“Having the coaches as my mentors was the main factor that got me from 10NL to 1kNL in 8 months. This was also prior to the creation of the PWR simplified strategies that I still use to this day. They taught me how to work and study as a professional poker player through efficient database work, simplified strategies, and hand reviews. I was one of the first PWR students, and if I had today’s content at my disposal when I first started, it would have been an even smoother process with less guesswork.”

“The last year has been a wild ride. I went from being a losing 200NL grinder to playing the highest stakes that run in my pool—5kNL. I hit my average stake, win rate, and bankroll goals much earlier than the one-year mark, and I owe PWR a lot for making that possible.”

“My experience in the Poker With Riske CFP program has been everything that I hoped it would be. Prior to joining I was already a winning player, but my time in the CFP completely overhauled my game. The coaches do an excellent job of teaching and creating a friendly community that supports each other. The program helped me progress from 200NL to consistently beating 500NL and 1000NL.”
