Free pro poker training, anyone?
Monday, 26 August 2013
PokerWinners.com shares the knowledge.
PokerWinners.com is a new online poker community that offers training for free, brought to you by the people behind pokerstaking.com. As operators of one of the top staking sites in the business, the team have worked with thousands of players, building up a vast amount of knowledge about poker strategy and the requirements for a player to be successful long-term. And now they’re going to train you for free, enabling you to learn from others’ mistakes rather than your own.
As a PokerWinners member, you’ll receive a tip of the day each day designed to improve your win-rates in a short time frame. There will also be daily strategy content from big-name players, led by our very own Jeff Kimber, including the likes of Praz Bansi, Stuart Rutter, Peter Eastgate, Andreas Hoivold, Simon Deadman and Marc Wright.
Beyond that, Poker Winners aims to bring winning players together through strategy forums and a weekly radio show.
“If you look at any of the players who have had success on the big stage over a prolonged period, they are part of a close-knit group of serious poker players,” says Director Mike Copley. “It’s no coincidence. To be successful you need to have a group of like-minded individuals around you to bounce ideas off and to discuss strategies. It's the best way to improve your game and your thought processes.”
There’s also added value up for grabs, with over $15k of freerolls on a monthly basis for members. Players also earn PokerWinners points (PWPs) in addition to the best deals for every poker room promoted through the site. The more PWPs you earn, the higher your VIP level, and the more access you’ll get to high-level strategy content and freerolls. You can then spend the points you earn in the PokerWinners shop to buy one-on-one coaching sessions from coaches or other PokerWinners products.
Over the coming months they’re launching a network of websites including PokerEvents.com, PokerForFree.com, PokerAffiliates.com, PokerDeals.com, StakingPoker.com, and PokerUpdates.com, with the ultimate aim of providing their members with everything they need to be successful at poker – and all completely free of charge.
Poker Winners Tip
Regardless of your ability and history, it’s essential to put a plan in place so you can document where you think you can improve and where you want to go. Even if you play recreationally, rather than trying to earn a long-term income from poker, set yourself targets. Improving as a player isn’t just going to happen, you have to be proactive about trying to improve and putting it on paper will help to focus you on improvement.
Things to document:
• What are your strongest games? (MTT, SNG, CASH / NLHE, PLO, etc.)
• What is your effective bankroll? (How much are you willing to invest in poker long-term?)
• How often do you want to play?
• Realistic targets for the number of games you will play over the next four weeks?
• How can you try to improve? (Books / articles / videos / coaching / self-analysis)
• Which areas of your game do you feel you need to improve?
By taking the time to think about a plan for the month ahead, you are already doing more than 99% of poker players and starting to gain an edge over your opponents.
