Sneak Peek Inside Destroy Live Cash by Garrett Adelstein

Most live pros wait for the fish to make a mistake. Garrett Adelstein attacks the whole table. Here’s how he does it.

Garrett’s brand new Destroy Live Cash course hands you his entire decision-making process, from GTO baseline to exploits, across 50 of the most strategically significant hands of his career.

You’ve probably watched Garrett play some of these pots on Live at the Bike, Hustler Casino Live, and other livestreams with hundreds of big blinds in play. Across the table from pros like Tom Dwan, Art Papazyan, Andy Stacks, and Matt Berkey, as well as the player types you’ll find in your games: VIPs, recreational players, thinking recs, and more. The stream showed you what he did. This course shows you exactly why.

Garrett has never taught his approach publicly. Not on a stream, not in a video, not anywhere. This is the first time. He spent countless hours perfecting this course and it shows.

Here’s a look at what’s inside, including three sneak peek videos.

What’s Inside Destroy Live Cash?

The course comes with 35+ hours of video training split into 9 sections and 87 lessons:

1

Welcome to the Course
2 lessons
Learn how the course is built, how to watch it for the biggest payoff, and how to study a solver without memorizing grids. You’ll get value out of every Pio lesson even if you’ve never opened one.
2

Live at the Bike: Early Streams and Exploits
Hands 1-7 · 14 lessons
Garrett’s earliest livestream hands, including the hand that sent him into the solver for good. You’ll learn to read river sizing, spot the opponent who will empty the clip, and turn body language into a big bluff. Plus one of the most important lessons in the course: a play can be solver approved and still be losing.
3

Leveling Up: The Study Era Begins
Hands 8-13 · 11 lessons
This is where Garrett’s game changed for good. You’ll pick up the shortcuts he built from thousands of hours of study: how to size bluffs across three streets, how much position is really worth when stacks get deep, and where the money leaks in wide-range spots. Guardrails you can actually remember with a big pot on the line.
4

Million Dollar Cash Games
Hands 14-20 · 13 lessons
How the game shifts at 300+ big blinds against Matt Berkey, Andy Stacks, and transparent VIPs. You’ll learn to handle huge preflop sizings and overbets, spot underbluffed lines, and use simple math shortcuts to make big calls with confidence.
5

The Hustler Casino Live Era
Hands 21-30 · 17 lessons
The biggest section in the course, and peak Garrett. You’ll learn how to punish players who never fold, when a live read should override theory, and how to react when an opponent’s line makes no sense. Includes hands against Tom Dwan and limp-happy VIPs.
6

Unorthodox Lines in Massive Games
Hands 31-34 · 7 lessons
Overbets, odd sizes, and lines nobody else at the table would take. You’ll learn when bluffing with showdown value makes sense, why raising thin against erratic VIPs is a disaster, and how tape review turns a rec’s known leaks into a snap call.
7

Deviations vs Elite Opponents
Hands 35-38 · 6 lessons
Exploiting bad players is the easy part. This section shows you how to find edges against pros who study as hard as you do, when a deviation is justified, and when to stop. It opens with the most expensive mistake in poker: exploiting in the wrong direction.
8

Exploiting Thinking Recs
Hands 39-43 · 9 lessons
The rec who has done some work can be a tricky player in live poker, and you face them every session at $2/$5 and $5/$10. You’ll learn to widen your 3-bets against them, value bet relentlessly when they play face-up, and build overbets that fold out aces.
9

Taking Hands to the Limit
Hands 44-50 · 8 lessons
Garrett’s boldest plays. Three-street bluffs GTO says should never happen, bluff catches against elite hand readers, and folds most players could never make. You’ll learn when to trust a read over the math, and when to believe an opponent who takes a line he has never taken.

Every one of those 87 lessons runs on the same three-step framework:

🔑

The Destroy Live Cash Framework
Know the GTO baseline. Find the exploitative deviation. Punish the mistake.

Simple to say. Very hard to do. The lessons in this course show you how and with real hand examples against common player types.

Sneak Peek Videos

Welcome to Destroy Live Cash

Start here. This is the very first video in the course. No hand, no solver, no villain. Just Garrett welcoming you in and setting up what the next 35 hours will do for your game:

The Hand That Sent Garrett to the Lab (Hand 7 vs Art Papazyan)

March 2018, $100/$200 on Live at the Bike, heads-up in a 4-bet pot. Garrett has pocket Kings and bets all three streets. Then Art raises the river. By Garrett’s own account, this hand led to thousands of hours of solver study. Here is the full breakdown, tilt and all:

Folding Pocket Kings to Andy Stacks (Hand 25)

A 4-bet pot on Hustler Casino Live, 470 big blinds deep. Andy check-raises the turn and Garrett folds Kings. The solver calls it a coin flip. Garrett explains why, against this opponent, it wasn’t close:

What the Beta Testers Said

Before launch, we gave a small group of serious live cash players access to the course and asked them for brutal honesty.

One of them, a live cash pro, sent this back:

“Man this is some gas. I hope he’s charging a lot of money for this. [$999 is] way too low.

I’ve prob invested 30-40k in the last 10 years on coaching, courses, books everything lol. This is the best NL live cash stuff I’ve come across pretty easily.”

Course context: Garrett’s students pay $1,000+ an hour to learn from Garrett 1-on-1. Destroy Live Cash distills the core lessons from Garrett’s coaching into one complete course.

Rapid Fire Poker (Bonus Course, Free During Launch Week Only)

Rapid Fire Poker, the bonus course from Garrett Adelstein included free with Destroy Live Cash during launch week

Destroy Live Cash goes deep. Rapid Fire Poker goes fast.

In this standalone course, Garrett takes 10 more hands from his career and locks in so you get the concepts as quickly as possible. No solver audit. No extended preflop breakdown. Just the decision that mattered, why he made it, and how to spot the same opportunity in your own game.

⚠️

Launch Week Bonus: Free Until Monday

Rapid Fire Poker costs $199 on its own, but you get it free when you enroll in Destroy Live Cash before 11:59pm PT on Monday, September 14th. After that, it’s gone from the bundle.

3 More Bonuses Included With Every Purchase

These three come with the course no matter when you buy.

Bonus 1

Garrett’s Deep Stack Preflop Ranges

Garrett Adelstein deep stack preflop ranges, a bonus included with Destroy Live Cash

Most preflop charts are built for 100 big blind tables with no ante. That’s not how Garrett’s games play, and if you play live, deep-stacked poker, it’s probably not how yours play either.

Garrett worked directly with the solver team at Lucid Poker to build these, supplying the game structure, stack depth, and raise sizes himself. The result is 200+ charts for the common spots in 300bb+ games, built around the exact situations at the heart of the course.

Bonus 2

A Free Copy of Beneath the Cards

Beneath the Cards, Garrett Adelstein's memoir, included free with Destroy Live Cash

Garrett’s memoir, covering nearly 25 years at the highest stakes in poker. It’s also where he shares his side of Jack-Four, the most infamous livestreamed hand ever, for the very first time.

Physical copies ship to U.S. addresses while supplies last. Members outside the U.S. can request the ebook.

Destroy Live Cash FAQ

QHow much does the course cost?

Destroy Live Cash costs $999 for lifetime access. One-time payment, no subscription. Garrett’s Rapid Fire Poker course costs $199, but you get it as a free bonus if you enroll during launch week (offer expires September 14th at 11:59pm PT).

QIs the course appropriate for new players?

This is not Poker 101. You should already understand position, ranges, pot odds, and basic postflop play before jumping in.

That said, you don’t need to be a solver nerd or a high-stakes player either. Plenty of strong intuitive players have never opened a solver in their life, and this course is built for them too.

If you’re just getting started, you’re better off going with the Upswing Lab until you have the fundamentals down.

QWhat stakes is it for?

Live cash players at $2/$5 and above, or smaller games that regularly run deep. The villains in these hands look a lot more like the players in your game than you’d expect.

QI’ve never studied GTO. Is this over my head?

No. Garrett teaches the 80/20 of poker theory using practical heuristics, not endless solver frequencies. You don’t need a solver to take the course.

QIs this an anti-GTO course?

Not at all. Garrett uses GTO as guardrails, not handcuffs. The whole approach starts with a sound theoretical baseline, then finds the spots where the player across from you gives you a real reason to leave it.

QCan I get a free trial?

We do not offer a free trial. However, there are full preview lessons available on this article.
