How about taking it a step further and mastering brilliant bluffing?<\/p>\n<p>A lot of players are adequate at pulling off basic bluffs, but only a few can say that they are truly good at bluffing.\u00a0 Well, APT pro SplitSuit Sweeney is coming to the rescue. SplitSuit is offering an exclusive APT webinar on the topic of Brilliant Bluffing. In this webinar, he will share his approach for analyzing whether we are bluffing often enough, and explain his very own system for bluffing.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>SplitSuit&#8217;s Background<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>James Sweeney began playing poker in high school, but really started to focus on the game in college. By the time he graduated from college he had already founded his website SplitSuit.com and was coaching others in how to play poker. After losing thousands on Full Tilt Poker following Black Friday, James decided to coach poker full time. In the years since, he\u00a0has worked with over 500 students of all skill levels and specialties. He has also produced over 500 coaching videos (with more than 5 million views on YouTube), hosted podcast episodes with Red Chip Poker, and written several books. The books he has written or co-written include <em>Dynamic Full Ring Poker: Beyond the Basics<\/em>, <em>Unfolding Poke<\/em>r, and <em>Stop! 10 Things Good Poker Players Don&#8217;t Do<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Brilliant Bluffing Webinar Details<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>SplitSuit has been kind enough to share his expertise with APT users. He believes that most players bluff far too rarely. He feels these players are overly nitty when 3-betting, 4-betting, betting turns, barreling rivers, and when making postflop raises. James wants to help us all bluff better. In this webinar, he offers\u00a0a behind-the-scenes-look at bluffing. He promises to show how bluffing ties together with value betting, to tell us how often we should be bluffing on each street, and to teach us how to make profitable adjustments on the fly.<\/p>\n<p>[bctt tweet=&#8221;Join James SplitSuit Sweeney as he shares his thoughts on Brilliant Bluffing&#8221; username=&#8221;PokerTraining&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>James &#8216;SplitSuit&#8217; Sweeney will host this exclusive webinar on <strong>Thursday April 12<sup>th<\/sup> at 8:00pm EST<\/strong>.
