01 / The Plateau

You've watched the videos. You know the theory.

So why are you still card-dead at the final table and bleeding chips in the spots that actually matter? Over-folding the big blind. Fit-or-fold flop play. ICM mistakes on the bubble that cost you pay jumps.

Knowing isn't the same as executing. That gap is what we close — together, on your hands, against your real opponents.

02 / The Method

The Blueprint Method

Not vibes. A sequenced, three-pillar system — each step builds on the last.

01

Master the Fundamentals

Build a foundation that doesn't crack under pressure. Ranges, sizing, board texture — the bedrock every winning decision stands on.

02

Exploit Player Tendencies

Most players are predictable. We turn their tendencies into your profit — reads, adjustments, and the lines GTO won't teach you.

03

A Structured Pathway

No firehose. A plan sequenced so each session compounds the last. You improve faster because you're not drowning in random content.

03 / The Format

What a session actually looks like

01

Zoom + screen share

We work spots live, together — your screen, your hands, real time.

02

Every session recorded

Rewatch the decision, not your memory of it. The tape doesn't lie.

03

Hand reviews between calls

Send me hands. I review them. The work doesn't stop when we hang up.

04

Starts with a free call

15 minutes. No pitch. We find your biggest leak and a plan to fix it.

04 / Free Replays

Watch a real tournament get dismantled — hand by hand.

No 90-second highlight reel. Full breakdowns you can scrub through end to end — the actual thinking, in real time. Free. No signup to watch.

2003 WSOP Main Event — The Run That Started It All

Moneymaker-era classic. Worth studying not for modern ranges but for reads, table image, and the fundamentals that never go out of style.

  • Live reads and table image still win pots
  • Why fundamentals outlast every meta
  • Spotting the leak in “standard” lines

07 / The Coach

I'm Fausto Valdez.

I've coached 300+ players — from break-even grinders to bracelet winners. I don't teach a system I read about. I teach the game I play, the spots I live in, and the adjustments that actually move your win rate.

If you're serious about getting better, let's find your biggest leak together.

08 / Your Move

One free session. Fifteen minutes.

Bring the hand that's been eating at you, and let's break it down together. No commitment. No pitch — just poker.

09 / Straight Answers

Questions, answered honestly

How much does coaching cost?

Coaching is tailored to your game and goals, so pricing is not one-size-fits-all. We sort out the right plan on your free call — zero pressure.

Do you coach cash games or tournaments?

Both. Cash and tournaments, across every stake. The plan adapts to the game you actually play.

How do sessions work?

Over Zoom with screen share. We review hands and work spots together, and every session is recorded so you can rewatch the decision — not your memory of it.

What happens between sessions?

Send me hands. I review them and give feedback, so the work continues when we are not on a call.

I am a beginner — is this for me?

Yes. I coach players from break-even grinders to bracelet winners. We start wherever your game is and build a path from there.
