  • Playing to Win
  • Thinking in Big Blinds
  • Effective Stacks
  • Fold Equity

These are the keys to Tournament success, so we’re going to build you a poker foundation based on these essential components of winning play.

DAY 1 - SESSION 2:
11:30AM - 1:00PM

A COMPLETE PREFLOP STRATEGY

All poker hands begin Preflop, and many end there as well! In this section we'll make sure your Preflop game plan is sound because it's where most players lose their footing.

  • Position
  • Hand Ranges
  • How to Decide Between Calling, Raising, or Folding
  • Building a Complete Preflop Game Plan

Set yourself up for Postflop success with a winning Preflop strategy.

DAY 1 - SESSION 3:
2:00PM - 3:15PM

GROW YOUR CHIP STACK WITHOUT GOOD CARDS

Being card dead is NO EXCUSE for not accumulating chips during a poker tournament. After this session you'll understand why and how to go after pots that others won't fight for as well as how (and when) to use your stack as a weapon to bully the table.

  • Stealing
  • Restealing
  • Shoving
  • Reshoving
  • Attacking Limpers
  • Stop N' Go

Learn the techniques Pros use to run over tables and build their stack regardless of the cards they're dealt. Ever wonder how they do it? This session will show you what your game has been missing.

DAY 1 - SESSION 4:
3:30PM - 4:45PM

APPLY WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED

We’ll spend some time applying what we’ve learned with a series of Preflop Tournament Situations.

  • You’ll be put to the test with tricky Tournament decisions like the ones you’ll face at the table
  • As you go through the hands, you’ll get feedback from the Pros about how they’d think about those same decisions

There's no better way to practice Tournament decision making than to do so in real-time, under pressure (you'll have a short time-limit for each decision), with Pro players there to review and improve your thought process after each one.

DAY 1 - SESSION 5:
5:00PM - 6:00PM

QUESTIONS... MEET ANSWERS

You'll be able to ask questions throughout the weekend, but this is a dedicated check-in time to make sure you don't leave with ANY questions about Tournament Poker.

  • Clarify new concepts you've learned
  • Find exceptions to the "rules"
  • Ensure you've correctly integrated what you've learned

Our instructors ensure that no one leaves a LearnWPT Live Workshop with any unanswered poker questions!

DAY 2 - SESSION 1:
10:00AM - 11:30AM

THE KEYS TO POSTFLOP DECISION-MAKING

Next we'll dive into the nuances of Postflop play, giving you the key factors to consider when making Postflop decisions.

  • You’ll see how to use Board Texture and the Number of Opponents you face to guide your play
  • You’ll get an in-depth understanding of Continuation Betting and Turn Second Bullets to keep your hands disguised and your ranges balanced
  • We’ll go into when it’s a good idea to attack dry flops to pick up pots no one is fighting for, and when to hold back and wait for a better opportunity

Many players find that some of the toughest decisions they make in a poker tournament happen Postflop. After this session you'll have a clear framework to approach Postflop decision-making.

DAY 2 - SESSION 2:
11:45AM - 1:00PM

APPLY WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED

  • You’ll be put to the test with tricky Tournament decisions like the ones you’ll face at the table
  • As you go through the hands, you’ll get feedback from the Pros about how they’d think about those decisions

There's no better way to practice Tournament decision making than to do so in real-time, under pressure (you'll have a short time-limit for each decision), with Pro players there to review and improve your thought process after each one.
