Foreword by Lou Krieger

“Pokerology is the most incredibly comprehensive online learning site I’ve seen in all my years in poker. And what’s more, it’s aimed squarely at beginning and intermediate players—not at professionals trying to eke out a little more know-how on their way to fame and fortune. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s just that you really have to walk before you can run, and run before you can fly. And if you want to jump start your poker education and raise your game, this is the place to do it.

At Pokerology, the learning never ends. And if you’re aspiring to be the very best poker player you can become, your learning should never end either. Poker is a game of knowledge, information, and judgment, and the state of the art is always changing. In fact, poker has changed so much in recent years that if we chiselled a winning 2005 poker player our of a time capsule, he’d be a pathetic loser for quite a while—until he digested all the strategic changes that have changed the game in less than a decade.

Pokerology continues to grow and expand, and as complete as the site is, it will never be completely finished. As the game changes the site will continue to change with it so that your poker education is always on point, forever on the cutting edge, and eternally up-to-date with contemporary thinking and know how.

Welcome to Pokerology. May your game grow, expand, and prosper, and may you keep flopping aces.”

Lou Krieger authored many best-selling poker books, including ‘Hold’em Excellence‘ and ’Poker for Dummies‘ and is rightly regarded as one of poker’s greatest ever teachers.

The Poker School Tour

With a strong emphasis on quality, our poker school offers a true multimedia learning experience. Let’s take a moment to explore the features of our poker school, starting with our poker lessons:

The Poker Lessons

Nearly all of our poker lessons contain video in addition to written text. We also use quizzes in many of our lessons and each of these elements is implemented onto a single page with the use of module tabs, providing greater usability and convenience.

As well-written and comprehensive as the text articles are, not everyone learns by reading. Videos also allow for deeper discussions on certain topics, particularly with the use of hand examples to effectively master the subject matter. It comes down to personal preference – we give you the choice of what works best for you, before testing your knowledge. The use of quizzes give immediate feedback, helping to aid the overall learning process.

The Study Guide

If you’re a beginner then our poker study guide is your ideal starting point. We don’t overwhelm beginners with jargon or assumption of knowledge and the study guide is written in a straightforward and accessible style. It neatly brings together the most relevant lessons, supplemental videos, and other poker school training material. The study guide will take you step-by-step and provide the structure that’s needed when first learning how to play poker.

Browse Lessons by Subject

Players with more experience can browse through all of our poker lessons, which we have grouped into categories. Beginners need structure, so should follow our study guide, but we have lots of poker lessons and too many to fit into a single poker course. The ability to browse our poker lessons by subject or topic provides greater flexibility, allowing you to study at your own pace and work on the parts of your game that need improvement.

The Video Library

Video tutorials are a core component of our poker school. Many of our poker lessons contain video, embedded into each page. Our video library contains a growing range of additional video content, designed to supplement our poker lessons. They are typically longer than those of our video based lessons and you’ll find in-depth discussions about poker concepts, along with hand history analysis and full reviews of poker sessions, which provide a valuable learning experience.

Reference Charts

We have created several handy poker charts for aspiring poker players, such as basic poker odds and probability tables. Committing this type of information to memory can only be beneficial. We also have starting hand charts for beginners that can be used as a reference. Each of our chart loads as a PDF, meaning they be viewed on screen, bookmarked or better still, can be printed and studied offline.
