Re: FGators: The Final Chapter [1.4m hands EV graph]
Okay, the reasons why I don't get coaching
A) I think its really creepy/homosexual (not that there is anything wrong with that) to do over this Skype thing. The day I start talking to strangers over the internet is the day I start saying I'm mentally messed up. B) the pricing is ridiculous. I'm supposed to be paying $200+ an hour to play $1/2 NL. something doesn't add up. I have been an avid tennis player and I used to pay $40 an hour from a coach that was one of the top ranked players in NJ and knew tennis inside and out. $200 from some Ivy league kid who I may or may not have done better on the SATs is a little too much for him. I also am 22 and not too crazy about being told what to do from a 20 year old. C) I have access to thousands upon thousands of strategy posts/situations/theory discussions from a compilation of these coaches..I have the time, why not read?

A poker coach can win you money right away. A tennis coach isn't going to win you anything, who cares if he's a top player. When people who take up tennis and a year and a half later are making 6 figures a year, then maybe that coach will get paid better.

[/ QUOTE ] Age should have nothing to do with it - im 23 and id happilly take advice from someone younger if they are actually better. Age /= skill. In fact i watched a couple Stinger vids today - he is 19 and at least 2 years more developed skill wise than me. Also, you didnt respond the other day when this was asked - but are you a member of Cardrunners or a similar site? I suspect given you dont know how the poker vids work. Anyway, if not, then for the love of baby jesus change that. If so watch more vids. Fwiw id recommend Cardrunners well before a coach - and there is no reason you need a coach as such. What you need is to accept you are losing and you need to change your game ground up. In fact i suspect you wont be able to do this given how ingrained your bad play has become - if anything id recommend a new game entirely like SnGs, MTTs or HU Cash - or maybe go in the other direction like full ring and just work uber hard on your post flop.
