About me

I know what it's like to be at the felt.

For more than fifteen years I've played and coached at the highest levels of no-limit hold'em. I competed in every variation of NL tournaments and cash games, live and online.

"My process starts with theory - and then I make it simple enough to actually use at the table."

Private coaching

One session will change how you approach the game forever.

We start with an overview of your game - often a database or hand-history review - find your most expensive leaks, and build a personal plan to fix them. You leave with thorough written notes and clear direction.

  • Hourly 1-on-1 sessions, tailored to your format and stakes
  • Database & hand-history reviews that find real leaks
  • Custom packages to provide long-term mentorship

"Kevin was one of the players I looked up to when I first started out - I used to watch his HU coachings on Run It Once and tried to apply everything he was teaching. Fast forward five years and we were working together. His knowledge, especially in heads-up poker, is on another level. He's one of the sharpest minds in the game, and a lot of my success in HU spots comes directly from things I learned from him."

"Krab has coached me for several hours about heads up. We started out with a database review - where he showed me several areas in my game in which my frequencies were off - we went over them one by one and I learned a lot that I didn't know before. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a coach to anyone looking to improve their heads up no limit game."

"I did two sessions with Kevin Rabichow about a month or two apart, even after my first session with him my game improved massively, after he found leaks and weaknesses in my game. What I found most useful, and one of the best takeaways from our session was the amazingly thorough notes he took with in-depth analysis on what to work on and how, which fundamentally changed the way I study poker. To anyone looking to take their game to the next level and excel, I couldn't recommend anyone higher than Kevin Rabichow."

"For years now, I've watched more of Kevin's training videos than anyone else's. I love the way Kevin is able to clearly explain all of the elements that go into his decision-making process in each and every spot. Unlike my own, Kevin's process starts with theory, but where some very theoretical players and teachers might leave it at "this hand is a call," Kevin very clearly details the factors that lead him to his best guess at the optimal play - things like the board texture, the composition of his range, or the qualities of his hand that sometimes aren't immediately apparent."

"Since I started working with Kevin, my technical understanding of the game, my results, and my level of confidence have all increased tremendously. Kevin is both a strong player and a great teacher, which in my experience, is a rare combination. I strongly believe that Kevin cares about his students and is invested in their success."

"Seeking to take my heads up and short-handed cash game skills to another level, I sought out the coaching of Kevin Rabichow. We have worked on both 6-max cash and MTTs over the last year in which I've seen great results in both. Since then, not only has my game sharpened substantially in cash, but I have had my best MTT results in the last year, including my first main event cash for 21k and a 28th place finish in the million-dollar bounty for 53k. I'd recommend Kevin to anyone for coaching across any format. He is truly one of a kind."

"I spent the majority of 2021 getting consistent coaching from Kevin. I knew from his videos that he was a very theory-oriented and calculated player. I was surprised by how much I learned from him about how to incorporate exploitation into my thought process as well. His ability to allow me to comprehend advanced concepts and then implement them into my game in a simplified way was a big key to me having one of the best years of my poker career in 2021. I can't wait to check out his new course and whatever content he produces in the future!"
