Testimonials

When people ask if I coach or if I can recommend someone who does, I recommend Melanie, because she is an accomplished player who is a gifted communicator & has been in the trenches vs the best players in the world. When my daughter Jamesin was interested in learning she took lessons from Melanie, and after only a few hours she showed a grasp of starting requirements and started playing and winning. Melanie taught her technique & improved her thought process so she can think through the unique situations that occur in poker in a creative way. I have recommended Melanie to many people who have had a wide range of skill levels and trust that she can improve almost anyone's game.

Melanie Weisner has been my coach for over two years and has revolutionized my poker game. She dramatically improved my poker thought process, which has turned me into a consistent winning player at both cash games and tournaments. Her analysis of concepts and strategies are very thorough. Melanie's teaching method and her patience as a coach is a skill set in and of itself. I could not have asked for a better coach, and I highly recommend her.

Having been a social, and let’s face it, probably a losing player most of my life, I can honestly saying meeting Melanie at a poker camp in 2014 was a pivotal point in my poker career.  While there were other instructors and coaches present, Melanie’s patience and analytical approach to the game persuaded me to take the next step and arrange for coaching. Two years later I am proud to say I have multiple first place finishes under my belt, along with a huge six figure score at the WSOP last summer.  Melanie’s coaching has been an incredible asset to my game and I strongly advise aspiring players to learn from her brilliance in any way they can.

I've been playing poker for over eight years now and recently I started to feel that my progress as professional poker player had reached a plateau. For some time now, I have been trying to find ways to improve (e.g. forums, videos) but to no avail. Then this summer, I had the great fortune of meeting Melanie and engaging her as my coach. Even in the short few sessions that I had with her, she has helped my game in so many ways. From a more thorough thought process to constructing specific ranges for different situations, she is patient and has the ability to transform and extend her extensive knowledge rather than just transmitting it. Melanie was the one outer I needed when all hope seemed lost. Both my cash game and tournament play has seen significant improvement since and I even managed two final tables in small events. 
To sum it all up, she is THE NUTS!

It’s like the difference between an athlete and an athlete on steroids. Melanie’s coaching is the steroids!
