Session Duration

1 hour 30 minutes

Introduction: This is for highly experienced players who want to surgically fine-tune their preflop games to the real world. Each session is meticulously prepared to provide immediate and substantial value. Much of the materials covered are not publically available

We will apply nodelocks to real-world scenarios and examine optimal adjustments to opponent-specific and population tendencies. We're venturing beyond textbook theory to tackle the messy real-world grunt work - the kind that differentiates theoretical knowledge from applied skill


Features:

Here is a sample list of topics I've reviewed. They are highly practical topics that you frequently come across at the table:

  • The effects of chipEV range in a light-ICM scenario
  • The impacts on short-stack ranges due to uneven stack distribution
  • How does BB antes affect jamming range, when future-game is considered?
  • Simplified heuristics for chip leads (2x, 2.5x, 3x avg) on the bubble and on a final-table
  • What are the optimal responses to villains who under 3b?
  • What are the optimal strategies vs villains who over-fold to 3bet?
  • Blind-versus-blind nodelocked deepdive
  • Limping strategies. Split-range RFI (two-sized)
  • Max-late reg ranges

I am also available to create experimental research for your chosen topics. Consider me your research partner


Philosophy: The key to poker isn't just in knowing the strategies; it's in applying the right one for you and the situation at hand. We'll explore how different approaches can lead to similar success and then fine-tune them to match how you play and what you're up against. It's about adapting to both the table dynamics and your personal style, ensuring you're equipped to make smart decisions that naturally fit your game
