Our popular new small stakes coach asimos returns with a new series called Play Loose, Win Big, which is designed to increase your profits and enjoyment from poker. 

Playing loose is much more fun than playing a 21/18 style. If you are having more fun and winning, you will be more motivated to work on your game. 

Our coach will show you how to develop a loose gameplan and each new lesson will approach a different table position. In this first video we look at your UTG loose gameplan. 

This is all about staying open minded, thinking outside the box, beating the game and most importantly having fun

If you want to learn more about how our coach developed this style, you may also want to follow his popular blog, which since 2014 has been documenting his steady rise from NL25 to where he is now.

Warning: Please be advised that in order to win with a loose playing style, you need to be aware of what is going on pre and post flop. Simply playing more hands will not win you money on its own.

  

We recommend you watch the video, ask questions and discuss the strategy advice in our forums.
