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.
