Poker Coaching and Training For the 2010 WSOP

Poker Coaching and Training For the 2010 WSOP
As this year's WSOP approaches at the end of May, beginning of June, many poker players are seeking to brush up on their games, both online and off. Like a professional golfer, poker players of all skill levels can benefit from time to time by having a professional analyze their poker games. While most poker coaches provide training all year around for poker players, this time of year is the best time to think about getting a few coaching sessions and getting ready for the Main Event which offers life-changing prize money just for reaching the final table!
Some coaches, like big name pros are very expensive and out of reach for your average Joe-poker player. However, you can find deals out there on the net and receive live and coaching one-on-one so that you can really get into working on your game. 1 hour-ish sessions can involve many Q&A's but also usually involve watching a player play a game online and then providing analysis both in real time and after the fact by email. This is an exclusive opportunity to find out what is good and what needs to be improved upon in your poker game. There are classes and groups where you will learn in kind of a lecture format from a speaker, but for your best experience and spend of your money, one on one coaching is the most productive.
Make sure that you pick a coach that you can qualify yourself, meaning; does he teach what you want to learn and in the manner you want to learn it? Do not spend your money on a coach who is not able to give you what you need out of your poker game. Make sure he is available to talk to by email at least, both before and after your coaching sessions. Follow up is most times just as important as the coaching session itself.
The advantage of coaching using internet play is that you can see such a large number of hands and get much more experience and bang for your buck as opposed to live play in a bricks and mortar casino. Whereas you might see 20-30 hands in an hour of casino play you may see 50-100 hands depending on the game you are playing, during online play.
Many times you can find coaches that also provide coaching for games other than No Limit Holdem. Obviously there are many other events being played at the WSOP other than the NL Hold'em Main Event, so players who are looking for help with their Omaha, Stud, Razz, or HORSE games can also find it online.
So, if you are interested in playing at the 2010 WSOP at the Rio in Vegas, now is the time to look into some coaching sessions to help prepare. It is a very small investment for what could be a huge return! This years event promises to have some of the biggest prize pools in years as players come from all over the world to compete. You can bet that many of these foreign born players are working on their game with poker coaches. In order to keep up with the competition, coaching is an almost necessary activity in this day and age.
