Desired coach: lessthanthreee 
Game: $20-50 6-man turbo jackpot SnG on iPoker.
I find them an interesting challenge for any player and coach because, on the one hand, their normal payout structure is 50/30/20, and thus their bubbles are very similar to the 9-man bubbles (and happen way more often obv), and as a 9-man specialist, <3 is a perfect fit; but on the other hand, they have a 15-BI consolation prize for getting HU 6 times in a row and a massive JP (2500-3000 BI on avg) for winning 6 times in a row, and whenever one has got HU twice or won (or is just running hot in concurrently running tourneys that have started earlier), the third or even the second place 'stop existing'.
So in the same SnG, we can have players using different prize structures for their 'inner ICM pushbots'; in my tiny experience, there are many first-level thinkers that play these just like 9-mans and are tight on the nominal bubble (with 4 left), which could be exploited by loose aggression. (Could I think differently, being primarily a PLO crackhead? 
) Also, in my past micro-SnG experience I found that many players are too tight HU (or am I too loose?), and that's what I've observed at these midstakes too.
I like it that <3 is open-minded as to ICM (as seen in his Future Game Simulation video) and hope he'll steer me in the right direction 
In fact, the dynamic switch of strategies in jackpot SnGs described above is an extension of FGS to the case of several tourneys being played at the same time
Background: as I've written in my intro thread, I've been an utter regfish at PLO20-50 for over 200K hands 
but due to that experience, do have a clue about general things like game selection, the mental game, grinding and learning routines, tracking tools, etc. My education in SnGs is limited to playing up to $11 before switching to PLO, having read Moshman's book and played around with Pokerstrategy's ICM trainer years ago, but that lack of education is obv fixable.
The MTTs I've played a bit were mainly PLO and NLO8, I'm about breakeven there though it says nothing over the small sample. The only >=4-fugure scores have been a HU chop of a $27 (NLO8) Omania and a $2500 bink in a VIP freeroll (39 entrants contested a top-heavy $3360 prize pool).
Alas I haven't played enough SnGs to draw conclusions - when I learned that the Microgaming network is about to shrink so soon, I rushed to play PLO there until it's too late as I love games there; I'm going to partially return to iPoker around this Saturday and build a more meaningful sample, invest heavily into tools and learn a ton soon, don't worry.
Here's the lol tiny sample so far (only a couple of sessions, with no ICM tools used and lol FPDB used as a HUD as I haven't bought the HE addon to PT4 Omaha yet 
):

Sustainable? 
Goal: A peculiar thing is that rake plays a big role in jackpot SnGs (is 17.5-18% :O) and those who grind them a lot have a slight edge even if they're of average ability (in comparison with the whole field, not only regs). So by sustaining a ROI better than -17% (regs in those games usually have from -10% to -5% longterm, profitting due to huge cashback), I'll still be earning more than most of fellow young Russians. Judging by the sample above, albeit lol tiny, if I were a fish unable to do so, such a heater would happen to me less than 20% of the time, so I think I'm not hopeless
P.S. I've noticed that Skodljivec and ErikStenqvist offer Christmas coachings as well. I've had (semi-)private coachings with both and highly recommend them (their explanation manners are amazingly clear). Because I have history with them, I don't feel entitled to apply for their presents - this promo is meant to be a chance for coaches to advertise themselves to potential new students - and though I'll gladly accept their free lesson offers ldo :f_biggrin:, please consider the application for <3's hour as my primary one.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
