Join us for an exciting Poker Power workshop!


During this four-week series, an expert instructor will guide you through the basics, from hand strength to bet sizing, so you can confidently sit at the table like a boss. You'll learn the ins and outs of the game, when to hold, and when to fold, all while having a blast. But it's not just about the game - the skills you'll learn in this program can be applied to your career and life. You'll develop strategic thinking, quick decision-making, and a competitive edge that will set you apart in any field. And the best part? You'll get to put your newfound knowledge into practice right away by playing with your fellow participants. So don't miss out on this unforgettable program.


LESSON 1: COURAGEOUS (March 12, 2024)

Learn basic poker strategy paired with stepping outside your comfort zone. It takes courage to show up. It takes more courage to take action. By learning to bet and raise, we push ourselves outside of our comfort zone. Our actions serve as our voice. By putting pressure on, we practice maximizing our advantage and capitalizing on opponents' poor decisions all while minimizing risk.

LESSON 2: BOLD (March 19, 2024)

Aggression and position matter! Set imposter syndrome aside and learn to take calculated risks. By using the effective combination of aggression and table position you will learn the right time AND the right moves to make. Practicing being bold will help you become a better poker player and negotiator in all scenarios so you can maximize your success.

LESSON 3: DETERMINED (March 26, 2024)

This lesson is all about how to get what you want. We practice making difficult decisions under conditions of uncertainty and time constraints. By analyzing all the information, and eliminating biases we come to a logical next move and avoid decision-making traps.

LESSON 4: PERCEPTION (April 2, 2024)

Build on your poker skills by reading your opponent and focusing on emotional control. By analyzing our opponents' actions and patterns, we can better understand their motivations. We're looking for signs of weakness, but we also need to recognize signs of strength. Equally as important is our own self-awareness and emotional control.
