Default Re: Official MTT COACHING thread.

[ QUOTE ]
no offense, but...

Whoever can pay $200-$300 per hour probably has already made enough money from poker that he or she doesn't need the coaching (unless he or she wants to make even more money) - it's not like you need only 1 hour and that's it.

I understand that you guys can make more money multitabling MTTs than coaching for < $100/h ... but where does the $300 value come from that this forum or a pxf subscriptions can't provide?
If I post a trouble hand in this forum, I not only get answers from the guys who are available for coaching but also multiple others.

I'd love to get a coach myself .. but not at those rates. Anyone ever thought of accepting a % of the winnings from a specified period of time (or number of tournaments) as payment?

then get someone charging less than 300/hr.

edit: i'm not a coach, but despite what a good job pays or the real world value of $300, all coaches have an opportunity cost of not being able to play poker. Almost all coaching rates are <than a player's actual hourly rate so he is taking a pay cut in exchange for no variance/something different. to expect someone making 600/hr to coach you for 30 is lol.
