What Others Say
"Having played the highest stakes in Macau for many years, I could still learn a lot from QY. He truly knows his stuff, and has put in a ton of work. Very recommended."
Fredrik Kaarem, 5kNL regular on PokerStars
"QY’s understanding of the game is deep and backed by strong fundamentals. He is humble and kind when dealing with students and you can see that he really enjoys teaching. Getting coaching from him is definitely the most +EV decision I have made."
Shibendu Saha, 1kNL regular on GGpoker
"QY has been my coach since the start of my poker career and I can say he has been a tremendous help. Thanks to him I see the game in a much clearer way, which has ultimately translated into better results."
