Lesson 1: Course Introduction

Garrett lays out how the course works: 50 of the most strategically interesting hands he's ever played on livestream, presented chronologically, with a theory/exploit hybrid breakdown for every hand. He also explains how to use the "Heuristic," "Takeaway," and "Review" labels, and why you should watch the videos in order.

Lesson 2: [Pio] Solver Setup and Tips

A crash course in studying with solvers efficiently, including how Garrett uses thresholds and extrapolation to learn from a sim without memorizing grids. This is your roadmap for getting the most out of every Part 2 in the course, even if you've never opened Pio.

Lesson 1: When Opponents Empty the Clip (and Metagame)

From one of Garrett's very first livestream sessions in 2017: a deep single-raised pot against Upswing co-founder Ryan Fee, who refuses to give up on any street. A masterclass in reading river sizing and asking the key metagame question: how often does this opponent empty the clip?

Lesson 2: [Pio] Solver Fundamentals - Thresholds, Heuristics and EV

The first Pio review of the course, using an MP vs HJ single-raised pot sim. Garrett establishes his study framework: key takeaways, threshold hands, and knowing when not to go deep on a node.

Lesson 3: Leveling Recreational Opponents in 3-Bet Pots

A single-raised pot against a recurring amateur who fights fire with fire postflop. Garrett breaks down an exploitative small check-raise on a terrible board for his range and the leveling war that follows through three streets.

Lesson 4: [Pio] 3-Bet Pots 550BBs Deep (Ranges and Thresholds)

An HJ vs BTN 3-bet pot sim focused on flop raising: which draws to raise, why gutshots with backdoor flush draws get priority, and where the fold thresholds sit on a two-tone board.

Lesson 5: Turning Body Language Into Big Bluffs

An intentionally out-of-line preflop call against an infamously transparent opponent. Garrett shows how to stack sizing tells, body language, and tape-review tendencies into one confident read, and asks whether the exploit goes too far.

Lesson 6: [Pio] C-Betting (and Defending) on Broadway Boards

An HJ vs BTN single-raised pot sim revealing why the population c-bets far too often on broadway textures. Includes one of the course's most important lessons: your play can be "solver approved" and still be losing.

Lesson 7: Multiway Pots: Leading Ranges Out of Position

A multiway single-raised pot against Matt Berkey that ends facing a 161% pot all-in. Garrett covers how leading ranges should change as more players enter the pot, and whether "if you call the flop, you have to call the turn" actually holds up.

Lesson 8: [Pio] Using Solvers for Multiway Pots

Garrett's first look at what sims can, and can't, teach you multiway. He uses an LJ vs BB configuration to approximate the spot and shows how to build balanced attacking ranges when no solver output exists.

Lesson 9: BvB 3-Bet Pot vs Art

Blind vs blind against Art Papazyan, the skilled recurring opponent who sent Garrett down the PioSolver rabbit hole. Limp-reraise ranges, playing a trip-jacks board, and an 87% pot metagame bet born from an overbluffed image.

Lesson 10: [Pio] BvB 3-Bet Pots

A blind vs blind limp-reraise sim covering both players' preflop construction and the flop raising thresholds on a paired board. Ends with the uncomfortable question: do humans actually bluff here with ace high?

Lesson 11: Multiway 3-Bet Pots vs Pros and VIPs

A $200/$400 multiway 3-bet pot against Berkey and a former VIP. Garrett navigates a four-way flop with a vulnerable overpair and shows how to range multiple opponents at once when the board smashes everyone.

Lesson 12: Solver Study: SB vs LJ 3-Bet Pots

An SB vs LJ 3-bet pot sim with an honest disclaimer about its limits multiway. The most valuable content here is the preflop work: how 3-betting ranges should tighten across different blind configurations.

Lesson 13: Heads-Up 4-Bet Wars vs a Studied Pro

The infamous "19 queens" hand, a heads-up 4-bet pot against Art that tilted Garrett into thousands of hours of solver study. A raw look at 4-bet range construction deep, plus what tilt actually costs you in-game.

Lesson 14: [Pio] 4-Bet and 5-Bet Ranges Deep

An SB vs BTN 4-bet pot sim covering 5-bet bluff construction and flop strategy with condensed ranges. Garrett highlights which non-intuitive hands make the best bluffs when nobody has air.

Lesson 1: Playing Tighter Ranges in Loose Multiway Games

A rare five-way pot mixing four pros and a rec. Garrett explains why five-handed strategy is nothing like three-handed, how to balance a betting range with that many players behind, and why his big fold without a key blocker was correct.

Lesson 2: Solver Study: HJ vs BTN with Multiway Caveats

An HJ vs BTN sim used sparingly. Garrett is upfront that solves barely help five ways. The useful nodes are the heads-up turn and river, where he extracts sizing lessons before setting the sim aside.

Lesson 3: Squeeze or Call? 3-Betting with a Third Blind

A 4-bet pot against Art featuring one of the strangest nodes in the course: a turn donk designed to fold out overpairs. A deep dive into leveling wars and why live poker is about outwitting, not memorizing outputs.

Lesson 4: Board Coverage in 4-Bet Calling Ranges

An SB vs BTN 4-bet pot sim where pocket queens, near the top of the range, becomes the folding threshold. Garrett explains the blocker logic and asks whether it holds up against real humans.

Lesson 5: Setting Up the River Shove: Geometric Bluffing

A 4-bet pot hero bluff against Andy with ace-queen suited, built on precise sizing math (47% turn, 138% river shove) and a read on a transparent opponent. Ends in a "humble pie" moment that changed Garrett's entire attack strategy against him.

Lesson 6: Why Position Wins: The 3:1 EV Edge Deep

The 4-bet pot sim behind Hand 10, revealing a massive 3:1 EV edge for the in-position player at 400 big blinds. A warning against dismissing an opponent's "mistake": Andy's flop check turns out to be a brilliant exploit.

Lesson 7: QQ Bluff vs Andy

A four-way 3-bet pot cooler featuring quads and one of the toughest ranging exercises in the course. This is one of the few hands with no Pio companion, because no sim on earth can teach you to range three opponents in a multiway 4-bet tree.

Lesson 8: Wide-Range Spots: Where the Money Leaks

Blind vs blind against Andy in a limped pot where both ranges are enormous. Garrett shows why metagame reads trump blockers and hand strength in wide-range spots, culminating in a "call with 444 and pray" river decision.

Lesson 9: Limp-Reraise Ranges and RNG Calibration

The only blind vs blind single-raised pot sim in the course. Full coverage of raising vs the limp, the limp-reraise defense, and how smaller sizings drive higher betting frequencies.

Lesson 10: Button Flatting with a Rec in the Blinds

A single-raised pot against Art on a monotone-turning board where flush blockers dominate every decision. Garrett also revisits Art's history of "cheating" with sizings, including the $51K bluff that once cracked his kings.

Lesson 11: Betting Ranges on Multiway Flops

An HJ vs BTN sim following the hand three ways to the flop and heads-up beyond. Key material on raising less multiway, slowplaying more, and why you can't bluff when you're hoping your opponent doesn't hold the card you'd want to bluff with.

Lesson 1: Bet or Fold: Isolating VIPs with Pros Behind

A 3-bet pot against a transparent opponent whose betting patterns give away his entire range. Garrett demonstrates how to build a checking line purely to gather information, then combines sizing and physical tells into a confident river decision.

Lesson 2: Betting vs Recreational Buttons

A BTN vs SB 3-bet pot sim vs a rec. Garrett validates the in-position player's line as "GTO approved" and shows how a breakeven solver call is still useful as a guardrail for real-game decisions.

Lesson 3: Defending vs Huge Preflop Sizings

A 3-bet pot against Matt Berkey that ends facing a river overbet. Covers adjusting to unusually large preflop sizings and a critical exploit note: some opponents simply have it in the biggest spots.

Lesson 4: Tightening Up vs Large Open Sizings

An SB vs LJ 3-bet sim on a flush-completing runout with elite-level blocker work: why jack-ten of clubs beats king-ten of clubs as a bluff catcher, and which spade combos continue against the all-in.

Lesson 5: Adjusting to Overbets and Odd Lines

Another 3-bet pot against Berkey, this time facing a 127% pot c-bet. Garrett unpacks when massive c-bets make sense, why gameflow shaped his read, and how the sizing actually made his later-street decisions easier.

Lesson 6: Unique C-Bet Strategies in Position

A BTN vs HJ 3-bet sim with a huge 1.9:1 EV edge for the in-position player, and a counterintuitive lesson on why that doesn't mean betting small. Includes the threshold logic for defending against overbets.

Lesson 7: Folding Good Hands in Underbluffed Nodes

A three-way 3-bet pot against Berkey exploring one of the most underbluffed line types in live poker. Garrett explains why aggressive players must protect their nut range, and why the funky preflop action makes this a no-sim hand.

Lesson 8: Underbluffed Lines in Single-Raised Pots

A single-raised pot against Andy built on an exploitative T7o preflop call. The centerpiece takeaway: you can ignore theory when you truly "know", but "knowing" requires a bigger sample than most players think.

Lesson 9: Big Blind Defense vs Early Position

An LJ vs BB sim showing a startling 16% check-raise frequency on a low board, and exactly which hands do it. Ends with a river call worth a massive 40% of the pot that most players would talk themselves out of.

Lesson 10: Hero Plays in 4-Bet Pots 400BB Deep

A 4-bet pot out of position against Andy with jacks, 400 big blinds deep. A hero-play showcase anchored by one of the course's best math heuristics: don't fold getting 6:1 when only five combos beat you.

Lesson 11: Bet Range Construction: Suits and Coverage

An HJ vs BTN 4-bet sim on an ace-high board with hyper-condensed ranges. The stunner: calling the river shove with jacks is worth over 50% of the pot.

Lesson 12: Bet Sizing When Repping a Narrow Range

A 3-bet pot against Andy where Garrett hunts for the perfect river bluff while repping almost nothing. The key heuristic: when your value range is razor thin, only a massive sizing tells a believable story.

Lesson 13: Flatting from the Blinds vs Passive Pros

An SB vs LJ 3-bet sim on a paired queen board, featuring the counterintuitive "bet king-high more than ace-high" heuristic and blocker-driven river folds most players would never find.

Lesson 1: Punishing Opponents Who Never Fold to 3-Bets

A single-raised pot against Gal built entirely on metagame: after running three huge bluffs into his nutted hands, Garrett triples off for greedy sizings knowing exactly how wide he'll get paid. A lesson in exploiting opponents who call too much and Hollywood too often.

Lesson 2: Big Blind 3-Betting vs Wide Opens

A BTN vs BB sim on a jack-high board with a huge in-position EV edge. Garrett's sizing tiers: three-quarter pot with top pair, smaller with weaker pairs, plus a river call worth 80% of the pot.

Lesson 3: Bluffing Recreational Players Multiway

A four-way 3-bet pot where every opponent's discomfort is broadcast in real time. Garrett makes an unconventional all-in against a level-one thinker and explains why "what am I repping?" isn't always the right question.

Lesson 4: Sizing Up Your 3-Bets vs Loose Buttons

A 3-bet pot against Gal focused on punishing wide, sticky ranges, ending with an all-in check-raise bluff holding ace-king. Garrett contrasts how the line plays against elites versus against a specific opponent he'd shown value with before.

Lesson 5: Exploit 3-Betting: Stronger Hands, More Often

An SB vs BTN 3-bet sim covering flop sizing psychology (opponents are most comfortable against one-third pot) and turn bluff selection when the board pairs your opponent's range.

Lesson 6: Squeezing Wide vs Weak Multiway Fields

A multiway 3-bet pot with aces where a slight eye roll changes everything. Garrett hero-checks the river based on thousands of hours of history with his opponent, a case study in when intuition outranks theory.

Lesson 7: Playing Capped Ranges in Squeezed Pots

A BTN vs HJ sim confirming the hero check costs only 12% of pot, a defensible deviation, not a blunder. Also covers how four-way dynamics compress the solver's usual aggression.

Lesson 8: Punishing Small-Iso Strategies

A 4-bet pot against Andy ending in a hero fold near the top of Garrett's range. Home to the course's most quoted heuristic: when a bad player's line makes no sense, call; when a decent player's makes no sense, fold; when an elite's makes no sense, cry.

Lesson 9: Punishing Ranges Heavy in QQ–99

The 4-bet sim behind the hero fold, with a jaw-dropping data point: folding kings costs two-thirds of the pot in theory. Garrett reconciles that with why the exploitative fold was still right against this opponent.

Lesson 10: Polarized 3-Betting with Action Behind

A single-raised pot against Tom Dwan on a coordinated jack-ten board. Garrett faces a check-raise from one of poker's most feared players and walks through the leveling question: can this opponent bluff-raise against a 150% bet?

Lesson 11: [Pio] Strong Ranges on JTx Boards

An MP vs HJ sim illustrating how strong ranges collide on JTx textures. Includes surprising solver aggression, turning ace-jack and queen-jack into bluffs, and why you need a read before copying it.

Lesson 12: Facing Limp-Heavy VIPs: Adjusting Your Attack

A single-raised pot against a limp-happy VIP that becomes a study in "standard" triple barrels against recreational players. Garrett also delivers his definitive breakdown of when open-limping is defensible in straddled games.

Lesson 13: Hero Folding Multiway: Range Discipline

A multiway single-raised pot showcasing two underused weapons: the check-raise and the disciplined fold. Garrett explains why even pros can't find intuitive bluffs on this runout, making his fold, even at 3:1, straightforward.

Lesson 14: Navigating 3-Bet Pots with Wide Button Ranges

A 3-bet pot against Andy where Garrett picks off a bluff holding zero appealing blockers. The takeaway that matters: unique lines must be balanced against strong opponents, and you have to call with some huge hands to protect your calling range.

Lesson 15: Bet Range Construction from the Small Blind

An SB vs BTN 3-bet sim in one of the most common heads-up nodes in live poker, with the humbling conclusion that the best live pros heavily outperform Pio in this exact spot.

Lesson 16: Cold-Calling Discipline from the Blinds

A multiway single-raised pot where the flatters, not the raiser, own the board. Garrett covers balanced donk-leading ranges four ways, then folds to an overbet based on a read that his opponent never rushes to build huge pots without the goods.

Lesson 17: Way Flops: When Leading Makes Sense

A CO vs SB sim on donking multiway and the raise-then-overbet pattern that reps ultra narrow when deep. Also a subtle blocker lesson: why pocket sixes plays far better than fives on this river.

Lesson 1: Button Ranges with Multiple Blinds Posted

A single-raised pot exploring one of the trickiest concepts in the game: bluffing with showdown value. Garrett breaks down which blockers actually matter facing a flush-completing river and why most humans use this sizing only with boats.

Lesson 2: Straddle Adjustments to Common Nodes

A BTN vs BB sim in a super common node with a critical study lesson attached: mapping out your plan for blank turns and rivers is where the real EV hides.

Lesson 3: Wide Value 4-Betting: Sizing Up vs VIPs

A 4-bet pot against an unpredictable "button-clicker" VIP who donks into Garrett's range. Covers why raising thin for value against erratic opponents is a disaster, plus a masterclass in using table talk to extract information in a huge pot.

Lesson 4: Isolating Straddle Limpers Correctly

A wild hand against a thinking rec running an unorthodox limp-reraise strategy. Garrett gets shown a soul-read bluff, explains why the "brilliant" play was actually wildly inaccurate, and how he adjusted to a max value-heavy strategy from then on.

Lesson 5: Unique Nodes vs Thinking Recs

A blind vs blind limp-reraise sim in one of the most unique configurations in the course. Two heavyweight heuristics: solver-level trapping protects your calling range, and missing one class of hands in a single node corrupts every future street.

Lesson 6: Tape Review Payoffs: Attacking Known Leaks

A max-exploit hand against the same thinking rec, ending with a snap call against a shove. The through-line: in live poker, there's always another opportunity to pick up information before the money goes in.

Lesson 7: Bet Extrapolation: Which Hands Always Raise

An SB vs BTN 3-bet sim built around deviations against thinking recs. Features a valuable pattern: check your big draws when you expect to get check-raised by overpairs and better draws.

Lesson 1: Multi-Blind Preflop: Calling the Bottom of Range

A cautionary tale about deviating against elite opponents. Garrett makes an exploit fold with the right hand and the wrong read. Proof that when you exploit in the wrong direction, it's the most expensive mistake in poker.

Lesson 2: Big Blind Thresholds vs Early Position Opens

An LJ vs BB sim on a king-high board where top pair is effectively the nuts. Covers simplified c-bet construction ("just bet pairs with a heart") and the exact bluff-catching thresholds against a river check-raise.

Lesson 3: Unique Multiway Nodes from Unorthodox Preflop

Unorthodox preflop action produces some of the strangest multiway nodes in the course. The core lesson: when a super-VIP is in the pot, keeping them in, even with your strongest hands, is where the real money lives.

Lesson 4: Diversifying Your 3-Bet Bluffs in Position

A 3-bet pot against an elite pro featuring a massive river shove repping almost nothing. Garrett walks through the rare node where checking concedes the pot, and why he'd already committed to his river plan a street earlier.

Lesson 5: HJ vs BTN: 3-Bet Attack and Defense

An HJ vs BTN 3-bet sim on a queen-high board with detailed check-raise composition. Garrett pushes back on Pio's bluff selection with his own logic: bluffs have to come from somewhere, and some candidates are far more human-findable than others.

Lesson 6: Squeeze Defense: 4-Bet or Fold OOP

A four-way 3-bet pot, super deep, with unorthodox lines flying in every direction. The mature takeaway: part of information gathering is recognizing when a data point simply doesn't exist, and not inventing one.

Lesson 1: No-Flat Zones: SB 3-Bet-or-Fold vs Buttons

Facing a huge river raise while holding ideal blockers, the perfect collision of GTO and exploits. Garrett's verdict on whether pure theory should have won the day: "Hell. Fucking. No."

Lesson 2: SB 3-Bet Range Construction vs Semi-Pros

An SB vs BTN 3-bet sim on a deuce-paired board revealing why most bluff catchers have nearly identical EV against non-elite opponents. Includes the sharpest threshold ranking in the course.

Lesson 3: Betting the Bottom of Your Range vs Recs

Max exploits against a rec, from wider 3-bet ranges preflop to reading a wildly out-of-bounds river sizing. The closing lesson: know exactly who thinks you overbluff, and who thinks you never do.

Lesson 4: Widening 3-Bets Against Rec Buttons

An SB vs BTN 3-bet sim with a ruthless exploit takeaway: value bet ace-queen relentlessly against players who play their whole range face-up. The sim also prices a bad river call at a brutal 22% of the pot.

Lesson 5: GTO Baselines vs Unknown Elites

A tough spot against a strong pro with almost no shared history, the read-free scenario every live player dreads. Garrett leans on population tendencies and blocker logic (ace-deuce unblocks everything) to navigate back-to-back overbets.

Lesson 6: Pressing EV Edges with Pure C-Bets

An LJ vs BB sim on approximating GTO against elite opposition. Pio uncovers non-intuitive bluff candidates, and Garrett shows which simplifications keep the strategy executable in real time.

Lesson 7: Opening Ultra-Wide vs Non-Squeezers

A $500/$1000 pot in a nosebleed celebrity lineup, played for max exploitation against a recreational player. Also one of the most honest moments in the course: Garrett dissects how tilt disguises itself as overoptimistic value betting.

Lesson 8: Straddle 3-Bet Strategy: Strong Hands First

A 3-bet pot against a thinking rec with known leaks, ending in a 200% pot overbet engineered to fold out aces. The blueprint for going HAM with a strong read, while staying balanced enough to survive being wrong.

Lesson 9: Crushing the Bottom 90% of Their Range

An SB vs BTN 3-bet sim with a sobering benchmark: when an opponent piles in 1,000 big blinds, theory says you should be folding a shocking amount of your range.

Lesson 1: Multiway Ranges: Suited Hands vs Passive Players

Big multiway action with a flopped flush, and a disciplined fold most players could never make. The lesson is "know your man": when a specific opponent takes a line he's never once taken, believe him.

Lesson 2: Bet or Call? In Position with Recs Behind

A bluff against a recreational player while repping only seven combos, normally a suicide mission. Garrett explains the leveling flip: the better your opponent reads hands, the more valuable the occasional narrow-repping bluff becomes.

Lesson 3: Balanced Limping: Rare but Real

A three-street bluff against a thinking rec that GTO says should never happen with this combo. Proof that you can play an entertaining, aggressive style and maximize EV at the same time. It's just really hard.

Lesson 4: Attacking VIP Limps with Big Raises

A pure bluff-catching decision against a thinking rec, weighing a specific read against a spot he'd never been seen bluffing. Features one of the cleanest heuristics in the course: call ace-queen more than any other ace.

Lesson 5: Bluffing Strong Hand Readers

A made hand transformed into a bluff against one of the best hand readers Garrett ever faced. Sometimes the cards themselves do the storytelling, and this runout wrote the perfect script.

Lesson 6: Salvaging Bad Preflop Decisions

An admittedly spewy preflop play that snowballs into one of the most unique river bluffs of Garrett's career. A rare case where a sample size of one becomes genuinely actionable information.

Lesson 7: Big C-Bets in 4-Bet Pots Deep

An SB vs BTN 4-bet pot sim behind the huge bluff, covering big c-bets in 4-bet pots and a river node where even chopping hands prefer to fold. Garrett shows exactly which hands the solver turns into bluffs.

Lesson 8: Multiway Triple Barrels: The Final Test

The finale: a December 2023 multiway three-street bluff against an elite opponent, chosen to cap the course. Garrett runs the full leveling calculus: blocker selection, unblocking folds, and betting on his opponent believing nobody bluffs him, one last time.
