What Is PokerStars Learn?
PokerStars Learn is a free-to-use library of poker courses, strategy articles and videos designed to help poker players of all skill and experience levels.
There are six main courses on the PokerStars Learn site right now: Basics, Core, Improvers, Mindset, Tournaments, and Cash Games. Each is broken down into several lessons which are you with knowledge and skills to take your game to the next level.
For example, in the Core section, you find easy-to-digest lessons about pot control, calculating odds, and different betting concepts, while the mindset section covers topics including tilt and variance.
Completing all six courses will only take you approximately 5.5 hours, and that is time well spent even if you have played poker for several years; it is always good to have a refresher.
