How would you describe your experience on the Cardquant Diamond program?

“As an Olympian with a decade of elite training and competition experience, I was always looking for an edge. I intuitively understood that to be the best, I had to train harder and smarter than my competition. Of course, the same goes for poker, and the best ‘edge’ out there is Phil Rocquemore’s 3-month Cardquant Diamond course together with Phil’s coaching. Phil is a master mathematician, teacher, and coach. He does a great job understanding his trainee, the level of their current knowledge and mastery of the game, their strengths and weaknesses, and the level of play to which they aspire. From there, Phil can help you improve in a number of ways, whether you want to become the best poker player or just looking to win the games you play in. You’ll always have plenty to learn from Phil. The investment I made in my skills by enrolling into Phil’s Cardquant Diamond course has paid me back many times in the brief time since the course. And I continue to improve by practicing with Phil’s Pokermuscle software and Phil’s weekly coaching. I am so happy I pursued training with Phil — I love the player I am becoming and the extra cash is great!”

How would you describe your experience on the Cardquant Diamond program?

When I applied for 5 card Diamond program I had already been playing 5 card Omaha for a year and doing decent I would say (primarily because games were so soft) but my understanding of game was poor to say the least.

It’s been a year since I have been working with Phil, each report of the program and each session I have had with Phil has made difference in my understanding of the game itself and my win rate has tripled over the course of the year, I was making 10-20k a month when i joined Phil and I make 50-80k a month now. My confidence as a poker player itself has never been higher. Though he has only coached my 5 card [and 6 card] but his understanding and the way he explains things has helped me even in other formats. Having Phil as my coach has been the best decision of my poker career, I couldn’t be more happy about it,

How would you describe your experience on the Cardquant Diamond program?

Working with Phil has been a pleasure, he combines analytical theoretical work with practical application of how to use it. He does a fantastic job explaining a framework on how to think about the game rather than just spitting out “optimal” solutions without any analysis like other coaching sites do. I would strongly recommend working with Phil to any player that has a clear vision of what they want out of poker and is willing to put in the time to achieve it.

What questions did you have before joining Cardquant Diamond?

I was a bit unsure about whether or not coaching could provide enough unique content compared to the general materials that already exist to justify the price. I’m very happy to say that I have learned a multitude of different ideas that I’m 100% confident is not taught on any other training site or by anyone else in the market. I have found coaching to be completely worth it, it has elevated my game to another level.

What ultimately convinced you to join Cardquant Diamond?

I realized that all the 5 card PLO material coming out on other platforms were very raw and unanalyzed ideas. Most of the 5 card PLO coaches were very new to the game and were still learning how to play as they were creating content. Meanwhile, Phil has been playing and studying 5 card PLO for many years and already has developed a solid approach to the game.

What ultimately convinced you to join Cardquant Diamond?

I first came across Phil’s blog in 2012 whilst searching for answers during my first extended downswing/breakeven stretch of my career.  I saw then that he had a much more data-driven analytical approach to the game than other people offering coaching  – something that really appealed to me.  Within just 1-2 lessons, Phil helped me eliminate the vast majority of my preflop mistakes, and thru our lengthy discussions and debates about the game he’s helped me completely transform my thought process and approach to post-flop play.  Furthermore, Phil’s background in computer science and dedication to the craft in my opinion puts him at the forefront of the arms race for the best PLO5/6 solvers.

Although the coaching I’ve received in poker has been quite limited, Phil is the only person i’ve worked with over the last 15 years.  In that time I’ve gone from an average reg at plo100 to one of the biggest winners in the 10/20 – 50/100$ app games.  When I first went after Phil for coaching, I used to dream about consistently making 100k$ in a year as a poker pro; now it’s a figure I reach monthly on a fairly regular basis.  There are a dozen sites out there with thousands of members, all of which charge effectively small sums for “exclusive content.”  In poker, just as in life, you typically get what you pay for.
