If value provided based on rate/cost of coaching is you metric for deciding which coaches are allow to have a thread on 2+2, you might want to have a hard look at other coaches.
Also if you are removing Elliot with this logic you are implying everyone listed has you endorsement?
Hi Mike:
You actually raise a good point which I want to address here. We have stated many times on these forums that one of the things we try to do is to steer our users towards those things which we believe are good, whether it's our product or not, and away from those things which we think are questionable.
When working on my psychology book, I became familiar with some of the work of these poker mental coaches and concluded that at best it had virtually no value. Thus we stopped the advertising from both Tendler and Roe, and refunded money that they had paid us for which advertising had not yet run. (Cardner was not advertising with us.)
On the other hand. You'll noticed ads for Upswing Poker on twoplustwo.com. We're familiar with much of their material and think highly of it.
Now this brings us to the rest of the coaches. Here, we don't know one way or the other. So the first time you go to our Coaches Forum where the coaches have their advertising threads, you have to click off on a warning that basically says that anything you purchase you're doing at your own risk.
Best wishes,
Mason
