Free, High-Quality Poker Strategy Content

Pardon the spammy title, but I’ve got some seriously good material to share with you. First and foremost is the second installment in a series of free coaching videos I’m making with Andre Coimbra. Together we review his deep run in a Big $16.50 on PokerStars. This video, nearly two hours long, covers every hand from the moment he late registers to when he makes the final table. In a subsequent video, we’ll discuss the final table specifically.

I also have a new article called Just a Cooler appearing on CardPlayer.com. It’s about how to conceptualize, theoretically, what it means to get better at poker:

“Getting better at poker, finding new value, is about forcing your opponent into more coolers while getting away from more of them yourself and/or making yours less expensive. Thus, you should always be reluctant to write off a loss as “just” a cooler. A cooler for the player you are today may be a hero fold for the better player you will be in the future, and the sooner you recognize it, the sooner you will be that better player. “

Finally, don’t forget that next week’s podcast guest John Beauprez has made available for free a chapter from his book The PLO QuickPro Manual entitled Postflop Warfare. It’s a great introduction to how much room there is for creative play in a game where nut-peddling is often misunderstood to be the correct strategy.
