How valuable would a $215 coach really be?

[lacky]

I'm tired from travelling and cant read the whole thread, but what I have read I havent seen this addressed, so here goes:

If I pay the greatest violinest in the world, making a bizzilain bucks a year, $30k to teach me, It has very little to do with how succesfully I can play the violin. I would still suck!

Poker ability is tied to an odd mix of intellectual, psycological and emotional ability. You can't buy it. You can work hard to develop it, but the greatest teacher on earth won't turn you into a concert violinest in a month, and they wont turn you into a polished poker pro either. Teaching won't hurt, and might speed the learning some, but your tone shows that your expectations for what a teacher will be able to do for your are wildly unrealistic.
