Jamie Gold has $1k Hourly Coaching Rate
It appears as if Jamie Gold has joined the ranks of the poker coaching elite since hes charging $1,000 per hourly session. The 2006 WSOP Main Event champion has a sign posted somewhere in the Tropicana Las Vegas that gives players details on how they can retain his pricey poker coaching services at the Jamie Gold Poker Room.
People in the poker community have already started in with the jokes on how Golds actual playing ability may not be in line with the fees hes charging. But to me, the funniest part of this story is the sign used to promote his services.
Pokerati, which originally reported this news, made light of the sign by writing, Really … $1k an hour? I mean that’s not quite Carrot Top money, and supposedly Gold’s already had five students pony up … but jeesh … you’d think at that rate they could at least afford a nicer sign!
Indeed the sign does look like something that would be posted outside of a high school bake sale. In any case though, it looks like Jamie Gold is continuing to find ways to make money with the game of poker. And as Pokerati alluded to, he supposedly has five people in line for coaching sessions already.
Since winning the 2006 WSOP Main Event along with $12 million, Gold has continued to put his stamp on the game of poker through appearances and having the Tropicanas Jamie Gold Poker Room named after him. The Malibu, California native has $12,242,748 in live poker tournament earnings, which ranks him 5th on the all-time winnings list.
