I hate answering these questions because they seem like I'm overselling myself and selling myself to begin with is something I don't do well at all.

Yes it would be extremely beneficial. So many players I've coached have horrible habits that I have to try to get them to correct and overcome and if you have a fresh mind so to speak with little to no understanding then you won't develop a lot of crappy habits that cost you money and take time to overcome. I've coached one person who had little to no understanding as a favor to another poker friend. The person in question made pretty solid strides but in the end lacked the dedication and unfortunately poker requires a decent amount of dedication if you want to achieve anything worth while.

So basically to answer your question, yes it's worth it if you are going to be dedicated and work hard, on the flip side if you don't have a bunch of time to dedicate or lack drive then it's probably better to wait awhile.

Hope that helps.
