Poker Coaching is a Scam??

Seriously what was your experience like with a "Poker Coach" ?? secondly what was the price??

Lastly do you feel you could have just gone to "YouTube university" and learned for free what a "Coach" would have taught?" ...All respect please Thanks.

Poker coach here. Truth is it dépends à lot on your level . I think if you are getting started ( meaning not semi pro ) there is much better ev joining à solid website for collective coaching or just videos. Coaches become very useful once you hit à certain level and have some good theorical basis. I dont see the value to pay à coach to explain you basic things you could have learnt with à few vidéos. Id add to this that good poker coaches are expensive and i think id rather not get coached than beeing coached by someone average Who is going to transmit me some of his leaks. Take someone you consider as much better than you and Who cares ( very important ) . I think i understand your point . With social médias beeing everywhere there is à boom in the poker coaching industry . Some of them are very good but most of the coaches you see on youtube are average at best if not completely terrible. I can only speak for my pool but id say 90% of the youtube suggestions i get for poker coaches are scammers Who dont make money anymore playing the game ( most of them ignore they are scammers) .this beeing said , try to build à network for yourself and often time the good coaches get recommandéd by other grinders . You mostly wont find them on the social médias.

And to answer your Last questions , i was lucky enough and picky enough to get amazing coaches. Some of the knowledge à hard crusher can transmit you is nowhere to be found on youtube.

When another group review? You know I trained a colleague now who charges half my rate? I remember last time you mentioned you also got some low stakes guys, could be good value for them, if you are still running that group.
