The Poker Apprentice - FREE Coaching Options
This option is for those of you that maybe have small bankrolls, are not sure about paying for coaching or just to get something for nothing (all of which are perfectly acceptable reasons).
All you need to do is join one of the poker rooms in the chart below and follow the sign up instructions.
The training will start right away (as soon as we confirm that you have opened a new account) and the last stage of the training (leakfinder session) will take place when you clear the rooms requirments for that particular poker room.
What does the course consists of? The lessons that Brokerstar conducts with his students in the full package have been broken down into power point videos where he goes in to exact details of how he plays. The videos are sent to you one at a time to study and make extensive notes on. To generate the rake, MGR or points needed (depending on poker room of choice) you can play either HUSNG's or cash games. Even though the lessons will teach you to beat heeads up SNG's, most people find that they clear the requirements much faster and then get stuck straight into the training. 1) Classroom style video on playing and beating loose/ passive players. Here you will get an exact game plan on lines to take with varying hand strengths in and out of position. 2) Classroom style video on playing tight players and the adjustments we make at different points in the match along with hand reading. 3) Classroom style video on playing the more aggressive players where we cover optimal lines to take vs both loose and tight aggressive players. We cover concepts like pot control, blocking bets, plays designed to induce bluffs and much more. 4) After you have studied all of your training material and hit the poker rooms coaching requirements (for example generating $15 of rake) then you can book a slot with Brokerstar where he'll review your knowledge of the learning packs you have. Brokerstar will do an oral test on each of the common player types you'll face and you can also ask him any questions you like at this point on parts of the game you're still struggling with. 5) Finally and most importantly you'll finish off with a game review where Brokerstar will break down some tough matches that you played in and talk through your lines and look to plug your leaks. This is a great chance to ask Brokerstar about anything else you may be struggling with and he'll go over the issues with you. This is the most important part of the training as it is tailored to your specific needs. The initial training, videos on the site and the guys helping out in sweat sessions in the forums should see you making a profit by this point. Just keep playing untill you hit the room requirments and you'll then finish up having your leaks plugged. After your training is complete you can go back to playing at any poker room of your choice or look to join a room where you can get Rakeback and build a solid roll.
