Upswing Road To Victory

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.
