It is noticeable. It is noticeable that your trainer was a slot machine. I didn't have a coach, but I watched a series of videos for beginners. I think, considering how you play, our free course will definitely not hurt you

Could you expand a little more on the slot machine thing? I'm curious.
In my case, I started playing right after learning the rules, then I watched some videos and practiced more.
Now I'm playing regularly again, so I'll have to learn more theory.

No, I did not have a poker coach starting off my poker career. Infact, I have never had one, might you ask. I always played on my own, I think its the best that way for you to experience bad beats and stuff all alone.

Hello friend, not when I started, but I learned by watching the tournaments on television, analyzing the plays, then different players appeared playing live which was on YouTube and Twitch, there I also saw how they played. That was the beginning of how I started playing with strategy.

Unfortunately, or by Happiness, I never had any coach in my Poker career... I train myself, using the different Poker information...
And Main, I try to have more Poker practice! Because "Pracice Makes Perfectness!"

A coach? lol Most people read books and learned from experience.
There were people that were successful who were willing to train people but it was cost prohibitive for the stakes starting out. Nope just books and those were usually the best sources years ago.
Today they have a lot more training aids to review hands and simulators. People use coaches to go over your results and suggest further ways to improve and that's after you have mastered the things that are common to the general population that takes years to find out about, then study, then gain experience then review the data and so on and so on.
Big waste of time if you go to a coach and they're just going to tell you to learn the basics that you could have gotten from a $5 book written in the 1980s about starting hands and pot odds and whatever.

I didn't have a coach, I studied playing poker myself for a long time, I studied the rules of strategies and searched for all the materials on the Internet then there were few training videos and materials, but now there are poker schools that will teach you money and you will be able to study, there are also a lot of free videos on the Internet in forums so now it's easy for new players to learn poker

I've never paid for a coach before but i'm friends w/ a few people that are coaches themselves... and one thing I have noticed is that a lot of people tend to get coaches way too early in their career. I think it's a pretty huge waste of money to get one unless you have honestly gotten to a point in your career where you just can't figure out how to improve anymore.
