Today we welcome erkyl for a new video about adapting your game plan. erkyl is a passionate coach from our French community making his debut for our English Poker School. 

Our coach reviews a heads-up cash session he played recently against a regular, late at night while he was tired. 

For a while he played his standard game, but then he picked up a big read on his opponent. This video is all about how he changed his gameplan to best exploit that read, which allowed him to crush his opponent. 

You'll learn not only how to improve your reads, but the best ways to adapt in these situations and how to avoid becoming predictable in your gameplan - there is always something you can do differently.
