[Donk Orleone] The gnarliest CFP [Verified]
Hi,
I'm Sergio, better known online as Donk Orleone. I play online high stakes professionally. I'm also a GTOWizard coach and have done hundreds of hours of 1on1 coaching with dozens of students.
DEADREAD is my CFP. I keep the roster small and hand-picked, so I can be directly responsible for every player who joins.
What makes DEADREAD different:
I'm one of the few coaches actively playing against the toughest players online. What I teach is what I actually use at the tables.
My expertise is figuring out exactly what your problem is, and the precise way we need to address it, personalised for you. Two players with the same leak on paper often need completely different fixes.
I care about one thing: you winning as much money as possible. I don't care about the medium. DEADREAD has 1on1 sessions, group sessions, and a content library covering everything I actually use at the tables. You'll also be part of an active community of players sharing hands, strategies, advice, and the journey up together. You won't be grinding alone.
Ultimately I'll throw the kitchen sink at your game and adapt my approach to whatever your specific case needs. If your biggest leak is in your GTO foundation, we work on GTO. If it's mental, we work on the mental side. MDA, HUD use, database analysis, drilling ranges... Whatever gets you winning more, that's what we do. The structure bends to the player, not the other way around.
Who I'm looking for:
- Playing NL200 or higher (or equivalent)
- Willing to put in serious work — there are no shortcuts here
- Coachable. You need to be able to place your trust in me and run with the plan we build together. In return, I'll do everything in my power not todisappoint you
Deal terms (split, volume, duration) are worked out individually after I've reviewed your application.
If you'd like a small peek at my coaching style before applying, I have dozens of videos up on GTOWizard.

I looked at all of your coaching videos on GTO Wizard. Very informative and well explained, especially the summary of certain heuristics explaining why solver plays this way. IMO, you are the best cash game coaches there!

I appreciate that my friend 😃
Great results aner0, keep it up!
Be careful with 1on1 coaching.
I'm not gonna sit here and try to convince you that I'm different and that my coaching is not a scam. I think it's not and I try to make it worth everyone's time, but you should do your own research.
I would rather you not buy anything from me at all if that means you also don't get scammed by others.
Coaching can be an even more predatory environment than poker itself. I've seen clear cases of 200k+ hand samples being faked in one way or another.
Faking doesn't just mean fabricating, you could fake results by nitpicking 1 out of many sites , 1 out of many stakes or posting at a specific timeframe out of a bigger sample. For instance, if i only posted my ACR only results after janyuary 1st 2023, they would be much more impressive than the current graph in the OP, but it would be dishonest.
I don't even think having mediocre results (or maybe not even playing poker anymore) immediately disqualify you from being a good coach, but lying does.
Do I think coaching is not worth it and it's all a scam? No, it's obviously not. But do your research. Don't get scammed.
To be clear, I'm not calling anyone out here. The couple guys that came to mind are not on this site as far as I know. Just apply it as a general advice
Oh sure, anyone can win if they run above EV.
I can vouch that this guy is not a scammer and if you're a struggling 200nl player like I was he will fix some leaks.
Grinding hard on your wizard coaching videos. It's the best.
Only playing NL10 for now, but can't wait to play high enough and get coaching from you.
