Re: Why coaching when there are videos?
Private coaching is, of course, the most efficient and effective way to improve your game, because it targets your issues most specifically. However, it may not be the most cost-efficient, especially to those players grinding it up from the bottom. Sure a coach will improve your skills at .10/.25nl or .50/1 limit, but you shouldn't have to pay too much for it, and there are many other ways to learn about beating those games. Books, videos, and of course the forums here are all quite relevant and solid ways to improve low-stakes play. As you move up in stakes, those resources decrease in availability or become more questionable in content, and thus the most trustworthy and dependable learning will come from somebody who has been there before you, and knows how to beat the game like barry bonds knows how to hit a baseball. And you won't even need steroids!
The most important thing for any student of the game is that he puts in the hours to really work on his skills. Even with the help of the best private coaches money can buy, your improvement will be measured by the efforts you put into it yourself.
