If you think like a poker professional and play like a poker professional, you are a poker professional.
This text aims to give you the knowledge and weapons that you need to think like we do. A lot of people understand the rules and strategy of poker, but unless you understand the fundamental theories of the game and how to apply them correctly when the pressure’s on, you’re really just betting on the fact that your opponent is playing worse than you are.
If this text was the only poker book you ever read, you’d think on a level higher than 99% of poker players out there. That’s because we address the questions of the game of poker analytically with science and math to back up all of our assumptions.
Unlike other poker coaches and other video sites, our unique voice speaks to the strategist, to the engineer, to the mathematician, to the philosopher, to those willing and eager to tackle problems bigger than themselves just for the fun of it.
