Hi Guys,  I have decided to try something,  I thought it might be of interest to you so I am writing a few Blogs about it. The first one is now up in the Blog Section.  It's just an intro into what I am about to do

Hope you find it interesting.  here's a link to it.  Wish I knew how to make the links just have a name,  they look so much cooler ;o)

    Kinda thought it might be Coxy! Seem to remember you talking about a coach when you were on 865?  I'm sure the coaching will be, if nothing else, interesting? and hopefully productive.  Hope it goes well and looking forward to the blog updates.

    For those of you that have been kind enough to read my first blog, I will be commencing my Training tonight.  

    First session will be two hours,  One hour of me playing and Chris just watching every hand I play and making notes.  Second hour will be Chris and I discussing the hands I played with reference to the notes he made.

    Really Excited about this.  There will be a new Blog within a few days 

    Keeping it calm, Keeping it casual ;O)  

    (For those of you not familiar with this expression I suggest to check out JonPigeon on Twitter )

    gl Pete... you can be assured that if all goes wrong it is always possible to make a retrograde move from JockPorsche back to JockBMW and further to JockVespa.  Painless.

    Would also be interested in knowing how you feel about the 1st lesson?  Nervous, excited, normal, & will you just try & play your normal game etc.   Good luck anyway.

    Great blog Jock, I really look forward to hearing how this progresses.

    Can I ask how much the coaching is costing or would you/coxy rather not say?

    LMAO migh aswell throw  money down the drain, there are great poker vids out there for FREE and, sorry to say, and have better credentials than coxy, although he seems like a super nice guy (after seeing him on the show), im probably going to get slated but i do not recommend paying that ridic money for poker coaching, when as said before its all free on the web, hes havin a laugh imo.

    Awaiting mob, lol...

    coaching is about adapting to the personal needs of the client and can be an extremely worthwhile investment.

    coxys advertised rates are about standard, and as someone who has played him for years, are worth the money considering his success on here.

    i do not agree, think its Bu****** tbh, anyone who is playing 100nl or less do not need coaches, they can gain tonnes of training, talk to pros on other forums for FREE, this is like gambling on the fact that you will make your money back by this "wonderful coaching", not right in my books esp low stake players, its pointless, and i dont like how it is advertised here tilts me tbh.

    you may have a point about it being advertised on here (thats for the moderators to decide tho) but I think you under-estimate the value of having a fresh pair of eyes watch you play and trying to engage with you thru every decision.

    I mean, its possible to pass an A-Level or degree going just by online content/books but there are still teachers/lecturers.

    maybe so, still think its pointless for all micro-small stake players to PAY for coaching (esp for ridic rates) sign up for cardrunners, or the one that daniel neugranu sponsors(or used to sponsor), its whatevers to me really as all of us are adults and can make decisions on our own but i think its funny how no one else pointed out the fact this is stupid, i know coxy has not paraded on the forum advertising this himself,..but still...

    apologies if im being OTT lol

    A tricky one to moderate indeed.

    I was about to remove the links to the coxy site (by deleting the post and post t that quoted it as there is no other way) but I'm not sure.  It's an unclear decision.  Although it's a commercial link there is no conflict of interests with Sky Poker so in a way it's like me posting links to what I would say is a good PC / Monitor purchase in Community Help & Advice.

    So I'll just email Sky Poker and let them decide.

    Either way obviously no commercial spam / rule breakage was intended by the poster.

    I'm sure Peter will be along at some point to answer for himself but as I see it in his very opening post he said "I've decided to try something..."

    He's not saying it will make him an amazing poker player.  But he's willing to try something to move his game forward.

    I'm the worst person for asking for advice, I always want to learn by myself and do things myself.

    But think of all those people paying for guitar lessons, computer programming lessons, painting courses,     driving lessons, etc, etc.  Are they all wasting their time and money as they could do the same on youtube or with a friend on private ground?  Sure they could do it the cheap way, but would it be as effective, quick, useful?

    I play guitar and have been tempted to pay for lessons but i know i would be getting lessons from a professional, i have had driving lessons but not from a stranger with a website but from a reputable company who have had training to give lessons, and if i wanted painting lessons then i would get taught by someone with a  degree in teaching and painting etc same with programming these are all regulated btw, i mean what regulations are there i n place to ensure coxy is qualified to coach poker,..... NONE, you see what i am getting at? i mean who does coxy think he is lol

    i know coxy is a great player and is a very good analyst i know u can get free information like forums etc but imo i think the best way of learning is by playing im sure alot of player on sky poker are self taught things i need to do more is after a session look at the pots i have lost and think could i have played it better i have played for 9 years now and i learn new things each day  has any other high stakes cash players ever thought of mentoring people like yourself scotty77 or timmy d lol raise etc i would think tommy d advise would be very hand as being a teacher and that

    I don't think £20 is bad. Who hasn't lost that much within just a few seconds of sitting at a table?... Just me? Oh...

    Anyway, it's not so bad. Hired a plumber recently?

    If this is possible, then it would be a welcome addition to the forum IMO. Can't see what's in it for Sky Poker though, really, besides a load of problems when someone complains about something.
