Master the Flop
Hey everybody,
Recently, I have been going through my products a second time. I’ve done some updates.
Some products, such as Master Tournament Poker In One Class: Special Edition, did not need anything to be updated…because people are not improving at poker and the same tactics still work.
However, Master The Flop is a more detail-oriented product, as it gets into the DNA of flop manipulation. It’s a toolbox that helps you deconstruct flop textures for extreme exploitability. It shows you how to do this on several common boards. It gives you cutting concepts to help you manipulate others through hand reading and bet size.
Long story short, I started tinkering with things, drinking coffee, blasting music…and before I knew it I had created sixteen new videos for the package.
I replaced some older sections. I did that because I’ve taught these concepts hundreds of times, and I know how to deliver the same concepts in a much more brief and impactful way now.
