Ok let me repeat this once more: I removed you from AIM in a week after we had our session since you simply said I should occupy your spot with somebody else, then I didn't hear from you in some days and didn't expect to either; thus I removed you from aim and I have not received any AIM-messages from since that date. I might have blocked you or something while removing you, I'm not that familiar with how aim works, but either way, I did not ever receive any AIM-messages, and as for the PMs, I have no recollection at ALL of those; I do not reply to all my PMs, but I read them all, and I have no recollection whatsoever of somebody (you) voicing any dissatisfaction after we finished our week. In fact, I do not recall any interaction between us at all ever since I removed you on AIM a few days after you said I should get somebody else to take your spot.

I've never asked anyone for feedback, and it's not comme-il-faut for me to do so at all, for me there has never been any "normal way to constructively criticize a coach after a session", I just expect my students to approach me if it's something they have to criticize or ask about, and those that do have done so. I never needed/wanted any feedback, I just except that as long as people dont tell me something is wrong, then nothing IS wrong.

Don't write "we should go about voicing our displeasure when there is no way to contact you after our sessions" when there is no we, except for those two apparent douchebags that are too much of chickens to stand up for their views and present them here in public or at least approach ME in private with them.

As for the pissing contest; no need to go any further with this, understand that I become angered when you said it took time to get back to your A-game again, that is insinuating that I somehow removed you from your A-game. No, I am not the perfect coach and I definitely improve/have room to improve, but yeah I can say with some confidence that I'm fairly sure that my style is not flawed, and that if yours is that much different from mine, then yes, I will say with full confidence that in comparison, your approach to poker is definitely flawed. However, that's that.

Now; you two guys that apparently PM:ed G_Dollaz...you should be ashamed of your behaviour. You do not have the courage to post your views in here; fine, but that you do not approach me in private and that you are explicitly stating that your names are not to be disclosed makes me feel sick.

What's the probability that G_dollaz is just making up that 2 guys pm'ed him? (this is not a comment against you dollaz, but I just think the way you worded/stated the situation, it just seems like you just made them up to back up your case.)

I mean if say that G_dollaz makes that post, and then MDMA replies the way he does, and I thought that MDMA was a bad coach, I'd just QFT your post or just shut up and not say anything at all but I doubt anyone would PM you saying I agree with your views. What purpose does that serve at all?

Also, please take this drama bombing into PM.

Thanks

Lol, so now this goes from me not having a great experience w/ MDMA but not ripping him @ all, to me having to defend myself from making up fake PM's that people sent me. This is a [censored] joke. Keep in mind that if you read my original post, I said nothing that was meant to be even the slightest bit disrepectful nor did I bash MDMA in any capacity. After seeing the way MDMA blows everything so [censored] far out of proportion I now understand why they probably didn't want to make their feelings known. I've been posting on here long enough that I think most people know I'm not making this [censored] up, I've always posted graphs/screenshots that have backed up my claims when it comes to anything I've posted, I will not out the people who PM'd me however b/c they asked me not to.


As far as MDMA is concerned, you can think what you want both about me trying to contact you afterwards and about your flawless coaching methods. I did not voice my displeasure in the PM after our session b/c I did not want it to seem like I was attacking you nor did I want it to come across that I felt ripped off by the whole situation b/c that was simply not the case. I also made it abundantly clear in my first post in this thread that I felt you tried to do a good job but it simply didn't work out, I just asked that you contact me somehow so we could talk, it never happened, I posted my thoughts in this thread, which again, WERE NOT BASHING YOU, and now that's the end of it....

i'll be honest, i'm fine with MDMA and everything, and i somewhat understand where he's coming from and i don't knwo the facts, but i must say i really like the way G Dollaz has come off in the thread. i really think he's handled himself better, i think the first one post was more pedestrian than most made it out to be.

just to get this thread back on track and give my own opinion r.e: MDMA. he coached me for abut 5 months where I went from 2/4 - 10/20 in basically consecutive months and I learned a TON. we stopped after that andI had another good month pretty soon after:



clearly he was holding my back by the 10/20 stage but w/e, great guy in my experience and an excellent coach.
