It's a good point most people don't realize until after.
Here is the basic problem with coaches that don't show graphs. You have to go off word of mouth, right? How else could you possibly figure out if a coach is worth the money or not.
The problem with word of mouth?
It's demographic targeted.
Go look in the coaching forum right now, 90% (maybe higher?) of reviews of the coaches have positive reviews. How is this possible? Is every coach Linus Love reincarnated?
It's because you are asking someone worse at poker to review someone better at poker, obviously the worse player is going to give the better player a good review the vast majority of the time.
This is why poker reviews don't work. Like AT ALL.
The only true metric is a graph of results and hopefully a recent graph. And even that has variance involved.
