Default Re: Looking for a coach.

it's a lot of pressure on a coach to teach a player who is already very good. it's much easier to teach someone who likes to open limp with QJo

This is true, and the other problems are coaching takes someone who is both knowledgeable, and a good communicator of ideas and who can do so in simple, understandable ways. Most people cannot. And those who can are probably earning much more than they could charge coaching -- that is, if they even entertained the idea of coaching for profit in the first place. But along with all of this is the huge reason that lots of people who are poker pros, are so because they don't like schedules/set responsibilities, so, they will shy away from coaching because they don't want to have to report to deadlines/expectations of their students who will be expecting their coaching time.
