The 9 Courses within the Poker Forge
(Valued at $2,100 total)
This course gives you the easiest, quickest strategies that are integral to playing profitable poker.
You'll be taken step-by-step through learning the most important money-making and cost-saving skills. With high quality Strategy, Take Action and Review videos, your skills will improve from day one. You will turn your losing ways around and start feeling confident and proud of your time on-the-felt. You will become and remain profitable for the rest of your poker journey.
The profits are just waiting there for you to seize them and if you're looking for help in going from losing to winning play, this is the course for you.
This course includes 10 modules (+2 bonus modules) with 43 videos (over 12 hours of coaching!) that guide you on your journey from one critical, money-making strategy to the next and at your own pace.
This course will teach you the most valuable skill in all of poker: hand reading.
You will learn how to interpret the actions of your opponents to determine the strength of their range and make exploitative plays using your read. You’ll do this through lots of off-the-felt work which builds an intuition for hand reading on-the-felt.
This course may be your first formal introduction to hand reading, so you will learn the basic steps to hand reading but also the intricate details to look for to aid in decision making.
Preflop decisions are made with every hand you're dealt, and building your skills here will have a positive effect on your entire poker journey. Study hard and take action with this course because great choices preflop lead to post-flop success, which leads to overall #WINNING in poker.
You will learn to use the KISS Cash Game Ranges to turn yourself into a TAG player with a greater chance at earning profits in the micro stakes. Also, you’ll be able to put yourself in more favorable money-making opportunities through improved recognition of the most profitable situations to be in.
This course will turn you into a cbetting champ. You will gain full confidence in making your most common post-flop play, the cbet, for either value or as a bluff and against every type of player and on every type of board.
You'll learn profitable cbetting, but this course doesn't stop there. You'll also learn how to strategically make other post-flop plays like donk bets, floats and probes. You'll be able to analyze your opponent's plays and the logic behind them to help you develop exploitative strategies against them.
This is THE COURSE that will help you finally learn to find the fold! Too many of us call and give loads of value to our opponents because we don't want to be bluffed, we hope we're ahead or we just don't know what else to do.
This course will help you save money in post-flop play by avoiding terrible money-losing calls. Saving money in poker is just as good as making money, so be ready for your win rates and bottom line to increase with this one.
The tough part of leak plugging comes from the fact that you often have to break bad habits to plug the leak. For example, you've been using the same preflop calling strategies for months or years now, and these losing strategies have become ingrained in your skill set. Unlearning poor strategies and replacing them with proper strategies takes work, but you'll learn how to do it in this course.
I hope you're ready to put in a lot of work off-the-felt analyzing proper strategies and your hands, then spending focused time on-the-felt utilizing your leak plugging strategies.
By the end of this 36-day course, you will be able to confidently use the most important poker math concepts to make +EV decisions both pre and post-flop. You’ll also be able to use HUD statistics to gauge player type and tendencies to help you mathematically exploit them both pre and post-flop.
Poker is one big math problem and profitable poker utilizes math in every decision. One of the great things about poker math is that it just requires the basics: +, -, X and /.
That's it! Don't be anxious that I'll throw overly complicated calculations and formulas your way. If you can do the above 4 actions in your head (or with a calculator), there's no math to fear here.
This 45-day course will teach you how to exploit your opponents to maximize the value from your best hands and to earn pots "unfairly" with your weakest hands.
You'll learn to analyze the actions they take along with bet sizing. You'll learn how to interpret the most useful HUD statistics. You'll learn how to dive through your PokerTracker 4 database to glean important bits of info to take with you onto the felt and aid in your decisions.
You'll also learn the ever-important skill of Game Planning, something that is rarely discussed by poker coaches or content creators.
By the end of this course, you'll have a list of dozens of exploits you can use for max profits throughout the rest of your poker journey.
This 45-day course will develop your understanding of the most useful and exploitable HUD stats. Your HUD won't be a confusing jumble of numbers anymore! It'll become an important tool and #1 source of information on your opponent's tendencies.
The strategy videos, multiple demonstrations and quizzes will perfect your understanding of HUD stats. You'll be making reads and pulling the trigger on chip-earning exploits like never before. You'll also learn what your own stats and win rates say about your play style. This will help you avoid being too exploitable by your HUD-knowledgeable opponents.
You'll also learn how to make your HUD more useful through creating and editing the HUD along with the popups. By the end of this course, you'll be able to consider yourself a HUD master and your in-game and off-table studies will be much improved for it.

WHAT POKER FORGE STUDENTS SAY
I have been playing poker for 20 years plus and had read tones of books over that time. I'd often get a small incremental improvement here or there but I never thought of poker study through the lens of a student. Through the last 6 months as a Forge member I have learned to study and gone from losing -3 or -4 BB per 100 hands to being a +3 or +4 BB/100 hands winner. I have learned through your videos, group events, checklists and tick sheets to study and focus on one area at a time. It has been incredible for my game. My ability to fold in marginal spots, or pick better spots to bluff has grown immensely. I am far from where I want to be, but I know that as long as I continue down this path my poker journey will continually get better and more profitable. It has been the best value I have found out there. On top of Sky being an amazing teacher, he has developed a great community of individuals to have a forum to learn from each other... Gambatte!
Being a micro-stakes player, I always thought a poker coach was out of my budget. Thanks to Sky and the Poker Forge, I feel I have a coach anytime I want or need one. Other than becoming a more solid player, Sky's classes have taught me the basics of using a HUD and I plan to become more efficient with that strategy. His classes are easy to understand and straight to the point. I would recommend the Forge to anyone.
Over the last 6 months my poker skills and style has completely changed for the better through the Poker Forge:
- no longer limping (well, almost never)
- the strength of playing in position ("Position is king")
- table and seat selection (aggro players to my right)
- identifying the fish
- using PokerTracker4 - I'm SO good with filters now
- the Smart HUD (my constant friend at all my tables)
- putting villains on ranges
- flop textures and range interactions which leads to identifying good bluffing opportunities (I actually BLUFF now)
- using pot odds and implied odds
- plugging my leaks with PT4
- not being afraid to try new strategies (e.g., CR on the flop with a draw, or even sometimes with nothing when villain cbets 100% of the time)
The Poker Forge has been one of the best investments I've made as I've shifted from live to online play. It's got it all - it's focused, it's organized, it's easy to navigate and it's full of valuable content. Sky's mastery of PT4 has saved me countless hours. His genuineness and natural ability to teach make my time in the Forge an enjoyable learning experience. The Poker Forge is a great resource. Thanks Sky.
Really enjoying the Poker Forge. Taking one course at a time and applying it to my online play. I can tell this approach is already improving my game. I have been on a few other training sites and yours is definitely superior. Thanks for all of the hard work you put into your site and the affordable price.
The Poker Forge is a unique training website. My intuition and in-game decisiveness has skyrocketed since becoming a member only 3 months ago. Sky is passionate about teaching online poker, and he is just as passionate about seeing his students become successful players. He truly cares about my progress and he has been there for me through every step of the learning process: whether through email, the comment section, or the live group coaching events. The support and training I get in the Poker Forge is immense. Thank you Sky!
Thanks for your knowledge!! You are amazing, this is the best place where I can learn poker from the beginning!!
Thanks to all your help within the Poker Forge, I finally built a $150 bankroll. I started with $50. I can say to you that for the first month ever, I have a +8bb/100 hands win rate so far at this new limit for me.
Using your style of hand reading, I practiced every day and I have been able to really pinpoint what my opponents have had. The month was a complete success! I love your style of teaching better than any other coach I've used. You are fresh and full of energy and you explain the things that I need explained. I love all the cheat sheets you give us and having to fill them out keeps me focused on one thing at a time instead of trying to learn it all at once.
I just recently joined the Poker Forge and I already improved my game a lot! [Stephan shared a graph showing that when he started in the Poker Forge, he was losing at a little under break-even. Now, he's got a steadily rising graph with great profitability.]
I joined and started to study at least 30 minutes a day. I just did your Bread & Butter filtering which was impressive... I just had 172 B&B situations out of 5.3K hands. I'll now go on a B&B Hunt. Many thanks again and best wishes.
I've been with the Poker Forge for over a year now. After reading many different poker books, I was finding it hard to get anywhere due to information overload. Sky lays out his program so you can learn one item at a time and drill it in your head until it 2nd nature. I needed structure in my poker learning and the Poker Forge provides that perfectly. Sky provides daily learning activities from how to hand read, analyze HUD data, poker math and basically everything poker. The best part about the Forge is the spreadsheets that analyze your win rates and help you find and plug your leaks. I've gone from a losing 2NL player to a winning 10NL player in just over a year. Thanks Sky and the Poker Forge community.
Thanks, Sky! I have been playing over 28.5bb/100 hands since I started this course!
Over the last year, I had started playing more poker and wanted to do more studying. I joined some other sites, listened to podcasts and watched a lot of videos. I was transitioning from 2NL to 5NL at the time and was looking for content relevant to micro stakes and my goal of becoming a profitable player at 5NL. I had listened to many of Sky's podcasts and finally decided to join the Poker Forge. Over the last 2 months I have learned from the great content on this site, chatted with many of the members and got some answers to my questions directly from Sky. I've become a better and more consistent player who studies regularly and measures my progress along the way. Sky is always available to his members, continues to create new content and I really appreciate his approach to learning poker!
Sky has a unique way of coaching you in the Poker Forge; he clearly explains and, unlike other sites I looked at, he demonstrates the theories he teaches. He gets you thinking about poker in a way I have never done before through studying my hand histories and measuring my continued performance, and looking at leaks within PT4. If I'm unsure of a concept, Sky is always available to point me in the right direction. The Poker Forge courses are set out in a logical sequence and are easy to study in short, concise lessons. After just my first 3 months, I decided to become a lifetime member, giving me truly great value for the money and enabling me to "study with purpose" and continue to love the game and improve my poker knowledge every time I turn on my computer. Highly recommended. Thanks coach Sky.
