What is a Strategy Episode?

Strategy Episode Dashboard.png


We started LearnWPT with the goal to make it as easy as possible for anyone to improve their poker game in their spare time. We did that because the key factor that separates most poker players from winning pros or students of the game often comes down to small, consistent amounts of effort.

We use Strategy Episodes to teach key poker concepts, analyze hands, and answer Member questions about previous Episodes, hands they've played, or any other issue that's holding them back maximizing their poker potential.

Strategy Episodes are presented in short, easy to digest segments usually 10-15 minutes.

Strategy Episode Refine Search - New (1)

Every Strategy Episode is tagged and categorized so you can sort between Cash/Tournament, Instructor, Episode Type, Learning Path, and more. Use the sort and filter to refine Episodes to your specific focus or watch in the order they are released.

Helpful Tip: Take the Learning Path quiz after you join to find your learning path then and use the filters to pinpoint content that matches your specific stage of development.

So what kind of Strategy Episodes do LearnWPT Members get?
