[Closed] videos from coachings

i was thinking the exact same thing! i would watch them all.. BUT

the coach will answer a lot of questions asked in the chatbox.. and if you are watching a video.. it wouldnt make any sense at all

unless you pop up those questions that the coach asked in the video.. just requires a little video editing!

as the coach usually repeats the question before he answers I see no problem in this...

I've made some vids of gervs SSS coaching.
The idea is good. realization a bit harder, since the files are 1GB+

I meant the coaching videos would be on pokerstrategy web site in video section recorded by coaches and uploaded by pokerstrategy. But uploading already made videos is also a good idea.

My first thought was that as soon as we do this people will (automatically) think ''In 30 minutes coaching X starts but wait PokerStrategy records this so I can watch it on my own convenience so I guess I go and drink some Guiness''

What happens is that at some point there is no solid coaching anymore with interaction, questions to learn from

Also a coaching is more than just seeing how the coach plays, it is also a platform where you can discuss hands, talk about theory, have some fun etc.

I'm not really thrilled about this suggestion but I am also not really against it.

Agreed, also live coachings contains a lot of dead time and space and quite a bit of non poker-related stuff sometimes which makes it even less attractive to put out as a video.

Making a video built up as a coaching could be more of an idea but you have to structure it a bit and it would be more like a pre-made script then just in coaching format.
But then again we loose all of the interaction-part which is what makes the live coachings so good and different from videos as gerv said.

Thanks Gerv and z4tz for your explanations - I'll also pass this thread on to my colleagues from the Education department, let's see what they have to say

Hello Folks,

I know a lot of you would like the idea, to watch recorded coachings. But we decided against it, in the past, since the uniqueness a coaching offers, goes away, when you watch is as a record. The big advantage in participating in a coaching, is being able to be actively involved, to be able to ask question and discuss with the coach, about strategies and lines.

And if you can not participate in a coaching, their is always a next week.

Otherwise its more like a normal live session video.

Kind regards,
Berliner
