COURSE CONTENT
Learn How to Adjust vs the 5 Player Types
Darren Elias introduces you to the general approach he's used to win millions of dollars in tournaments around the world.
He breaks down the 5 poker player types that are constantly referenced throughout the course and shares key mindset tips that will help you play your A-game more often.
Identify 7 Exploits Hiding in Plain Sight
Learn 7 hyper-specific exploitative tactics that Darren has used for many years of his wildly successful poker career.
These strategies can be used both online and live (though some are live-specific) to counter your opponents to the max.
Build Stacks in the Early Stage
Your Tournament Journey begins with an extensive section on playing the Early Stages.
Learn Darren and Nick's dominant strategies for when stacks are deep and weak players are in abundance.
Crush Opponents in the Intermediate Stage
Maintain discipline and continue building your stack when registration has closed and around half the field remains.
Darren demonstrates how and when he adjusts his preflop ranges and takes a deep dive into multiway theory with Nick.
Thrive & Survive During Bubble Stages
Discover how to set yourself up for a deep run and/or survive to lock up the cash (depending on your stack).
Darren reviews more than a dozen hypothetical and real hand examples that show you how to adjust your strategy when the bubble looms. By the end, you'll be equipped to avoid untenable situations and take calculated risks with worthwhile rewards.
Run Over Your Opponents In The Money
Congrats on making the money! But there's still work to do...
Make precise preflop decisions and lock-in as you fight for a spot at the final table. Nick and Darren explain key ICM considerations and player tendencies that should impact your strategic approach when in the money.
Winning The Final Table & Closing the Deal Heads-Up
Stay measured and play well even when big money is on the line and emotions are running high. Then, learn heads-up strategies that will help you close the deal when just one opponent sits between you and the win.
This section includes an incredible 8-part series (arguably the most valuable part of the course) in which Nick and Darren review every hand from a high stakes online final table, which Darren went on to win for $448,842.

Mid Stakes Live PlayerDarren's explanation of player types and how to exploit such players at different parts (early, bubble, final table) of a tournament was digestible and genuinely fun to learn.
As a mid-stakes live player, sometimes I struggle bridging the gap between the theoretical and real world of poker, especially in tournaments. After studying Darren and Nick's approach, I feel much more confident at the tables.

Upswing Poker VPI've worked with a lot of talented poker coaches over the years in my time with Upswing Poker, but I was still absolutely blown away by Darren Elias.
His teaching style has something for everyone. Advanced players will constantly pick out nuggets of wisdom from his content that they can quickly add to their own game. Beginners will find his way of speaking easy to understand as he uses plain English to make his points.
I think any tournament poker player would be foolish to skip this course. You will enjoy watching it. You will get incredible value from it.

Tournament / Live PlayerAfter earning my first 5-digit tournament scores thanks to Nick's previous course, I was thrilled to find out that a new course was in the works.
Darren Elias teaches how to adapt in large field tournaments with easy to learn exploitative ranges that show how to play against all types of players and situations that we can find. Meanwhile Nick keeps teaching us how to avoid mistakes against tough opposition with more refined ranges that may give us the edge. Can't wait to finish absorbing all the content for my first WSOP!
