Acumen Poker founder · WSOP Main Event finalist · Coach
Learn from someone who has made decisions on poker’s biggest stage—and has spent years helping players think through their own.
Lee finished seventh in the 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event, navigating a field of 6,358 players. In 2009, he won a WSOP Circuit event at Harrah’s Atlantic City. His recorded live tournament earnings now exceed $1.5 million.
Teaching has long been part of that journey. Acumen Poker was already offering training in 2009, and Lee’s background includes teaching at World Poker Tour Boot Camp. Today, he brings that experience to personal coaching and the development of Acumen Intelligence.
His approach starts with you: the hands you play, the questions you ask, and the decisions you want to understand. Review those spots. Identify what matters. Build a practice plan you can take back to the table.
Poker’s biggest stage. Experience that stays with you.
Seventh place in a field of 6,358. Lee’s Main Event run is part of the experience he brings to coaching: thinking through consequential decisions, navigating pressure, and learning from the hands that stay with you.
