At RecPoker, we believe that we’re better together—and we approach learning in the same way. There are other sites out there—including some of our fantastic learning partner affiliates—that provide insights and expertise from knowledgeable pros. Many of us are members of these sites, and we don’t intend to compete with them. Instead, we think we can build on and complement these amazing resources by providing personalized insights, perspectives, and support by Rec players for Rec players. Our learning resources are broken down below.

Professional poker player and coach Matt Matros is taking our own RecPoker Premium members under his wing and coaching them up in this monthly coaching session! As a coach, Matt offers private instruction for groups and individuals, and is known for tailoring his teaching methods to whatever works best for the student. Some people like memorizing charts, some people like reviewing hands, some people like to hear complex ideas broken down into simple, understandable points. Most students get a little bit of all that stuff, but in the proportions that make the most sense for their level and their learning style. Matt is offering Jim a series of lessons leading up to the 2025 Main Event, and RecPoker Premium Members are invited to join the action on the fourth Thursday of each month or watch the videos after, starting at the end of March 2025!

My primary goal as a RECing Crew Member is to help distill down the available scientific literature on cognitive and emotional processing and provide accessible discussions of those complex topics to recreational players. I also hope to provide reviews of some of the more popular sources of “Mindset” advice to help you make correct choices about what is good. More succinctly, there is simply a lot of crap out there. I believe my involvement in RecPoker will help you understand that what we tell ourselves are the reasons for our actions are different from what cognitive science has told us those reasons actually are. Hopefully, this will help you use this information to provide significantly greater clarity to your poker game. But beware, once you have your eyes opened to this view of the world, you can never be put back into the Matrix… Previous Sessions Next Session -
