Beginners

Never played poker, but want to understand it and start earning.

We offer a safe start: we will provide a solid foundation, explain the game logic, teach you to think like a pro, and apply positive strategies from the very first sessions.

Everything is step-by-step and in simple language.

Amateurs

You play for fun and think about how to monetise your hobby

We will help transform poker from a pastime into a source of income.

We will show how to competently combine playing with work, how much time to devote to training, and most importantly - how to turn a profit and stop playing blindly.

We will close the theoretical gaps, establish gaming discipline, and show what professional work ethics are.

You will have a chance to join the foundation team — with support and an endless bankroll.

Before poker, he worked in IT and now combines both pursuits. He has a keen interest in technology and sports.

What I liked most about the course was the structured approach and the way the material is presented — in clear language. The basic strategies and hand analyses particularly stood out. The atmosphere in the project is calm and pleasant — you can always ask a question and receive a quick and precise answer.

I am proud to have become more disciplined and learned to make more reasoned decisions.
