Steve also announces the launch of recpokertraining.com and 3 available programs (monthly seminars, email coaching, and results analytics).

This week Steve summarizes & reviews a portion of a paid webinar from Matt Berkey of the Solve for Why Academy. This portion focuses on the shortcomings of GTO and how we can reframe our understanding of GTO to fit into an appropriate poker strategy.
