PokerCoaching Adds Justin Young and New Live Cash Course
The Table 1 host joins the coaching lineup with a six-part strategy series aimed at intermediate No Limit Hold’em players up to $2/$5.
PokerCoaching has added Justin Young to its coaching team and paired the move with a new course on live cash games. The addition gives the training site another coach with a heavy live-game background and a public profile built around the Table 1 Vegas Podcast.
According to pokerfuse, Young is probably best known to the wider poker community as the host of that podcast. The announcement also tied his value to years spent playing live cash games against some of the best players around, along with the relationships he built with many of those opponents.
The new course is already live on PokerCoaching and is titled “How to Crush Live Cash Games with Loose Aggressive Strategies.” It is aimed mainly at intermediate No Limit Hold’em cash players up to $2/$5, and it runs as a six-part series with six videos of about 30 minutes each, for just over three hours of lessons.
The course leans into exploiting common mistakes rather than relying entirely on solver output. It focuses on using aggression and pressure to force uncomfortable decisions, how to respond when a passive player suddenly shows strength, and how to adjust properly against unknown opponents.
Pokerfuse described the course as built for players looking for specific places to make money by taking advantage of general tendencies. It framed Young’s approach as one that leans on recognizing repeated errors in low-stakes games, where many players do not follow what solvers would suggest.
A 2012 Ante Up Magazine profile gives some of Young’s longer poker background. It described him as a former military mechanical engineer from Moorhead City, N.C., who turned professional after working at Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station, and said he lived just outside Las Vegas in Henderson.
That profile also noted his runner-up finish in the 2008 $15K WPT Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic for $936,760 and said he had almost $3 million in live earnings at the time. Young said he preferred live poker because of the personal interaction, and that cash games were still his main game even as he spent time in tournaments.
