How can I find a good online poker coach?

Hi,


I want to take my online poker game to the next level, and I think it's time to get a coach.


As you know, there are tons of people who claim to be poker coaches,


How do I know they are not just gonna throw some things they learned from a book at me and take my money?


How do I select the best coach for the best price?


I play Sit N Go Tournaments.|||Try having a good coach which will teach you all the basics and the new and advanced methods. But instead try your game on free online casino provider sites also, like FullTilt Poker and PokerStars but on their .NET domains. As the .COM domains are the real money games provider sites.





An free online poker site will become a best coach at best price.





Read the reviews of some good poker rooms at http://www.casinosdiary.com/poker-rooms/|||I think taking private poker lessons are basically meaningless, unless you find the perfect coach. A friend of mine took lessons from a guy with one of the best stats around. This guy was a mid-high stakes SNG player. He obviously did not know what's in the mind of low-mid level players and his game strategy had nearly no chance of success at the stakes my friend was playing.





I think best way to improve your game is playing more games yourself, reading hand histories, reviewing your mistakes and reading some discussions on specific hands posted at forums like 2+2.. Nothing is like experience, and it's not like you'll certainly lose money trying that.|||It's tough to find the right coach for you. I would recommend signing up for trials at a few of the coaching sites and then finding somebody who plays alot of SNGs that you can relate to. There are many different styles of SNG player and you need someone that can relate to your style. Some of the better training sites include Card Runners, Leggo Poker, Poker Savvy, Deuces Cracked, Blue Fire Poker, Grinder School.|||I make over 50 dollars an hour playing low limit poker online, I usually play an hour at a time, sometimes I make a few hundred sometimes I break even, and sometimes I lose but overall I make that much an hour


, its VERY easy I can do it without doing much thinking these days, I make more than my lawyer friends and doctor friends and they envy me because I work when I want. I dont even consider it work.


Sometimes I goto the casinos and play and its always like printing money..





If you want assistance with this I can be contacted at imighthaveit at gmail dot com|||You are absolutely right that there are a lot of coaches who are bad, break even players, didn't play much poker and teach how to play.





To be honest even on the card runners a lot of coaches are break even or barely making money. When you find a poker coach ask him to show him the actual and recent winnings record to confirm.





If he will refuse, saying something about his credibility, who he is and bla bla bla... big chance he doesn't make money. Or if he made some money it was long time ago... when the game was different.





Hopefully you are playing with the poker rakeback? If not it's the common mistake between novice poker players and it's really to fix it. Poker rakeback is basically a free money to your pocket while you playing online poker.

Hope that helps


And good luck to you at the tables ;)|||Ok here are two good links. I know that Haseebs Qureshi videos are excellent. I have watched some of them myself. But, I did not want to pay the fee to join Cardrunners. Last time I checked it was $225 for a year and out of the trial videos that they showed only Haseebs videos were any good. The rest were a bunch of 18 year old guys talking about pussy and eating corn dogs, and talking about how good they were going to do at next years WSOP, and how they were going to get laid. Sorry, but these guys get paid to teach and I watched a 10 minute vid to learn poker, but all I learned was that they liked blonds with big ****. But I see now that they have added more instructors, so you can probably weed out the idiots.

But, if I was going to sign up and pay for a site now? Phil Galfond is the man. His training site is below. Problem is he plays cash, you said you play SNG's. Even though he is one of the best in the world--he is still underrated. Even Durrrr gave him huge respect and out of all people in the world, Dwan said that Phil was the only person who he would NOT play in his Durrrr Challenges on Full tilt.

So now you just have to figure out, will Bluefire help with SNG's or will Cardplayer meet your needs? Play with both sites and see. Good luck.
