Hi, I'm really interested in improving my SNG and MTT game. I've played poker for a few years now as a pasttime but only recently started to take it seriously and employ decent bankroll management. I think my MTT game has improved a bit recently and I've recently taken an interest in SNGs. My current plan is to target and hopefully beat the 45 man and 90 man turbo SNGs at a decent level as well as attempting to play well in low and medium buy-in MTTs in the future. One question I have is is there any way to get training from a coach or that without paying coaching fees, I'm just a student and money is tight at the minute so definitely cant afford lessons straight up. How do people with not a lot of money go about getting coaching? I thought maybe giving a percentage of my profits or getting staked might be a way of getting trained but I'm not sure how people go about it so was looking to hear what other people have done and what advice they might have? Thanks!

Have you tried joining a poker training site? If not, it might be something to consider still prior to hiring a coach.

On a limited budget, sometimes coaches will offer staking deals where some coaching is included in part of the deal.

I hate to say it but 'it depends'.
Join the Cardschat pokerstars HomeGames league & hope your team wins the DragTheBar 30-day membership prize! (< if they still have that as one of the prizes?).
It depends on what you're playing. For micro buyin stuff, you might be able to check out some okay free ones online (maybe Pokerstars Pokerschool... but I don't know much about them as I've only watched maybe 15mins. of vids. on there).
Grinderschool used to be cheap (no sign-up fee) and alot of their material was geared towards micro buyins. That might be something to consider?

Some others I don't want to mention as they also have a forum and probably not right to mention/advertise them here on the CC forum.

I think I might have some links to some freebies online. I can have a look.
