I mean this respectfully as well. I like what you have going on here. Very organized, great graphics. Great thread. Good luck on the journey and congrats so far.
Hello rivercityranson. First of all thanks for your comment.
There are a few things you said here that couldn't be more wrong. I'll explain what I do because I think in the end you'll understand my side better.
First of all, I don't have any students who are "at my level". I play NL25 and I teach players from NL2 to NL25. However, you have to understand that just because a student of mine plays the same stake as me, it doesn't mean he's at the same level. 90% of players who ask for my coaching are losing at the level they are playing. In other words, if you play NL25 and you can't beat that stake, what's the problem in asking for help from a player who plays the same stake as you, plays against the same type of players and is beating that stake 10bb/100?
Lastly is the question of prices. When I was looking for coaching I realize that all the players offering coaching were asking for an hourly rate between $100 to $500.
Obviously for a micro and low stakes player these prices are unrealistic. I can tell you that to this day I haven't even charged 50$ for 1 class. What I offer is the following: a strategy that beats NL2 to NL25; learning from a player who knows the field that you are playing; and I know I don't know as much as high stakes players, so my price is much lower to make it worth taking lessons.
Once again, rivercityranson, thanks for your comment, because you allowed me to explain this. Although you have respect, I know there are other people who won't. Gl at the tables.
