there is a difference regardless of how rough sex is between consensual and nonconsensual sex

thanks for making my point bro

lol i must have browsed to much nvg lately because i completely overlooked what you were getting at. my bad and good point. i agree.

Good post. This is why I never charged very much when I was coaching (I think the most I charged was a $100/hr even tho my hourly was quite a bit higher). I just wasnt sure if I could really help the potential student that much even though I was a better player than they were. As for my own coaching experience I would say it was extremely positive (shameless plug for BalugaWhale if anyones curious), so just goes to show there are SOME good coaches out there.

But winrate and money earned is king, and that should always come first when asking the coach about his qualifications.

hey, sorry, haven't been following this thread.

i don't really feel like doing the exact math, but what is 8 bb/100 and 6 bb/100 multitabling 25-50 and 50-100 nlhe? that was the only time i seriously considered being a coach of high stakes players, and it was back in 2006-ish when i was putting in good volume.

my situation has since changed, i've focused on building a business in the industry. i've long thought that it's not appropriate for someone like me to be trying to teach players to beat 5-10+ when i don't put in nearly enough volume to be considered a true reg these days.

if you'll recall, the only true students i've ever had were daut44 and hookem148, both guys i spent hours teaching/talking with and both who have become successful players in their own right. oh, they also paid me nothing.

Someone had the same idea: ratemypokercoach.com got snapped up last month... Thanks for the OP and replies from everyone - was looking into getting more serious in regards to poker and this thread's given me some interesting perspectives on it.

ps: .net and .org are still available

Wow, can you coach me as well? I shall pay you twice as much as they did)
