Let me start off by saying that I’m an Upswing Lab member and pay for the subscription, which I think is very worth it and in depth. But this podcast, with its short and concise episodes, starting with the fundamentals, building upon that and getting more advanced from there, I think has helped my poker game significantly more. It’s very easy to understand, comprehend, and incorporate it into your game. My only criticism of it would be that Gary Blackwood, as great as he is at explaining basics and fundamentals to laymen, can kind of talk a little too fast, making me have to rewind to re-listen. Mike Brady is also a great host, because after Gary goes over a point, he hammers it home. But this podcast is worth significantly more than the free that it is. 5/5 for sure.

This podcast has taught me a ton, pointed me towards learning even more, and is the single-greatest factor in me purchasing two separate Upswing courses. It provides extremely clear and concise intros to winning strategies in numerous critical concepts.

Such an incredible informative value. +EV for sure!

My favorite poker podcast. So much great info that can improve your win rate right away!

These guys explain some very important concepts for experienced players who want to, well, level up their game! I’ve been playing live low/mid stakes for about 20 years profitably. But I’ve learned something important on just about every episode. Understanding and implementing these concepts properly will definitely make you money. And don’t be afraid to listen to them multiple times, as they are often complex and solver based, so not always intuitive. Best of luck to all, and a big thanks to the hosts and creators!!

This is the most concise, direct, and informative poker podcast I have found. Every episode is worth listening to two or three times.

Solid information for all aspects of poker. All backed with reason and methodology. Excellent extension of the Up Swing Poker lab while on the go

Lots of focused good information delivered quickly. And enjoyably.

I’m in the upswing lab and find this a great addition to listen to in my car. Love it.

Nearly every poker podcast out there that purports to be about strategy is either just a marketing platform or an excuse for the host to opine for three hours about every boring, irrelevant topic that floats into minds (Brad Wilson, Doug Polk, Andrew Brokos), and given that poker players on average are some of the most self involved people you’ll ever meet, it’s absolutely torturous. This one is packed with bite-sized gems that are actually useful.

In-depth but concise. Love that it’s pure value in a short amount of time, not two buddies just blathering on for two hours about non-poker personal stuff. Also, it’s truly great strategic content. Not just surface stuff that’s just marketing in disguise to get you to buy their products.

I’ve played for many years but only recently started trying to up my game and this podcast so far has been very insightful. The only thing I would suggest is maybe slow down and give more descriptive play by play examples because at times it was hard to follow what was being said even for a non beginner
