As a game easy to learn and hard to master, poker offers a lot of possibilities to different types of players. Some people prefer to play for nickels with their buddies over a few beers, others pursue the dream of being a poker pro while moving up the stakes online, and there are the “lucky” few – well-known poker stars battling for millions of dollars every few days.
That is the true beauty of poker – there’s something in it for everyone. Pretty much every poker player has their own story about how they got started and fell in love with that complex game. Undoubtedly, poker got harder over recent years, but we’ve got plenty of examples that the poker dream is still very much alive.
Getting to the very top in any poker format is an ambitious task but it is doable and there is still a lot of money to be won at the poker tables. But if you want to take your game to the next level you have to have a plan.
The online poker school is a way to become a better poker player
Nowadays, if you look long enough, you’re going to find pretty much anything you need on the Internet. The same is true for poker training. Well, almost. The Internet is chock full of free poker content. Most of it is mediocre, some of it is pretty good, and there are even some free awesome poker videos .
The thing is, the amount of content out there is pretty much overwhelming for an average poker player. There is only so much time you can spend on your poker training (especially if you’re not a pro) so it’s a good idea to pick wisely.
That’s why, and we know that for a fact, it’s a good idea to adopt the right attitude while learning poker, just like you would while learning any other discipline. Watching some free poker content from time to time certainly won’t do you much harm but to become the best poker player you can be, you’ll most likely have to reach out for professional help.
From a poker newbie to the World Series of Poker
That’s a long way to go, but it’s not impossible. If you feel like becoming a better poker player, you should be aware that:
Different schools and coaches have different approaches to coaching
The most basic one is offering (usually) monthly access to certain materials (most likely poker training videos) which are priced with a certain fee. That’s a reasonable option if you know what you’re looking for. In other words, if you are already an above-the-average poker player, you’re likely to find what you need in certain poker videos or courses. Usually, you can buy the latter with lifetime access.
Some players take a different approach and hire a private coach. That’s probably an option suited for people who have more money than time. A private coach will analyze your game and, if he’s good enough, will point out leaks in your game, providing some solutions on how to plug them.
Of course, finding a good coach is not an easy task, and it’s definitely a pricy venture – private coaching starts at around $50 per hour and ends at hundreds of dollars per hour.
However, there is another option worth considering – coaching for profit (CFP).
Coaching for profit is a great way to find out whether you can become a professional poker player
So how does CFP work? The idea is simple: you, the player, do not pay for the poker training directly from your pocket. Instead, you share some agreed percentage of your winnings with your coach or school. Usually, the deal is also connected with poker staking.
What is staking in the poker world? We’ve prepared a whole article about it, which you can check out here.
In a nutshell, staking is a way for poker players to reduce the influence of luck on their winnings. If you are staked, you sell some percentage of your buy-ins (whether we talk single table tournaments, multi-table tournaments, cash games, or even a series of different games) in exchange for an agreed percentage of your winnings.
At Smart Spin, we strongly believe in coaching for profit
Firstly, it’s a really strong statement from the poker school: We trust so strongly in our poker strategies that we are willing to let you use them and play with our money .
Secondly, it’s also quite a good deal for different types of poker players. The lower stake players can get used to proper poker routines, thought processes, and strategies while not risking their money, and the higher stakes grinders can realize their edge over the other poker players without waging a big percentage of their bankroll in a short period.
Obviously coaching for profit is not only about money
The most important principle is to provide a complete package to an average poker player. By taking part in such a program you do not only get money to play with, but most importantly we provide you with the whole poker know-how.
By joining Smart Spin you’ll get access to hours of poker training videos, live studies, and hand reviews. You’ll also get a chance to see how the best poker players out there organize their learning process. Moreover, Smart Spin is not only a poker school, it’s a poker community, where hundreds of other players are having the same ups and downs as you.
Sometimes a kind advice from another player playing the same limit is priceless.
In other words, we believe that our coaching for-profit offer contains everything that’s necessary to take your game to the next level.
