Very nice coaching. The two hands Blackfear underlined were indeed really interesting.

Thank you for the great feedback everyone. We will try to bring out the coaching in video format so that those that missed it can also benefit from it. First we have to see to what extent it will be possible to integrate holecard viewing into the video though 
Get the gold status and you will have access to the video and the next possible coaching. 
I think most players did not adapt very well to the splashy preflop game which for some reason emerged.
As a result, it was like playing 0.50/1 with 25BB stacks, thus reducing the postflop game to a minimum.
Choosing NL25 was in my opinion one of the mistakes which lead to such a preflop "dynamic". I strongly believe that if they were playing something like 1/2 NL, the players would have adapted more correctly, respectively they would have adapted at all.
I just remember some commentary which was like "I'm so bored, I will 3-bet my 53o here", "I raise K8s from UTG because I'm bored", "player xy raises, I 3-bet with 72s because it looks so pretty" and stuff like that.
Although it was funny to see some hyperaggressive preflop game, the coaching did not fulfill its original purpose, which should be to teach people how to play.
Nevertheless in the very few postflop situations, there was some sick leveling going on, which clearly showed, that there actually is potential in such a coaching, if just the players would manage to adapt accordingly.
It was like everyone was playing their usual "put as much pressure on my opponents preflop"-game and everyone was thinking, they were one step ahead of their opponents, but in fact they weren't because everyone was doing the same things.
I hope this makes sense, since I'm having a hard time writing in English :/

I agree it would be cool to have such a coaching at 200nl, so that the BI is somewhat meaningfull to the coaches.
i missed it also, but imo...
pokerstrategy pays a $ prize to the coach who makes the most during the coaching, or something along those lines.

A format where only the winner gets paid for the coaching!
The problem is, that I don't think there will be so many coaches to play on a limit 'that hurts' against five other coaches, where they must assume, that their edge isn't that great
