🏫 🧠 MIT’s two poker courses, “How to Win at Texas Hold’em” and “Poker Theory and Analytics,” are free. There is a lot of value here, and I’m changing my LinkedIn to say I graduated from MIT!
📺 Excellent 15-minute video from Nathan “BlackRain79” Williams with nine quick poker tips that “Every Serious Player Should Know.” We particularly like Tip #3.
♠️ Exploitative players will, of course, benefit from understanding the basics of GTO. This article and video are great places to start.
📺 Short of time? Daniel Negreanu's YouTube shorts give both beginner and advanced tips - all in a matter of minutes:
The Squeeze … Even with marginal hands
Polarizing Bets … Control how opponents perceive your range
Expected Value … Minus EV plays can lead to great exploits
GTO vs. Exploitative … The Leveling War
Optimal Range … I know what you think you know

💰DNegs lost $2.2 million in 2023. But he has a plan, and it’s working (see his 1st and 2nd at the PGT)! Negreanu has thought a lot about his leaks - have you?
📺 The history of poker — all in a five-minute video.
 | 🤖 How will artificial intelligence change poker? Here’s an excellent overview. We’ve just started training our own PokerGPT (using PXF videos and GTO concepts). If you have ChatGPT+, please try it out and send feedback by responding to this email. It is getting smarter every day! |
🤥 Poker pros are getting sick and tired of online poker bots. Catch up on this latest poker scandal: 2+2 where it started; Moneymaker’s Bot Challenge backfires; Charlie Carrel’s shocking video; Polk’s Overview; Solve for Why has spent hours on it; and 888 refunds players cheated by bots. This story isn’t over. Prediction: This is bad news for unregulated poker sites unless they take decisive action quickly.
 | 📚 Reading Elliot Roe’s new book, A-Game Poker, is the easiest and fastest way for you to improve your game. Period. The pros who love Roe include Phil Galfond, Brian Rast, Jason Koon, Alex Foxen, Matt Berkey, Fedor Holz, and many others. Still now sure? Just go to the book page on Amazon and read the first five chapters for free (via the Read Sample option). |
That’s all for now. Here's to making every hand count!
