poker is a game where great players at least make good coaches

I wonder how good lilholdem is at coaching. Of course, yall gonna say that he ain't nothing, but then this whole statement is moot, because "greatness" in this game is not defined at all.

I wish I had someone to point me in the right direction, but I am not paying $3K for 10 hours of dubious value. And being coached for just a few hours doesnt seem like it will accomplish much anyway.

I'm sure lil hold'em would be a fine coach:

Student: Lil, what do I do here?
Chad: Bitch please, we went over that [censored] yesterday.
Student: But I don't remember.
Chad: Raise, fool.

How many hours does someone think is needed to make a good impact? On MTT's on AP this year I have a pretty good ROI but I find myself often making errors in late stages when stacks aren't real deep but making an error in a hand basically kills you. I have considered a coach to shore up my weaknesses, but all in all am a competent MTT player. I just have trouble seeing 3,000 dollars being a good investment, but am unsure how long people think is needed on average.

I realize this is all subjective, and people will take different times.. just curious about people who have coached in the past and how long they spent on average. I generally play from 10's to 50's right now, with occasional shots at the higher buy ins. I think I'm real close to being a very very good MTT player, just need a little help in finishing.

I was gonna say I charge 250 hour but to be honest from skimming this thread Deeb is the best deal at 75/hour for online lessons.

If anyone's in the DC area and wants a live sweat/watch me play all the Sundays pm me and we can work something out.

Or if you donkament guys want to learn to play cash holla at me. I've been doing real well at 5/10 and 10/25 lately, and have helped get a few people to beat 2/4. Currently helping some 2/4 players move up.

chim,
I think 2 or 3 lessons (at about 1 hour each) can be really helpful depending on a player's skill level. First lesson is sort of just feeling stuff out, but second and third I usually spend plugging gigantic leaks and explaining concepts that come up again and again.

Also, even at 300/hour, 3k buys a ton of coaching. You don't seem to realize how much 10 hours of coaching is.

Your second point is totally fair. I don't really know at all how much would actually be accomplished. That's kinda what I was trying to feel out.

I personally am willing to pay $300 or more for a coach. I am looking for a very strong player as a coach, and I would be interested in more very high end coaches posting.
