Anyone have any good or bad experiences? I feel I've learned all I can from books and am not progressing like I want to. Thinking of getting coaching.
This probably depends on what your goals are. You would need to define those first. I think, to answer your question generally, you probably just need to enroll in one of the dozens of online course packages some of the professionals offer. While they won't be coaching you directly in that case, they will be providing relevant content (videos, documents, charts, etc.) that will help you improve your game. I've tried two so far and they've both been helpful.

Like Bellicoso says, it depends on your goals, and I’ll add your bankroll as well.
If you’re enjoying playing $1 SNG and have a $200 bankroll, it probably won’t make sense to spend $50 getting coached.
If you have a $2k roll and want to play semi-pro, then coaching might be an excellent investment.
Here’s a question in the meanwhile: Why do you feel like you’re not progressing? What areas do you need help in? Maybe we can offer some help/ideas in this thread!
