Did you have a poker coach when you started playing poker?

[yuriko oyama]

my mistakes.

Unfortunately, I have never had a coach in all my poker playing, but I think that playing with a coach will be much more productive and profitable.

 

[Spielkind]

I won some coaching weekends in 2010 and 11 in freerolls at party poker....was a good time. Former Pro Bodo Sbrezny and Stefan Kalhamer teached me.

 

[Grzegorz00pl]

No!

I don't have a coach also now.

But I am looking for (I was watching at YT - polish Pro Player: https://www.youtube.com/@KtoBylPierwszy, who adviced that). Moewover I was asking (will (could) he be my coach? Is it even possible?) few players, and chatting to them, during Freeroll Turnament 🍳

 

[lyki67]

No. Time and life are my coaches trough games I play....

I watched how others, my friends, played, asked them questions, discussed various points and in general I learned in the process of playing, learned from my own mistakes. I didn't have a coach, and I certainly wouldn't want one, unless such a coach agreed to work with me and teach me for free. I definitely wouldn't pay money for coaching and training. It's not greed, I'm just thrifty

Never had a coach. Did tune into Sky poker channel. That gave good insight into the game for me starting off in the game. A lot of examples of hands etc and special guests who were poker professionals.

After using several online training sites, I got a poker coach.

I think its good to have the basics down before you hire a coach.

I really think it helped me progress as a player.

I watched my father playing with friends from afar and when he didn't understand, he asked my father's friends, my father was against learning

 

[AzdajaD]

Yes, my fantastic grandfather! 😀❤

 

[Falzee]

Just watching Mike Sexton! He died much too young.

I never had a coach, because I only play as a hobby, but I think if I had a coach I could become a player with better results.

 

[Jedrey]

No, I learned everything myself, reading and watching videos.

 

[TulasMoreno]

When i started i was my own coach but now ive been coached by one, best decision ever.

 

[MF.Brn]

I started out on my own, my coaches were the videos I watched on YouTube.

 

[Dasha_21]

I've never had a coach, I just watched a video on YouTube

 

[Recreationalplayer]

No coach.. But did do some tutorials to understand the theory..

 

[Anders1616]

No, but I had a friend that gave me some advice.

 

[Fushicho]

It was my mum and dad that taught me to play Poker and lots of other cards games. They were both very good card players, my dad was an international Bridge champion.

 

[rufininha14]

No, I started playing alone and of course I realized that I needed a little knowledge about the game, so I looked for explanatory videos, studied, etc.

 

[olejean]

I believe that our brain should be our poker coach.

 

[nellorossi83]

No... i saw some videos on youtube, but many different players

 

[Misanthrop]

Unfortunately I never had a coach. So I can't blame nobody for my poor decisions

 

[ztibor72]

While I was playing as a hobby, I didn't have a coach.
When I started playing poker more seriously, I had my own coach who taught me the basics of HyperHU.
Later, I also had a coach in the backing team, with whom we analyzed my mistakes.
If someone wants to earn money or make a living from it and is not super talented, then it can be useful.

When I started playing poker my coach was my curiosity to learn. For me, who only plays recreationally and as an amateur, if I had to pay a coach it could be very expensive. But whoever has money to invest, I think they should do so.
