I have been playing poker since I was very young -- penny ante games at family gatherings. I have played poker in casinos, clubs, and homes for many years. I have studied books about poker by Phil Helmuth, Dan Harrington, and others.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

There will be poker books referenced, but none are required for the class.
