Unfortunately, I have never had a coach in all my poker playing, but I think that playing with a coach will be much more productive and profitable.

I watched how others, my friends, played, asked them questions, discussed various points and in general I learned in the process of playing, learned from my own mistakes. I didn't have a coach, and I certainly wouldn't want one, unless such a coach agreed to work with me and teach me for free. I definitely wouldn't pay money for coaching and training. It's not greed, I'm just thrifty :)

Never had a coach. Did tune into Sky poker channel. That gave good insight into the game for me starting off in the game. A lot of examples of hands etc and special guests who were poker professionals.

After using several online training sites, I got a poker coach.

I think its good to have the basics down before you hire a coach.

I really think it helped me progress as a player.

I never had a coach, because I only play as a hobby, but I think if I had a coach I could become a player with better results.

It was my mum and dad that taught me to play Poker and lots of other cards games. They were both very good card players, my dad was an international Bridge champion.

No, I started playing alone and of course I realized that I needed a little knowledge about the game, so I looked for explanatory videos, studied, etc.

I believe that our brain should be our poker coach.

While I was playing as a hobby, I didn't have a coach.
When I started playing poker more seriously, I had my own coach who taught me the basics of HyperHU.
Later, I also had a coach in the backing team, with whom we analyzed my mistakes.
If someone wants to earn money or make a living from it and is not super talented, then it can be useful.

When I started playing poker my coach was my curiosity to learn. For me, who only plays recreationally and as an amateur, if I had to pay a coach it could be very expensive. But whoever has money to invest, I think they should do so.
