Yes. Every course — the five Hold’em levels plus the tournament, PLO4 and PLO5 courses — every quiz and every tool is free to use without an account. If we ever offer paid coaching, the courses will stay free.

Take the free Find Your Level quiz. It takes about five minutes and recommends a starting level based on what you already know. Complete beginners can go straight to Level 1 — Foundations.

The core Hold’em course has five levels, from the rules of the game in Level 1 to mindset and study habits in Level 5. Specialist courses in tournaments, PLO4 and PLO5 are split into stages. Mark lessons complete as you go, then pass each short quiz to earn that level’s or stage’s badge.

Luck decides individual hands, but skill decides results over time. Good decisions — which hands to play, when to fold, how to size bets — make a measurable difference over thousands of hands. That said, short-term results are unpredictable and no strategy guarantees winning.
