Our goal at LearnWPT is to help players of all skill levels succeed in improving their play in cash games and tournaments.

We continue to be overwhelmed by all of the feedback we receive from LearnWPT Members!

Not only about the success they’ve been having at the poker tables since joining or attending a Live Workshop (which is great!), but more importantly how they are improving their play by studying and implementing the LearnWPT game-plan!

Unfortunately we don't have room to post all of them, but here's a quote from LearnWPT.com Member and Live Workshop Student, Yves F. from West Vancouver, CA when we asked about his "AHA" poker moment:

"Actually, it was the day after the last day of the Borgata LearnWPT seminar.

I went down to the Borgata NL $1/$2 table and bought in for $100. I started playing my old game, and in 30 minutes I saw situation I should have played using LearnWPT that would have yielded a positive result.

I played a hand that LearnWPT said I should not, and they did not work well. Down to $40, then $20, ... I bought another $100 determined to apply what I learned.

It really is another world when you have an effective preflop strategy that works with a solid postflop game.

No heater, but solid committed play. A few all ins, some check raises, but solid positional play and my stack went over $700 in three hours. I did take a picture.

I look forward to using these new playing tools in the future."

Congratulations on your poker success, Yves! 👏

As a student of the game, Yves has the LearnWPT mindset that practicing and applying the LearnWPT game plan will put you on the path to success.

Not sure if you played a hand correctly or have a question about your decision? Members can submit their recorded HIT hands to the LearnWPT Pros for analysis of their play and get answers to questions about a specific move or strategy using the Ask a Pro Feature.

Sending your hand in for feedback:

1. Once finished recording your hand, the action will replay and a pop-up will appear noting options for your hand
2. Click the ASK A PRO button to submit your hand for analysis
3. Enter a title, your question or comment, and click the SEND YOUR QUESTION button
4. That's it! The LearnWPT Pros will provide feedback shortly

"I started playing poker in 2015 with very little knowledge, no understanding and absolutely no strategy.

That year, I finished 2nd in the first live tournament I entered, pocketed $347 and had no more success for the rest of the year.

I entered 2016 with the same arsenal of skills, played 12 tournaments and cashed a grand total of $400. Then I decided, prodded by the WPT commercials with Mike & Vince to join LearnWPT.com.

The following month I rode my Top 6 lessons; 2-Preflop Raise Sizing, 3-Preflop Calling, 6- Multiway Pots [Number of Opponents], 8- Board Texture, 11- C-Bets and 16- Position to a satellite tournament win on-board a cruise ship.

I won a second cruise valued at $3800 and a $750 entry into the $100,000 tournament on the new cruise. I was amazed at the difference just a few lessons had made in my understanding of Hold-em. I now had the beginnings of an actual strategy!

Last Year, I played 71 tournaments, mostly in Las Vegas. I won 11 of them and added 8 more cashes. My total winnings for 2017: $4296

Thank You Nick Binger, Thank You LearnWPT.

The bottom line?
Without LearnWPT - $747
With LearnWPT - $8296
