SSNL coaching a good christmas gift?

[Plus1Plus1]

Hey all,

I have a friend who currently struggles to win at poker. He tries very hard, and wants badly to win - but a cardrunners membership hasn't helped, and he continues to struggle.

I was considering getting a couple friends together, and proposing getting him a coach for a few hours or something, since it may be the only learning tool that will help him progress.

Are there any problems with this idea? Obviously, I would do my research on who would make a good coach. The hope would be that he finds the experience useful, and continues with the caoch past the gift-given amount.

Couldn't think of the best forum for this thread, but I thought this was as good as any.

Regards
