What Mechanics Members are saying

The Mechanics of Poker has opened my eyes to how poker really works and given me the tools to evaluate my own play. Before Mechanics, I felt lost and overwhelmed with all the training content out there. Now, I feel like I have a clear path to evaluate and improve my game
When I joined Mechanics of Poker, I had stagnated and was struggling to break through at 200nl. A year later, I was shot-taking 500nl and feeling confident that I could hold my own. The biggest change I experienced was going from essentially just randomly clicking buttons to understanding why certain plays are optimal. The course opened my eyes to what I should be doing to continuously evaluate my game to improve.
Before joining the program, I was on a GTO/exploitative exploration and really felt lost. When I got into the Mechanics of Poker, it all made sense and TheWakko proved that you can combine the best of both worlds. Now, I am confident on the baseline exploitative strategies that I implement. Being part of the exclusive Mechanics of Poker community really helped me along in my career.

What the course does is it teaches you how to think. Rather than just being told the answer to a problem, you're instead taught about how to ask the right questions and then find out for yourself. I think that's a super valuable learning process because it adds longevity to everything. I now know how to study much more effectively and I find myself problem solving in game to a higher level because my knowledge of the game has been deepened so much. I also find myself taking a lot of the lessons that Adam teaches outside of poker and into my general life as well.

It's so comprehensive and it's genuinely one of the best investments I've ever made.

The Mechanics of Poker is the best content of our former Poker Ambition CFP program.

After reaching high-stakes poker themselves, Rene "TheWakko" Kuhlman and Floris "Xplode777" Van der Ven founded the Poker Ambition CFP (coaching-for profit) coaching program in which they took 18 fellow dutch players and helped them rise up the stakes. 
A proven philosophy
After the 2 year CFP program finished these were the results.

With the Mechanics of Poker knowledge our former CFP students managed to go from breakeven/small winners to doubling their win rate’s while moving up the stakes!

From the Poker Ambition CFP to The Mechanics of poker

When Floris shifted his focus to the crypto market, Rene "TheWakko" partnered with his Mental-Game and Performance coach, Adam Carmichael. Together, they undertook the task of deconstructing the two-year CFP journey to distill its core principles for poker success. Combining their own extensive experience in playing and coaching poker, they gave birth to The Mechanics of Poker program.

Traditional CFP modules, while having their merits, are not suited for everyone. Most conventional courses cater to the recreational player market, providing incomplete, low-level content. We aspired to package this knowledge in a way that benefits the broader player base, offering the freedom of a course combined with the quality and proven philosophy of a CFP program. All of this, without the long-term commitment typically associated with CFP programs, where students often have to commit to two-year contracts and share a significant portion of their profits (on average, our students paid $25,000 a year in profit cuts to gain access to this knowledge).

What Mechanics Members are saying

I'm a professional poker player playing live cash and the mechanics of poker has helped me improve my game and build the foundation for the next decade of my poker growth. Poker players are lucky that the highest quality education is still so cheap. An undergraduate degree costs 6-figures in the US!
Many thanks to Wakko and Adam for this course and all the time that has been spent on it. The Mechanics of Poker made a night and day difference to how I think about and approach poker, to which I am super grateful

The program's Technical section has brought a clarity to the game which I did not have before, and has made me look at it in a different way. And the Mental side has shown me why sometimes I approach spots incorrectly, down to my own biases, and how to improve this.

Trying to write this review without it sounding totally cheesy is tough, but huge thanks to Wakko and Adam for putting in so much time and effort into this course. Seriously, I appreciate it a ton. I didn't really know what to expect when I signed up. Most courses I've taken before were kinda shallow. But diving into the nitty-gritty of poker in this one blew my mind! It's completely changed how I see and play the game. I'm stoked and super thankful for that!

TheWakko

Ever since TheWakko, Xplode7777 and Pokerkluka started working together closely, their careers have skyrocketed. Together, they formed Poker Ambition. After achieving the desired success in their own poker careers, they decided to help other players through the coaching program. During this period of two years, they learned so much more about teaching poker, and what it takes to succeed.  This resulted in TheWakko going into ‘TheLab’ and dedicated all his time to figure out what poker success comes down to. He transformed that into a philosophy, which he will be teaching you in the technical part and management & soft skills part of the Mechanics of Poker program.

Our program is designed for both professional and semi-professional poker players who play 100-500NL online or 5/5-10/20 live games. If you're looking to enhance your poker skills, mental game, and overall performance while aspiring to succeed at higher stakes, you've come to the right place. 

What skill levels should participants have to join the program?

The coaching program is designed to help semi-professional and professional poker players who play 100-500NL online or 5/5-10/20 live games reach higher stakes, and as such, it is quite advanced. If you are a recreational player or play below these stakes, chances are the program may be too advanced or above your budget for your needs. However, feel free to prove us wrong and join the program

What distinguishes the Mechanics of Poker 2.0 program from other coaching programs?

The Mechanics of Poker stands as the most comprehensive coaching program available, teaching all essential aspects needed for you to excel as a successful poker player.

Is the program suitable for online and live poker players?

Yes, our program is designed to benefit both online and live poker players. We focus on the "why" and the mechanics behind strategies, ensuring that our coaching is valuable to players in both environments. Our comprehensive approach provides insights and skills that are universally applicable, making it a versatile choice for players seeking improvement in any poker setting.

Is the program suitable for MTT players or focused on Cash-games?

Our program is suitable for MTT players as we focus on the mechanics, the "why" behind strategies. It's the same game; however, the variables are often different. For example, you play with wider ranges due to antes and no rake which changes the interaction and equities on different boards. You encounter lower SPR situations more frequently, altering the preferred strategy. However, the concepts behind the strategies are what we teach, and those remain the same regardless of format or even game type (we have had some PLO players go through our program and found it very helpful).

Do i need any prior solver or data analyses knowledge to join the program?

While it might help if you are familiar with Solver tools and data programs like H2N or HM, it's definitely not a must. In the program, we will explain the most important things you need to know that these programs can teach you in order to make more progress in your poker career.

The program is self-paced, allowing you to progress at your own speed. You will have lifetime access to the program material, including monthly group coaching calls, personal coaching sessions, a vibrant community for ongoing support and any future updates and content that gets added to the program.
