How To WIN An Online Bracelet

What kind of poker coach do you want?

Do you want me? Do you want someone who is going to fire you up? Do you want someone who is going to make complex subjects memorable and easy to understand? That does seem valuable given how stressful poker tournaments can be. You want to be able to remember key lessons under pressure.

Or maybe you want an exploitative poker coach. Perhaps you want someone to teach you who has made six figures from exploiting players who NEVER fold. Perhaps you want to learn from a guy who won a bracelet through his exploitative plays.

Maybe you want a successful cash game player to teach you how to exploit players more postflop.

Perhaps you want wildly successful online tournament regs to analyze your decisions?

You might also want solvers to analyze your plays and give you alternative lines.

Finally, you probably will want a live poker coach who can teach you exploitative lines that only work on the actual felt. 

Decisions, decisions. Which poker coach should you go with?

That's a trick question. You should get coaching from every one of these coaches at the same time. You should get all their input.

Does that sound impossible? It isn't.

Carlos Welch and I just spent the last three months assembling a 100-episode package that brings together all this training. 

We created tons of quizzes based on Carlos Welch's MONSTROUS series run which included a bracelet win. We made every hand an actionable test that you can learn from. We then got input from numerous coaches from the industry. During the exams, we tell you what each coach and the solver tells you to do on every hand. You can then compare your work to a murderer's row of poker pros.

Have you ever heard of someone having a HUGE series with cashes seemingly every other day? You think they couldn't get any luckier, but then you're wrong. The next day you check the online updates and they won a freakin' bracelet! How does one person succeed so much in such a short period of time?

Long story short: It's not luck.

Carlos had five cashes along with one bracelet win during the series. Over 100 episodes and countless quizzes, him and I reveal to you exactly how DOMINATING players get their hardware. 

If you can match him play for play in the boatloads of exams you too can dominate prestigious poker tournaments!

But it's going to take practice.

And you're going to have to learn from every coach we put on our panel.

And when you realize in our testing you're doing something wrong then you will need to commit to fixing your leaks. We will tell you exactly how to do that. 

If you do one 30-minute lesson with Carlos and I every day through this pack it will be over three months before you finish all of our exams.

Every day you will get a little better. Every day you use one of our lessons you will get warmed up. You'll play much better during every session afterward!

Carlos and I have teamed up before, but it's not cheap to get us to teach you privately at the same time. It would cost you $400 an hour to get both of us on a Skype call with you. That means 50 hours of private training with us would cost $20,000. If you got a deal from us, it would still run you at least $15,000.

But thanks to the magic of internet, you don't have to drop tens of thousands on training anymore. You can get 50 hours of training with us for $197. That's more than a 98% discount!

But hurry, this deal expires Tuesday at midnight Pacific Time. At that hour, the price of this training pack will jump up to $997.
