Community Courses

Delve deeply into key poker topics in targeted community courses, taught by instructors who know how to play…and how to teach.

Many online sites offer training videos that simply show real-time play with spontaneous commentary from the player, based on whatever happens to occur that session. You have to wade through dozens of videos, of widely varying quality, without a good idea of the specific content covered in each video.

You’ll find that our community courses are different. They are on carefully selected topics, and are well-structured, focused, and complete. Before deciding which courses to take, you’ll have the opportunity to view detailed descriptions and section summaries, so you can see exactly what information is covered. Each is created by the most experienced team of poker educators in the world, pro instructors who have figured out the ideal approach for making high-level poker information understandable and easy to use. You’ll benefit from their experience of teaching and coaching thousands of students, ranging from beginners to successful professionals.

Each month, for as long as you remain a member, you’ll get one community course credit that you can redeem at any time. If you don’t use your community course credit one month, save it for as long as you like—it will never expire.

Topics have been carefully selected to give you the most complete, well-rounded poker education possible. Our goal is to share every nuance of the game with you, from the fundamental to the exceedingly complex.

Our community courses are lively and dynamic, taking you through each concept step-by-step, and illustrating each point with animated hands and clips of hands played on TV. Each community course offers you an in-depth examination of a key poker topic, including a detailed analysis of strategic moves, thorough, high-level investigation of common scenarios, and lessons about the poker software that pros rely on to improve their game.

Once you’ve taken a community course, your exploration of that topic doesn’t have to stop. You can pursue the topic further by visiting the study group for each course that is available on our forums.

Webinars

Participate in a live event with a top pro and get immediate answers to your questions…from the comfort of your own computer.

Community courses are a great resource for improving your game at your own pace, on your own schedule. Webinars allow you to take the process one step further, providing you with a live presentation by a pro, broadcast directly to your computer, with the chance to participate in real time. You can ask questions, respond to the instructor’s questions, and even see how the rest of the class answered.

Webinars give you the chance to experience an even more dynamic and effective poker education, with a level of interactivity beyond anything else in online poker training. The instructor can customize the presentation to the learning needs of the community, and you can get your answers on the spot. It’s the next best thing to being there live.

Our webinars are structured, focused presentations dedicated to a specific topic and targeted to a particular level of skill. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced player, you’ll find webinars geared to your level of poker knowledge. You can also check out our forums, where you’ll find a study group for each webinar to dig even deeper into the topic.

Webinar Library

Target the leaks and gaps in your knowledge by drawing on this continually updated source of new poker information.

Our webinar library gives you access to all of our webinars, including the ones you might have missed or that took place before you joined. Work through material at your own pace, and revisit webinars after you’ve had more playing experience—you’re likely to pick up on new things as your game develops. Also, you can discuss the content in more depth with our study group that is part of every webinar.

Forums

Enjoy high-level analysis, wide-ranging discussion, and the frequent participation of our pros in a dynamic, engaging poker community.

We all play poker for different reasons. Our forums are your opportunity to talk poker with people who are here for the same reasons as you. They give you the chance to engage in back-and-forth discussions with other members about any topic you’re interested in. Find a topic that interests you, read comments posted by others in the community, then post comments of your own. If a topic you’d like to discuss isn’t there, add it to the forum, and start a new discussion.

Many poker forums are a free-for-all, where serious conversations often turn into insult-filled rants, and legitimate questions can be met with mockery. Our forums are different. They’re professionally moderated, making them a safe place for you to post your thoughts and ask your questions. Our moderators make sure that the serious threads stay on topic, so that discussions are productive and you don’t have to deal with any distractions. There are also plenty of lighter topics, where you’re free to post anything you want, and the conversations can go in any direction.

Our pros are active members in our forums, answering questions and weighing in on discussions. On many forums, you have no way of evaluating the quality of the advice you get, whereas in our community, our pros are here to guide you in the right direction.

In our discussion groups, you'll find conversations about all things poker, from advanced poker strategy to the best places to play in Vegas. Talk poker with people who take the game seriously. Analyze interesting hands from tournament blogs. Chat about poker TV shows. Get advice on some part of your game that you’re struggling with. Evaluate poker books and articles. Share your poker knowledge. Participate in study groups. Strategize. Get into a local game. Find a poker buddy. Start a poker league. The possibilities are endless. This is one place where the poker talk never stops.

Our team of top poker educators will share their knowledge on the most crucial topics, giving you quick access to reliable information.
