Re: What levels is coaching no longer worth while?
[ QUOTE ]
If anything coaching would be closer to obsolete in the microstakes than it would at mid-high. At microstakes players presumably have a smaller bankroll, and the vast majority of knowledge they lack can be attained from books or websites like this one. In either circumstance a coach could be very useful.

The argument for micro stakes coaching is the opportunity cost of rising in limits. (If coaching is $200/hour but the 10 hours of coaching i pay for means 2 more months at 30/60 instead of 15/30 @ the same winrate then i should get coaching. At smaller stakes this difference is larger IMO.)
I have seen students who were playing 10 tables of 1/2 nl for 6 months shoot up to 6-8 tabling 3/6 and 5/10 nl within 2 months. Who knows if they EVER would have gotten there without coaching.
And they still get coached.
It's not only about learning to play - it's learning you're not alone out there. It's taking the game more seriously. It's trying harder to win. It just changes your mindset.
