I don't seek out videos. Occasionally someone will recommend one strongly, and I give everything a shot. There's gotta be a reason why so many people love them, right? I really liked jballer88's last vids. Disclaimer: I know him IRL so its not an unbiased recommendation. And by "I know him IRL" means he butt dials me because I'm alphabetically the first person in his contacts list. But we're not facebook friends or anything. We met at a local poker club, and he and I were blood villains for the longest time. Like, you think the lesmurphy thing is drama, but I never really got into that battle. But I got into the jballer battle dammit. I was a NIIIIIIIT back then and all of the battles were jballer saying I shoulda shoved (I know now that he's right obv), and me giving a BS excuse to being scared money. I played bad a year ago. But back when I knew him it was just awful.
So yeah, jballer88's SH videos I like.
I've been coached before. Not extended coaching where anyone took me under a wing and made me a protige or anything, but I've paid for several sessions with various crushers and solid players. jballer88 is one, DamnRinger, **********, and I think I got one or two from Newmanmi. I'd recommend DamnRinger first. The others are excellent and solid choices too if you (or lurkers) need a recommendation for a coach.
Its not really a late strong run, as it was me being a bad player for so long. The May 2010 DukeMuscle will be an awful player to the DukeMuscle of 2011 obv.
