I'm done.
There is nothing more I can possibly teach about poker!
The Idea Behind Play Fearless Poker ♦️
But something always nagged in the back of my mind.
And I started hearing it loud and clear from my private students in particular.
They told me, Nathan your Elite Poker University is great...
It teaches me everything I need to know to beat 95% of the players you will find in all small and mid stakes poker games.
But what about that small group of really solid good poker players, who take the game just as seriously as I do?
As I move up the stakes, these players seem to show up in my games more and more often.
How do I beat them?
Oops, guess I missed something.
That was the seed that started the project: Play Fearless Poker.

The Real Key to Poker Success - Win More Pots Without the Best Hand
Let me ask you a question:
What do you do when you completely miss the flop?
You probably already know the kinda spot I’m talking about.
Example:
You raise preflop with A♠️K♥️.
Aggressive player calls you and the flop comes: 9♣️8♦️4♠️
You’ve got nothing.
No pair. No draw. Just two big cards and a dream.
Do you just check and fold?
After all, you already know that the Aggressive player is going to bet or try to raise you.
Because that's what Aggressive players always do.
And the last time you tried to fight back against them they quickly snapped off your bluff.
So what should you do here?
Here's What Most Poker Players Do...
If you’re like most poker players (especially the ones stuck grinding the lower stakes), the answer is you check, they bet, and you fold.
Or maybe you make a weak bet with your A♠️K♥️ praying and hoping that they just fold their hand.
And sure, once in awhile they do.
But most of the time you know they are going to call you or raise you.
And then the Turn comes with another brick: 3♥️
You throw up your hands, toss your A♠️K♥️ away, and complain about your endless "bad luck."
Hand after hand. Session after session. You keep waiting for a better flop. A better runout. A better hand.
But it rarely happens.
You keep spinning your wheels for months or even years on end.
In an endless cycle of ups and downs. Break-even, frustrating, mediocre poker results.
What If There Was Another Way?
But here’s the truth that nobody tells you...
Anybody can win when they hit.
There is literally zero skill required to play good poker when you get dealt A♥️A♦️ every hand or flop a straight.
That's easy.
The real money in poker comes from knowing how to win even when you don’t have anything, at all.
I'm talking about taking the pot away from them when your A♠️K♥️ totally missed the board.
Or you completely miss your flush draw with 9♥️8♥️ on the River (yet again).
That’s what separates the pros from the amateurs.
That's how the best poker players in the world continue to get ahead again and again.
And that’s exactly what my brand-new course, Play Fearless Poker, was built to teach you.
Most Poker Players Have This One Massive Leak (And Don’t Even Know It)
I’ve coached thousands of poker players over the years.
And the #1 leak I see (even in so-called “solid” regulars) is they simply give up too often.
- They give up when they miss the flop
- They give up when the board looks "too scary"
- They give up when they miss their draw on the River
But you don’t beat good solid regulars by playing scared.
You beat them by putting pressure on them in all the right spots.
✅ You beat them by bluffing when your story makes sense.
✅ You beat them by calling them down when you know they’re range capped (and full of it).
✅ You beat them by forcing them into difficult spots again and again...until they break.
And that’s what Play Fearless Poker is all about.
It’s 12+ hours of advanced video lessons focused on one simple idea:
How to get you winning more pots without the best hand.
There is no fancy GTO, no solvers and no PHD in advanced mathematics required.
Play Fearless Poker is instead based on the simple proven strategies that I have used throughout my entire 10+ year career as a professional poker player.
I made it for serious low and mid stakes poker players who are tired of getting "somewhere around break-even" results at the poker tables.
And those who are ready to finally take their poker game, and their profits, to the next the level.
Most of the Time in Poker You Won't Have Anything
Here's a sobering little fact that many poker players fail to even consider.
2 out of 3 times on average in poker, you won't have anything at all on the flop.
You know, you look down at K♦️Q♦️, a beautiful hand!
So you raise before the flop.
Decent regular player calls.
Flop comes: 4♥️8♠️3♥️
Sigh.
Not again...
Most people just give up in these spots.
And this is exactly why most people struggle to win at poker!
But how do you actually start winning these pots you are probably asking yourself?
Simple.
You need to start taking away more pots like this from good poker players who take this game seriously just like you do.
And that's exactly what Play Fearless Poker shows you how to do.
Don't Bluff the Fish 🤦♂️
Let me tell you something you already know...
We don't get ahead in poker by trying to bluff the recreational players (aka the fish 🐟) because they will simply call you down!
Fish don't fold anything. They love to chase any draw. Any pair.
Heck, they will call you down with two napkins!
In fact, if you are still having trouble beating up on the weaker players, my other course, Elite Poker University, will likely be a better fit for you.
There are literally hundreds of step-by-step example hands in there showing you the proven strategies to crush the weakest players.
My Elite Poker University also goes into much more detail on the fundamental strategies all poker beginners need to know in order to start winning quickly.
For example:
What hands to play. How much to bet. How much to raise etc.
Play Fearless Poker Teaches You How to Beat Good Poker Players Instead
Play Fearless Poker focuses instead on how to beat the strongest players in your games.
You will how to outplay solid thinking players even when you flop nothing at all with your K♦️Q♦️ or completely miss your flush draw once again by the River.
Because this is where the real money comes from in poker.
You can only get so far in this game by beating up on the weak spots.
Because as you move up the stakes, these players become much less common.
So if you really want to get world class results in this game, then you need to learn how to beat strong players too.
So that is why I made Play Fearless Poker for serious poker players who have already mastered the basics, and are looking for that extra edge to take their game to the next level 🚀

Missed the Flop? Here’s Why That’s No Longer a Problem
One of the biggest frustrations in poker is getting dealt a premium hand…and then completely missing.
You raise with Q♠️Q♥️, get one caller, and the flop comes A♦️K♦️7♣️.
You know you’re behind. You’re out of position. And you’re lost.
So you check. They bet. And you fold.
Over time, this costs you a lot of money.
Not just because you lose these pots but because you become predictable.
Smart regulars start attacking you constantly.
They know you’ll give up when you miss.
They know you’ll fold the river unless you’ve got the nuts.
And they exploit the hell out of you for it.
In Play Fearless Poker, I show you exactly how to fight back.
- You’ll learn how to bluff your missed draws on the river.
- How to float on the flop and take it away later.
- How to read board texture and opponent tendencies to spot the perfect bluffing opportunities.
You’ll stop folding in fear and start winning hands you used to give up on.
You’ll also learn:
1) How to use "scare cards" and "equity cards" to your advantage.
2) When to represent hands your opponent can’t have.
3) How to size bets that apply maximum psychological pressure
By the end of the course, missed flops won’t scare you anymore.
You see them as an opportunity instead.

The River: Where Pots Are Won and Lost
Let’s talk about the river.
The pot is big. You’re facing a huge bet.
You’ve got 3rd pair with A♦️6♦️. Or maybe a busted draw.
Do you fold again?
Or do you finally stand your ground?
This is where the real decisions get made in poker.
But most players have no idea what to do.
They either fold way too often or call way too light.
In Play Fearless Poker, I show you how to confidently navigate these tough river spots.
You’ll learn:
- How to sniff out desperation bluffs
- How to use blockers to make big folds
- How to turn your missed draws into profitable river bluffs
- How to tell believable stories that force your opponents to fold
These aren’t just abstract ideas either.
I break it down hand by hand.
For Example:
How to bluff you J♥️T♥️ when you miss your draw (yet again) by the River and an Aggressive player makes a big bet.
In video #28 I walk you step by step how to take this pot away and win the hand with Jack High!
Play Fearless Poker, Real Hands, Real Results
You’ll see dozens of real example hands where I take you through every street and every decision I make.
What I’m thinking. Why I’m betting. Why I’m checking. Why I’m raising.
And most importantly why I’m making each bluff believable.
Because that’s the secret.
Anyone can click the bet button or toss some chips in the pot.
But the best bluffs tell a story your opponent believes.
That’s what I teach you in Play Fearless Poker.
We even dive into river bluff catch spots, showing:
1) When to look your opponent up light.
2) When to snap fold and save your stack.
3) How to reverse engineer their range based on action.
If you struggle with River decisions, this section alone will transform your winrate 📈
We also talk about how to control pot size, how to adjust to sticky players, and how to adapt your river bluffing frequency to your image at the table.
By the end, you’ll see the River not as a danger zone but as your biggest weapon.
If you’ve ever watched a poker training video and still felt unsure what to do at the table...

Why Bluffing Works (When Done Right)
Let’s clear something up:
Bluffing is not about being reckless.
It’s not about randomly jamming all-in or trying to be “fancy.”
Bluffing is about applying pressure at the right time against the right player in the right situation.
And that’s what Play Fearless Poker teaches you.
You’ll learn:
- Which board textures are best for bluffing
- Which opponents are most likely to fold
- How to use your blockers to bluff smarter
- How to size your bets for maximum pressure
- When to shut it down and save your chips
Because smart bluffing is what makes you dangerous.
It’s what makes players hesitate before they fire another bet.
It’s what gets you paid on your big hands because your opponents don’t know where they stand anymore.
Once you understand the psychology behind bluffing, everything changes.
You stop being the guy who folds too often. Or the guy who bluffs too much.
You become the player who’s always in control.
You’ll learn how to represent:
- Missed straight draws that suddenly hit
- Backdoor flushes
- Weird two pair combinations that regulars fear
And how to build a story from the flop to the river that makes your opponent fold top pair face-up.
I even cover combo bluffs versus air balls so you always have equity when you apply pressure.
You’ll learn how to keep a mental count of your bluffing frequency and balance your game so that your opponents can never quite figure you out.
