Beat: Pocket Fives Home Page Articles (poker articles in general)

I am not going to argue for or against the results. Actually, I don't know the guy and have only read a couple of his articles. I feel results are not nearly as relevant as you may think.

I have been playing professionally for two years now, but I consider myself a better coach, than I do a player. I have supported myself off earnings as a player, but I think I am much more skilled at coaching. The same goes with pro sports, the best players do not make the best coaches. The best coaches are the one's who understand the game better than most and are able to get the best out of his/her players.

Likewise, the best poker players do not the best coaches. As mentioned, the best poker coaches are the ones capable of indentifying other player's weaknesses, offering solutions and capable of getting the best out of each of his/her clients.

Yea, I understand your argument, just personally (maybe other people agree with me but idk) I think that it will be hard to attract customers w/o having decent result. Also, he said, "I quit my job to play full time about 4 years ago, and haven't looked back." Just by the info (yes I know that there is little info) I dont't see how he accomplished this?

Anyways, I just wanted to throw this out there, was interested in what people thought about the topic.

"I think that it will be hard to attract customers w/o having decent result."

Usually, a poker coach will attract new customers via recommendation of a prior student.
