Poker coaching

I've been playing for about a year now with some success. At this point I'd like to get a poker coach. I've heard of a couple of sites that do this via the web. Has anyone used PokerXFactor or realpokertraining.com? If so any suggestions?

I don't know about those sites, but 2+2er JoeTall does coaching, and some people have posted good reviews. Also, Ed Miller says on his site (www.notedpokerauthority.com) that he will be putting up a list of teachers he recommends, so I'd look for that.

Is he more limit or MTT's? I'm looking for an MTT coach.

I think Joe Tall focuses on ring games. Maybe Ed Miller will include coaches for various poker forms when he puts his list up. I personally don't play many MTTs so I can't recommend anyone. Sorry.

My coach john with pokerzion.com is actually a great coach. He's been focusing a lot of his material on ring games, but he also a lot of information and coaching towards MTT. He's free you should check out the site.

so he coaches you and he gets your rake in return?

No it's an affliate thing. I think he get paid by getting new people to sign up on a site at a flat rate, for each player he gets paid so much. They like the idea because winning players stay longer. So i guess the only downside is no rake back but then again i play .50/1 so it's not to significant and some sites don't do rake back. Don't know what i'd do with out his tutoring though really helped me out a butt load.
