Partypoker US Network and LearnWPT Launches Free Poker Strategy Learning Tool “For the Player”

Partypoker US Network and LearnWPT, World Poker Tour’s educational poker coaching partner, have collaborated to launch a new learning tool called “For the Player.”

This new educational program will provide free poker strategy and analysis to help players develop their skills and improve their gameplay.

As per the press release, “For the Player” material is available to all players in the United States and is aimed at players of all skill levels.

Players who subscribe will receive a series of weekly exclusive newsletters featuring content materials such as 'GTO Trainer Packs,’ 'Strategy Episodes,’ 'Poker Decision Hands,’ 'Interactive Train & Explain Series' and more.

Furthermore, players will also be provided with training blogs and live sessions with Team LearnWPT comprising Andrew “LuckyChewy” Lichtenberger, Tony Dunst, Vanessa Selbst, Jared Tendler, and Nick Binger.

This free educational poker program is currently focused on its ring-fenced New Jersey poker network, which comprises three poker skins that all share liquidity: partypoker NJ itself, BetMGM Poker NJ and Borgata Poker.

However, players in Michigan and Pennsylvania may also be able to take advantage of these free courses once BetMGM, in association with Roar Digital—a joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Entain (the parent company of partypoker)—goes live in these two states.

As per our exclusive report, Roar Digital will be launching online poker in Michigan this month under the BetMGM brand. It will become the second online poker operator to go live in the Wolverine State. PokerStars MI was the first to go live at the end of last month.

Players who sign up today to the casino can verify their accounts and deposit to be ready when the new poker room opens from Day 1.

The company is also expected to launch online poker in Pennsylvania soon.

All these educational poker learning materials are being made available for free thanks to its partnership with LearnWPT.

LearnWPT is WPT’s educational partner platform launched in 2016 and founded by Nick Binger. It is a membership-based coaching tool, designed to help players fix their leaks by helping them learn Game Theory Optimal (GTO) strategy.

“LearnWPT is thrilled to work with partypoker US Network to bring the latest in educational poker content to its network of players,” said Nick Binger, LearnWPT Founder and President.

“Alongside the most trusted, recognizable name in online poker, we will use ‘For The Player’ to continue to encourage all players to have fun while developing their skills and style of play — a goal since our 2016 launch,” Binger added.
