Pete doesn’t play poker for a living and plays online poker these days purely to create content. He spends most of his professional life as a poker educator and coach, doing what he loves most – teaching.

Pete doesn’t have the time to put in any relevant volume at the moment as he spends all of his professional time on his teaching business. Therefore, he does not have a recent graph over a big enough sample to serve as reliable evidence of true win-rate. This site used to have a graph of Pete’s older results from when he played higher volume but it was taken down because it had become quite dated.

Pete teaches private students who play anywhere from 10NL to 500NL. He has taken a huge number of players from the micro-stakes through to being winners at 100NL-200NL and in some cases, beyond.

As soon as possible. Delaying tuition is almost always a big mistake as it allows time for bad habits to form in your game. Getting your fundamentals straightened out as soon as possible is a major advantage and brand-new poker players are always the easiest to teach since they are clean slates. Plus, would you rather be putting in hours and hours of independent study before or after you’ve been shown the right way to go about it?

This depends on how strong your theory is. Grade 1 is right for the majority of players. Grade 2 is good for players with a solid grasp of the fundamentals of GTO and Grade 3 is for players who are already quite accomplished. If you are unsure which grade is right for you, shoot us an email to and we can discuss which course would make the most sense.

Not necessarily. Stakes are not always the best measure of a player’s theoretical ability.

Playing solid theoretically correct poker means that you make far less mistakes than the field. This automatically guarantees that you will have a positive expectation in your game. You can win just by being solid and GTO strategies absolutely destroy the average opponent at any stake. However, if we want to add even more money to our win-rate then we should deviate from theoretical principles once we’re savvy enough to see where our opponents are offering us exploitative chances. Strong exploitative poker and GTO are not incompatible; far from it; they compliment each other perfectly.

Cash game poker is the purest form of the game and provides many complex post-flop decisions. If you can become proficient at cash games, transitioning over to being a strong tournament player is easy for most people. This does not hold true the other way round. Be a poker purist and take up cash games. Even if you also tale up tournaments, learning cash will do wonders for your game.
