Re: Video coaching vs. hiring a personal coach?

If money is not an issue I don't think there is any question that a good live coach is better.

This is poker... money is always an issue.
This may be a bit technical for some, but the difference as I see it is that training videos are a feed forward process and personal coaching is a feedback one. All that means is that with training videos the coach has to explain the kind of information and strategies that will benefit most players in most situations. If your game is way off or you're a beginner then this kind of training will help you move forward the quickest. Personal coaching allows you to hear from an expert what you are doing right and wrong, and how to improve your own self-analysis as well as your game. If you're in a situation where you just need fine tuning, are looking to move up in limits, or are looking to master a new game then taking a step back with a personal coach is probably the way to go.
