No Limit expert Adminlnternet has announced a new fortnightly coaching session for Platinum Platinum members on Wednesdays. The first one is tonight and the next one is on May 21. 

This course is aimed at 100NL players and higher, and will focus on the unusual spots you rarely come up against, but when you do, you struggle to think of the best line to take. 

Handle rare spots with lnternet

You have a very clear game plan in 'standard' situations like when to 3-bet from the big blind against a button minraise. But what about when your opponent surprises you? What is your plan when they make a 4BB button raise? 

This new fortnightly course will focus on how to react in spots that rarely happen. When the stack sizes are akward, when the opponents are weird, when you are facing check-minraises and overbets.

Key concepts will include:

• Using 'wrong' stats to read opponents. 

• Always thinking about your own range and calldown frequencies in every spot. 

• When to play maximally exploitive against strange behaviour.

You can find out more, and post hands and questions in Paul's exclusive coaching thread
