The Four Types of Players That 'Poker Ambition' is Here to Help
April 12, 2024 Poker
Ambition
In this latest article, the💰 team over at Poker Ambition have put together a
piece showing you the importance of asking not just what to💰 do in certain poker spots,
but also why. They introduce a new way of looking at the game that will💰 lead to the
highest EV strategies. Check it out!
In general, there is a lack of understanding of
how poker really💰 works and how EV is generated.
The biggest problem for poker players
is not understanding the “why”. Why does a solver💰 play a certain strategy? Why does a
population have a certain leak? Why does this play actually work?
The majority of💰 poker
content will tell you what to do, however, they forget to tell you why it works,
meaning you will💰 miss understanding the principles, the mechanics behind the
game.
Additionally, this will result in you not understanding how to adapt to💰 different
circumstances, you won’t learn Poker at a deeper level. It all becomes too much for the
mind, impossible to💰 memorize and execute consistently at the tables.
Poker Ambition is
Here to Help
You are not alone! We’ve been there, we know💰 how to help you.
In our
program 'The Mechanics of Poker' we will explain how Poker really works. Due to this
💰 way of teaching, this program is for everyone and for every game type: MTT, Cash Games,
SnG’s, Live and Online.
No💰 longer will you be stuck, leaving your EV to chance.
Instead, you will change the way you approach poker, change💰 your philosophy and your
strategy. We will give you a new way of looking at the game by teaching you💰 the
mechanics that lead to highest EV strategies.
It is very important for us to highlight
this: by teaching you the💰 “why” and “how” of Poker, no longer will you be held hostage
to the same strategy that can only be💰 applied for a certain period of time or to a
specific game type or in-game situation. This is knowledge applied💰 anywhere and by
everyone.
We will teach you to think about the right things in the right order,
priority and structure💰 for you to achieve higher EV. We went through the struggles you
are going through and we know how to💰 provide what you want.

Testimonials
Teun
Mulder
"When I first came💰 in contact with Poker Ambition and TheWakko it was just
exactly what my game needed. The structured and professional way💰 they view poker helped
me a lot to improve my own game.
"From playing cash games, I was able to transfer💰 the
conceptual poker approach and PA philosophy towards MTTs as well. I am certain that
everyone who would be joining💰 the program of Poker Ambition would feel the same
way."
Luuk "Pokerkluka" Gieles
"I started my poker career playing mainly SNG’s and
💰 MTTs. Ever since I started to join forces with TheWakko back in 2024, I started to play
more Cash games💰 and my performance increased substantially. With Poker Ambition we
started to become very good in putting theory into practice.
"This resulted💰 in climbing
up to the highest stakes of online Cash, where I am daily playing games atR$50/100 and
also from💰 time to time some high stakes MTTs. I can only highly recommend the program
Mechanics of Poker, because it teaches💰 you the right things in the right order, to
achieve higher EV."
Players They've Helped
To make sure that this content is💰 valuable
and will bring you the desired EV, Poker Ambition started with high-end coaching for an
exclusive group of pros,💰 and are now opening up their proven philosophy to the
public.
Here are the four types of players they have helped💰 along the way:
Players in
Love With Data
This type of players lacked the theoretical background, and did not
understand the psychological💰 aspect of poker enough to make good decisions. For
example, if they cbet 100% of their range because they saw💰 players overfolding to a
cbet, they would end up with some tricky decisions on later streets when villain didn't
fold💰 and they didn't know what to do.
By making this type of players understand how
poker works from a theoretical perspective💰 and the “correct” way to play a spot, they
start to understand why these leaks occurred. They no longer had💰 to memorize all the
data as they now understood why the data would show a over/under fold/bluffed
spot.
Players who Tried💰 to Memorize the Solver
Players who tried to memorize certain
spots instead of understanding them often found themselves overwhelmed and lost💰 in-game
due to the number of nuances and complexity they would encounter. Memorisation and
randomising have nothing to do with💰 thinking about what you want to achieve with your
strategy or with your hand, particular line or sizing.
By starting to💰 teach them why a
solver does what it does and showing returning patterns in various situation, they
could start predicting💰 how other situations would play instead of having to memorize
all the sims. By understanding what a check vs bet💰 achieves they could estimate
situations better and see more spots where the decision was clearly better, reducing
their need to💰 randomize.
Poker stopped feeling like a grind and they actually started
to see how their new way of making decisions led💰 to better outcomes, giving them a
bigger sense of control and the feeling that there is less luck in poker💰 than they
thought.
Players Who Were Solver Wiz-Kids
They would basically explain to us how theory
worked, but then failed to ask💰 the question of how they can achieve in practice what a
solver achieves in theory? They didn’t understand how poker💰 works in the real world
(vs. human beings). They were too worried about making the GTO decision instead of the
💰 highest EV decision and not understanding the concepts behind how EV is generated to
then translate that to the situation💰 they were in.
By bringing GTO down to a bunch of
main concepts and clear objectives while playing a poker hand,💰 they started to see how
practical theory works, they were more able to adjust in situations and less paranoid
about💰 playing more exploitative poker.
Players Who Seemed to Understand it All
They may
understand it all, but they still didn’t achieve the💰 results that would match with
their skill level. They would play great from time to time, do everything needed in
💰 order to achieve their goals and later on spew it away, fall back in bad habits that
were not bringing💰 them closer to their poker goals.
They would be lazy and did not want
to deal with the hustle of opening💰 and closing tables, let alone managing more than 2
poker clients so they just hopped in the 500NL zoom pool💰 whenever they felt like
playing, no matter the opposition.
We started to analyze their thought processes in
spells of good and💰 bad plays, took a closer look at why they started to sabotage
themselves when they started to get closer to💰 their goals and took a closer look if
their 500NL zoom grind schedule was indeed in line with the goals💰 they had for their
poker career.
Now, all knowledge is no longer exclusive to our CFP, you can also make
the💰 same development in your career.
Poker Ambition is committed to your success, we
want you to become a better professional and💰 achieve better results. Subscribe here to
