Today in cc game you call a pre flop all in 100 blinds with 42o. Reading this answer, and watching your 10k games just in 888poker, my surprised face when I saw the 42o showdown turned into a mix of laughter and pity

I think players have to look at their current game. If they are satisfied with playing up to low stakes games (cash and MTT) and are reading, watching you tube, taking free online courses like CC offers and your future goal is to mainly have fun and maybe make a few bucks, a coach would be an expensive waste of money. Some folks though have the skills, the desire, the ambition, and courage to want to go all the way, then a coach would probably be money very well spent. I as a recreational player fall into the first category. I read, I watch, I play and maybe just maybe I will improve my game. Good luck to you though if you have asperations of moving onward and upwards!

I don't need a coach. Despite the fact that for me poker is just a hobby, nevertheless I have quite good results and if I wanted to I could be a coach for others.

In my opinion the best use of a poker coach is to plug leaks.
What do I mean?
We all need someone to examine our game and ask why we limped or raised there.
The reason we have leaks is that we don't see our mistakes.
If you can just double the size of the usual pot you win everytime you win a pot....that would be a huge improvement!
Plugging leaks is very difficult to do on your own....identifying the leak and then solving it - we all need help with these things.
Good luck !

I agree, and it would be even better to have a top coach as a friend.

Youtube has poker coaches that give a large amount of coaching for free. Start there, and if you find someone who makes you feel comfortabe with their methods, you could think about paying them to coach you.

Hi
A good coach needs a good salary. I would agree to a trainer who could train with me for free, but I have no such desire to invest my money in training

Hello. As they say, different strokes for different folks. I suppose it all depends on who you are and how you feel about the game. Yes, I wouldn't mind having a coach , self-taught- that's good, but when you have an outside perspective, especially a qualified one, it's a whole different story. I like our forum, you can find a lot of good advice here, but a coach brings a completely different approach. For serious engagement with the game, they are simply necessary.

Yes, it would certainly be great to work with a coach who will point out your mistakes in the game, which you probably can't see for yourself, and who can adjust your opening range and overall style of play. He might even say that I'm playing the wrong game at all.
