Impressive Turnout at BBP Academy

Last weekend, the Bluff/Black Belt Poker Academy made its third outing of the year with Neil Channing, Nik Persaud and Alex Rousso once again combining forces at the Grosvenor Victoria in London.

The topic of discussion was 'Accumulating Chips in Tournaments' with mentors assessing the various playing styles available to players. Whilst Neil highlighted the advantages of the small ball style, Nik argued why the loose-aggressive style was the style of the future. Alex, meanwhile, suggested the benefits to adopting a tight-aggressive style.

As always, players were encouraged to debate points made, as well as participate in group workshops in which mock hands are played out with the mentors answering any questions and critiquing the various decisions made. Also offering his expertise was Adam Latimer, who although qualified in the Orange Belt Academy Freeroll, has since worked himself up to Brown Belt and was on hand to share his thoughts and know-how.

Upon conclusion of the Academy, players were entered into the evening's £50 freezeout hosted by the Vic. As an added bonus, Black Belt Poker were offering free Skype sessions to the final four Academy players. The winners of the last-longer were Caroline Salvatore, John Thompson, Paul Walters and Keith Greaves. They will all be hearing from our Blue/Brown Belts very soon.

Nick Spiers: "It was a great day followed by an exceptional evening. How the so-called poker players out there who want to improve their game cannot see the value in attending an Academy day I just cannot fathom - three top class poker pros spending six hours talking with passion about a game they all obviously love, and all for the price of a substandard plumber! Get in on the next one before they realise they are undercharging.

Chris Nicol: "I am very grateful to all at Black Belt Poker and Bluff Europe for the training and look forward to future events and using the full features on the site."

Anne Loughlin: "It was an amazing value day and I made the investment back twice over that same evening, so can only imagine it will pay for itself over and over!"

Caroline Salvatore: "The course was excellent and I enjoyed it immensely."
