session was ever cancelled and they were all scheduled according to the students wants and needs. In addition to being great players and teachers, metal, Robur and Eveyor are a pleasure to work and interact with. The vibe and energy both in and out of sessions was always positive and motivating – something that was also shared amongst students, who actively discussed hands and rooted for each other. I’ll end with posting my results for the duration of the contract. Even though I ran under EV in poker during my deal, I feel like I ran over EV in picking a CFP! PS. The results/graphs are split in two since the version of H2N I was using stopped supporting converting GG hand histories at the start of this year. So the first half of my deal is with the Hand2Note logos and second half (darker and with orange EV line) is from HEM3. All the results are post rake and pre rakeback.

Hey guys, I have recently finished my CFP contract and want to give a review of my experience here. I've been an MTT professional for over 10 years and wanted to make a transition to cash games, for about a year I tried to figure out things myself, working with solvers, ranges, etc. I was winning slightly at NL200, but overall, I felt I had a lot of leaks in my game and couldn't achieve any significant win rate, nor did I feel I can move up to play higher any time soon. This is my graph from Smarthand :

( March 2023, I contacted metal_ouda whom I played a few times when I was shotting NL500, and with whose results I was really impressed. We talked a bit and I decided to join CFP. Right from the start I was blown away by just how much knowledge these two coaches were giving me and also how they didn't rush in any of 1-on-1 coaching, always answering even the silliest questions honestly. The first few months weren't easy, because there was a lot of new knowledge and concepts in my head and when I was playing I found it a little difficult to apply everything, but as time passed by and I was doing studying on my own + with our sessions together I finally found my game and started having great results. My main playing limit during CFP was NL200 and long story short I became the biggest winner at this limit having a 9BB EV/100 winrate (My winrate at 200, was +0.5BB, so it's an 18x improvement!) Some of my volume was played at 500 too at which I have a positive winrate too. Although I still have many leaks in my game, after this CFP I know how to work on them and how to approach cash games to be a decent winner at any games I will decide to focus on. My results during CFP :

() If you guys considering whether to join here, I would highly recommend it. Thanks, metal_ouda & CaptainRobur & Everyor1994, Wishing you the best for you in the future! <3

That’s actually his first time playing on GGpoker, so the start was tough, but he’s already shot 500NL and is achieving an EV of a 5bb winrate. Remember, only 100nl+ students can apply, lower players can buy CGC products from our site.

Anyone who is motivated and plays at a minimum of 100NL 6-max or 50NL full ring (FR) games is welcome to apply. We also offer staking for those who are interested.

Hello everyone, We’re excited to share some great news! After seeing our students achieve excellent results at regular tables, metal_ouda and I have decided to launch a new CFP program focused on fast-format poker. Our previous CFP was tailored mainly for regular-table players, so we want to offer something that better suits those who prefer fast formats. The new program is open to players from 25NL up to 200NL. If you’re interested in joining, please fill out the application form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jZu4hiQ...
