Early Stage
The tournament journey starts with a deep dive into the Early Stages, where players have a lot of chips and the opponents are less experienced. You’ll learn about key moments where strategies should shift, how to handle players who enter pots without raising, and how to make wise decisions based on your position and your opponent’s actions.

Intermediate Stage
As the tournament progresses, discover essential strategies for when players can no longer re-enter and the field has thinned out.

Bubble Stages
Find out how to effectively navigate the bubble, where players are just a few spots away from earning money. This section is split into two parts:

• Soft Bubble
  When many players are still in the game.
• Hard Bubble
  The tense phase before the money is awarded.

In The Money
Learn how to adjust your strategy to take advantage of the changing stack sizes at your table and make the final push toward the final table.

The Final Table
Get ready to secure your position, climb the rankings, and close the deal. A main part of this section involves reviewing every hand from a major final table Darren won, where he earned $448,842.
