How To WIN The $200,000 Guaranteed!

Dear Alex,

I’ve been learning a lot implementing your material.

It has definitely made me a force at my local card room.

The other week a player at my table (who had position on me on the button!) mucked a hand he wanted to call with.

He shouted across the table after I had opened in middle position, “I just can’t play against you, it’s too difficult to know what to do."

- T.K. from the U.K.

Do you want to know why you haven't won the majors you want to win?

It's not because of bad beats. 

How do you win a major? The answer to that is not simple. 

Until you watch someone better than you win a major you can't know how it's done. There are so many subtleties that no individual hand can teach you. The tournament must be examined from start to finish.

You don't want to learn tournament poker through trial and error. Mistakes at major final tables can cost you $5,000+.

No. You need to watch someone better than you. You need to watch someone better than me.

That's where How To WIN The $200,000 Guaranteed comes in. 

In this 34-episode 17+ hour series, I personally quiz you on every hand of my tournament coach's win. 

Have you learned a ton from me? My coach is even better than me at this game. He will show you the plays that are beyond solid fundamentals. He will show you the bluffs and calls that other pros are too afraid to make. 

In his $200,000 Guaranteed win he loses multiple flips. He takes bad beats. And he still comes back to win $50,000+ in one night.

How does he do it? He has a more subtle game than mine. He's tricky. 

My style of poker is centered around a blitzkrieg offense. I go for the throat and create problems while also staying defensively sound. 

I hired my coach because he is my opposite. He's akin to a Floyd Mayweather. He's so smooth. You can't find weaknesses to exploit. He seems like he is such a tight player. Then out of nowhere he stuns you with a huge bluff or call down. You can never pin him down. That's why he has made millions in profit from tournament poker.  

My coach is also a balanced player. He's well known in the poker world. If he engaged in a 100% exploitative style he would run into issues. He needs to pace other players with checks and bets they're not expecting. He's impossible to pick off. 

I've been begging this guy to let me examine his work for a long time. He finally let me do a training pack based on his $200,000 Guaranteed win. In this 34 episode series, you will be tested in 700+ quizzes. You will find out exactly where you are NOT playing like a top professional. Instead of learning the expensive way on the felt, you can become a top player in your own home on your own time. 

It's not enough to watch concept videos. It's not enough to read a book. You need to practice. No one gets better without practice. 

Are you not getting the results you want in major tournaments? Do you always need a key flip to go further? Do bad beats always take you out? Would you like that kind of thing to continue? Do you want to keep mincashing? Or do you want to have chips you can abuse people with? Do you want flips and bad beats to bounce off you? 

If you keep doing the same thing you will keep getting the same results. If you want to keep mincashing and not getting the results you want then you need to keep doing the same thing. If you want to get better you have to practice with someone better than yourself. 

More importantly, practice should be fun! It should make playing poker more enjoyable. No one wants to feel at the mercy of coinflips in tournaments. If we are preparing correctly then we should be having fun in practice AND on the felt.

If you have ever watched a training video of mine then you know what I'm talking about. You're not going to learn anything from hearing me blather about how smart I am. You're going to learn by testing yourself constantly on new hands! You're going to learn to approach poker like the fun game that it is. We are going to have a great time learning dynamite  No Limit Hold'em through my trademark in-your-face entertaining teaching style.
