Free Poker Strategy, Podcast #1

Free Poker Strategy, it’s a beautiful thing.

If you’re anything like me, then you’re prolly a fan of free: free coffee and donuts at the car dealership, free samples at Costco, free shipping, and of course free poker strategy content.  There are so many sources of free poker strategy out there, and if we know where and how to access it and how to learn from it, then man, we’re on our way.

Podcast Mission

At the end of this podcast you’ll have a plan on how to get the most out of these free resources without overloading yourself.  Plus, you’ll have a giant list of free strategy creators online that you can dive into and learn from to improve your poker game.

The 5 Keys to Getting the Most From Free Poker Strategy

  1. Be Consistent in Your Studies
    • Dedicate at least 1 hour daily
    • Challenge yourself to do this for 30 days… Build it into a habit
    • Find sources of free poker strategy and stick to them.  The more comfortable you are with their teaching style, the more you’ll learn
  2. Take Notes and Stay Organized
    • Word, Evernote, hand-written journal, whatevs
    • Keep organized with key words and topics
    • Use separate documents for each source
  3. Mastery vs Overload
    • Don’t overwhelm w/too much info
    • Stick with one topic (ex. cbets or opening ranges) and learn all you can before jumping to another topic
    • Overwhelm leads to stress which leads to not studying at all
  4. Take Action and Reflect
    • Get the most out of what you learned and put it to use!
    • The best teacher is action
    • After taking action, reflect on what you learned, go back to the drawing board, study more and make changes.  Wash, rinse, repeat.
  5. Questions and Requests
    • This gets you more free poker strategy content
    • Teachers love questions, so ask ’em
    • We have content ideas, but when you tell us what you need, it makes things a bit easier
    • Plus, we’re motivated when we know you’re paying attention

    The Poker Bank is amazing! Can’t stop watching him. There are tons of worth informations that I’m shocked how I couldn’t find him earlier. My game is improved after the few videos… Thanks Sky!

    Your amazing sky! I all love the podcast, youtube channels you stated and your podcast itself. i wanna also recommend gripsed a great youtube channel that help me improve my game.starting now i will be a fan of yours, continue to create great and free content! Regarding your podcast challenge, i would like to request a topic regarding range construction. thanks a lot.

    Thanks! I like Gripsed channel as well. Evan knows his stuff and communicates it all very well. Range construction is something I’ve covered here and there, but doing a podcast dedicated strictly to that would be great. It would also have to have a video component as well as it’s so much easier to explain ranges with a program like Flopzilla. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Hi, I just found your podcast and so far, so good. I looked up the reccomended twitch channels and I couldn’t find either with a search.

    Hey, James. I don’t know about the search function within Twitch, but just click the links to them in the show notes and they’ll take you right there. I just clicked both and Somerville was in the middle of a streaming session. Later!
