The World Series Of Poker (WSOP) has launched the beta version of its new online interactive poker school at WSOPAcademy.com designed to help novice and casual players improve their live gameplay and take their passion for the game to the next level.
The WSOP premiered a series of live training camps in 2007 that focused on in-depth and face-to-face instruction from some of poker’s top champions and has now gone one step further by bringing this coaching online through WSOPAcademy.com.
The site uses exclusive footage from games at the WSOP combined with an interactive interface and instructions directly from top poker champions to create an extremely effective training platform that is fun, entertaining and motivational.
Until September 1, players can subscribe to the service for $14.95 per month with no setup fees while a free trial lesson is also available for those that would like to try before they buy.
“WSOPAcademy.com is unlike any other training site,” said eleven-time WSOP champion Phil Hellmuth.
“It gives players a clear training roadmap with a tested protocol that improves confidence and ensures your game is getting better each time you train. We teach players with real hands from real tournaments with exclusive WSOP content to give them our first-hand view of every flop, turn and river. This is the place where the next generation will learn to become champions.”
The WSOP stated that its new online school provides a complete ‘curriculum of highly interactive and engaging poker training from the game’s biggest champions’ including Annie Duke, Greg Raymer, Mark Seif, Mark Gregorich and Gavin Griffin while Joe Navarro, a 25-year veteran of America’s Federal Bureau Of Investigation, imparts his people-reading skills to enable students to spot bluffs and tells.
“In the past, novice and home game poker players had few choices to learn the game; endless online poker scenarios, pro-level books and videos or expensive personal coaching,” said Raymer, main event champion at the 2004 WSOP.
“If WSOPAcademy.com fixes just one small flaw in your game, you could save thousands of dollars in losses for an investment of only a few dollars a month. I wish this existed when I was learning the game.”
