If you are a player returning after a long break

You played before, stepped away, and want to start again with a clear order of work. This plan rebuilds your game one layer at a time, using your own hands.

Who this is for

  • You played regularly in the past, stopped for a year or more, and want to play again.
  • You remember how the game works but not the habits, and the current formats and tools feel unfamiliar.
  • You want a plan with an order to it, not a reading list.

The situation

The rules have not moved, but the tools around them have. Calculators, range charts and hand history review are routine now.

Rust shows up in small places first: bet sizing, position and quick math.

A good restart rebuilds one layer at a time: preflop, flop, turn, river, then the math that ties them together.

You also decide how much to play each week before the first session, so the plan becomes a schedule instead of a wish.

Start with what you still do well. Your own hands show which habits survived the break and which ones need work, so the plan spends its time where it matters.

Live and online play ask for slightly different habits, so the plan fixes the format before anything else.

The plan

The package for this plan is Five Sessions: 5 sessions of 60 minutes for $750 in all. Your Game Assessment counts as the first session if you buy the package within 14 days of it, and the package then costs $600 for the other 4 sessions.

Each session ends with a short drill list, so the work continues between sessions at your own pace.

  1. Game AssessmentThe 3 hands you send ahead, from your recent play, are checked against the numbers. You leave with a one-page plan and a restart order.

  2. Preflop rebuildPosition, opening ranges and defending against a raise, with a chart you can print.

  3. Flop playContinuation bets, check-raises and board texture, using your own hands as the examples.

  4. Turn, river and the mathPot odds, outs and bet sizing across the later streets, with calculator drills.

  5. Your weekly routineA schedule for play and review, a hand history habit, and a simple way to track what you study.

What you leave with

  • A one-page written plan with a restart order.
  • A set of preflop charts for the format you play.
  • A weekly play and review schedule, which you write yourself in the last session.
  • A drill list tied to the calculators and data pages.
