WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Hundreds of happy poker peeps can't be wrong...
Used the focus sessions today to improve my preflop game and table selection. I actually ran fairly bad but was able to get a very good win rate due to only playing pots in position against fish.
I have had a consistently increasing bb/100 hands win rate from -20bb/100 (over 100K hands last year) to break-even and now I'm at +3.5bb/100 hands over 50K hands. I wouldn't have been able to do this without a lot of your resources and podcasts! Very motivating and well done. Keep up the good work.
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 (a work in progress for life I guess)
- 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)
I went back and looked at my previous sessions with you to see how I've grown in my thinking. +$279.11 and +26bb/100 in December. What a difference in WR and blind play. I have almost paid for my lifetime membership with 1 month of playing at 5nl. Thank you, Sky. You're a good coach.
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.
Thanks a lot buddy, I really appreciate it. In the past month since I've been using your HUD I've been winning at +8bb/100 hands (30K hands). I'm sure some of that is from running good, but your HUD has been instrumental in many of my decisions.
Thanks for your knowledge!! You are amazing, this is the best place where I can learn poker from the beginning!!
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.
Thanks, Sky! I have been playing over 28.5bb/100 hands since I started this course!
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.
You're doing an awesome job with your training site. I am 100% satisfied. I am learning a lot, making new friends and really enjoying the study-side of the game. You have really opened my eyes. The hand reading month was fantastic as I am sure this month will be too. Keep up the good work, man!
Thanks to all your help with the book and podcast, 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.
The 7 Courses within the Poker Forge
(Valued at $1,100 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 contains 10 Modules with 39 videos (over 11 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 have you cbetting like a 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 analyze your opponents to learn their tendencies. Once you find their tendencies, you'll know exactly how to exploit them 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 learn the ever-important skill of Game Planning, something that is rarely discussed by poker coaches or content creators.
