We’re a dynamic group of individuals who are passionate about what we do and dedicated to delivering the best results for our clients.
Founder & CEO of Poker Detox
I'm Nick, founder and CEO of Poker Detox. I've coached 1,000+ poker players over 15 years, including top pros.
I started with RunItOnce.com in 2013, focusing on simplified GTO and data-driven strategies.
In 2016, I launched Poker Detox and our unique Coaching For Profits (CFP) program. CFP offers struggling players high-level, data-driven training with zero financial risk. We back our players financially, helping them move quickly to high stakes.
CFP benefits both coaches and players, offering opportunities to those who can't afford traditional poker education.
Our community is more like a circle of loyal friends, all high-performing in a game we love. We've traveled the globe and created lasting memories.
Chief Operating Officer
Gabe Roy is our Chief of Operations and joined as a player in 2017. Quickly proving his worth, he took on extra responsibilities during a time when Detox was much smaller and in transition.
Promoted to COO during our next expansion, he became responsible for all ground-level operations of our Coaching For Profits (CFP) team. Nicknamed "The Machine" by our players, his unparalleled work ethic and organizational skills have been essential.
Today, Gabe's role as COO extends far beyond just operations. He's become a "Jack of all trades," and it's hard to envision Detox functioning without him.

Andrew is the lead coach and strategy developer for Poker Detox. He’s established one of the highest winrates on the team at high stakes and has a strong passion for strategy development. Most of his time is spent coaching MSNL+ players and developing new strategies for Poker Detox.
Coach for CFP Cash & Strategy Engineer
Nate Norman is one of our player coaches and strategy engineers. His time is split between playing, coaching on the ground level, and constructing our next wave of strategy advancements. He’s driven by understanding how the game works on the most fundamental levels, turning basic principles into edge. He joined Poker Detox in early 2018 on one of the first CFP flights. Since then he’s moved up to high stakes and coached many up and coming players, creating 100+ hours of content for the team.
Coach for CFP Cash & Lead Facilitator for 30 Day Training Camp
Jack O’Hara is a coach and high stakes player for Poker Detox CFP. He joined Poker Detox in 2020, playing part time while on a PhD track in Research Psychology. After moving up to high stakes in under a year, Jack began coaching and playing full time. Currently Jack uses Hand2Note to find cutting-edge exploitative strategies, as well as hosting weekly community calls where he lectures on high-win rate technical zones. He is also the resident database review expert for Poker Detox- if you have a leak he will find it, and plug it! Outside of Poker, Jack is a practitioner of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and a former Division I Cross Country & Track athlete.

Co-Founder & Head Coach of MTT Division

Coach for CFP Cash and Strategy Engineer
Cameron Hickey is one of our player coaches and strategy engineers. He specializes in creating simple, high-impact strategies in addition to increasing player earning power. Cameron joined Poker Detox in October 2022 and was unable to beat 200NL. Since then, he has soared to high stakes and is now helping other players replicate his success. Cameron's approach rejects the typical "red line, blue line" approach and instead leverages theoretical principles to maximize every spot.
