Dustin Juniper

Dustin is head of cash game mentoring at SharkStaking. He has been playing online poker professionally since 2006. For most of his career Dustin has been consistently beating small-stakes 6-max, but when Rush Poker came out on Full Tilt, he smoothly moved up the limits until he was crushing the highest limit (400NL) at Rush.

When Black Friday happened, Dustin moved down to Costa Rica for a few months to rebuild his bankroll. Now he is back in the US and back to beating mid-stakes NL.

TDustin has been coaching for over a year and has helped countless students transition from breaking even or losing at 25NL to crushing 100NL and higher. He emphasizes optimal thought processes and has a knack for explaining what variables to consider in what situations and why, and how to interpret that information in order to make the best decisions.

Jonathan Davis

Jonathan "Djross13" Davis has been playing poker for over 5 years, with nearly 3 of those years dedicated exclusively to PLO.

Cards have always been a constant in his life whether it was pokemon at a young age, playing cards his entire life or poker currently. He loves to play card games and is a strong advocate for games of skill and strategy that test the ability to think.

He is a recent graduate of the University of Toledo with a bachelor's degree in business and a focus in professional sales and marketing.

After leaving the corporate world to pursue his passion of poker, he has been a regular at the small to mid-stakes PLO games. In addition to playing, he has also authored several articles on poker strategy, and is an avid poker coach.

Beside coaching for SharkStaking, he is also a recent addition to the Card Runners team and produces videos for small stakes PLO.

His philosophy in poker is to always have a clear thought process for every action.

Mats Rasmussen

Mats Rasmussen has endured a rollercoaster of a poker career, having started playing poker when he was in the army at 19 years old, dabbling in 6 handed cash games.

Not being one to hang around, Mats employed an aggressive boom or bust approach to his poker for much of his youth, one week playing the very biggest games available, the next licking his wounds and staring at an empty cashier balance. After winning back to back Sunday 2nd Chance tournaments on PokerStars, Mats had won almost $100,000 in a week only to go and lose the lot in cash games.

After numerous attempts to build a bankroll and inevitably bust it, Mats learned the fundamentals of BRM eventually and began to make some real money at high stakes HUSNGS.

It was a third place in the PokerStars Sunday $500 for $47,500 which finally spurred Mats into focusing solely on HUSNGs, since when he hasn’t looked back and clocked an impressive set of results playing as the alias Lanfear23 on PokerStars.

Mats now coaches SharkStaking HUSNG players and can be found playing anywhere between $50 and $200 HUSNGs on iPoker and PokerStars.

Mats's number one piece of advice to aspiring players: "People are idiots."

Adam Toulson

Adam started off playing poker around 5 years ago on Sky Poker £2 6-max SNG games. Over the course of about 2 years playing he moved up to the £20 games. He then moved to FTP where he learned to multi-table $11 and $22 9max SNGs for a consistent profit. He also soon had great success playing in the 180-man Turbo SNGs on PokerStars.

Adam joined Sharkstaking in January 2012 and is now playing the majority of his games on Betsafe Poker, playing under the moniker Monty297. He is one of the top performing SNG players on Ongame this year.

Adam coaches SNG and MTTSNG players from $5-$50 buy-in levels. He specialises in ICM and end game theory.

His philosophy is "to never think you have the game mastered because you will probably never be as good as you think you are."

MarcinKoziol

Marcin is living in Wroclaw, Poland. Growing up he was very into sports, and although never was more than just an amateur, the competitiveness he developed through all those years is definitely helping him with his poker career. He started by playing micro stakes cash games as a 16 yr old, then played a little bit of everything for few years until he finally decided to stick to DONs and took poker more seriously.

Shortly after Pokerstars got rid of DONs he switched to STTs and joined Sharkstaking, playing any good games he can find at mid-hi stakes.

He believes the key to being a successful player is having good balance in life away from poker and loves the freedom poker gives to pursue his other passions such as making music and travelling.

He considers his strengths to be mostly understanding of how even the slightly changing stack sizes change the situation and dynamics at a table with high blinds, discipline and tilt control.

Marcin coaches STTs and DONs anywhere from $5 to $50 games and in his coaching he focuses on reviewing past students' hand histories in search of leaks and making sure players really understand the dynamics, other regs ranges and thought processes.
