Look at all the training sites teaching you how to play, yet how many can beat NL 1000?
You honestly think if Ivey would teach you you would make him make less cos you would be able to compete with him?
If you would tell me all your secrets how you study the game i could maybe get as good as you after a while.
Sure you can readjust but so can i and you know who wins even more over the longrun, the rake!
But if you give me only ABC advice like in most videos and dont give me the weapons to solve problems on my own (a few videos do that) or inventing new tactics on my own, then i guess i couldnt because i had to watch a ton of videos and would fall asleep while doing that.
But then your coaching isnt really worth as much as i think it is, maybe that is the trick what makes coaching attractive. The students overestimate the value of the abc advice.
I dont think Ivey would ever tell someone his secrets, thats why he is the best, he keeps his secrets. If he would tell me his secrets, maybe i could compete with him after a few years, the only difference is the intelligence and the experience after he told me his secrets.
