Video courses from Matthew Janda, as well as other educational materials, are receiving a lot of attention from poker players. How can you explain the great popularity of this particular author of poker training videos? The answer is simple - Janda was the first to finally articulate the concept of GTO poker and change it forever.

Matthew Janda's tutorials compare favorably with typical poker videos. The usual poker game looks like a recording of a session of some well-deserved (and even then not always) player who talks about a particular decision made during the game. Another popular format is parsing interesting hands from a database in a specialized poker software. The materials from Janda are of a completely different kind.

All of his video courses are devoted to the disclosure of various poker mathematical concepts, where only the essence is presented in a structured and without unnecessary water. No reasoning about specific hands in rare situations. Each element of the video is aimed at raising your level of thinking and playing in general.
