This is sort of a function of where you live. If in the US for example, there are still several sites that do not cost you any monthly fee.

If outside the US, the idea of paying a monthly fee should send most players over the moon.

If you understand your game, and want coaching, search for coaching here, and we can refer you. If, at this point you do not understand how you play poker, then pick a site, and play 10,000 hands of play money poker (which you should endure to beat the bad beats notion out of your thinking).

So our first question is, what nation do you play from?

I'm obviously partial since I'm a mod on their forum, but I have to recommend DragTheBar. A CC partner/sponsor with a great CEO and a ton of good coaches. Their promo deals are pretty sweet too.

OK, you have pretty much the whole online poker world including the Stars Poker School, which is free, and probably several other site's online schools which are free. Free is always a reasonable alternative. DO not discount the free schools they offer. None of them will make you a pro, but all of them will force you to focus on basic to mid level poker table concepts (both ring and tourney). Once you feel comfortable that you could ask a pro a valid, specific question, AND understand the answer, you will be ready to fork over your hard earned cash to get personalized training that you can benefit from.

You have not shared with us what your experience level is, nor what you would hope to gain by paying for training.

I put this all this way because I am sure there are folks with deep pockets who have been enamored by the pro poker (perceived) lifestyle, who don't know diddly about poker but are sure they can buy a fast track education of poker.

I'm of the opinion that yes you can accelerate the learning process, dramatically even, but that you still have to put in the hands, and time, and thought and effort to understand what it is you are trying to learn.

There is a wealth of knowledge here at CC about how to get to be a mid-level (profitable) player, and it is all free. Start with the strategy Articles button up top. Do not take any of this as my disapproval of coaches. Far from that, I approve wholeheartedly, and only wish I could afford one (or 2 or 3). But to get the most bang for your buck from a coach, you want/need to be prepared.
