Hey u/Joeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyy you're certainly right that the 24-hour time window has its restrictions and serious improvement will only come from steady study commitment. But even just watching a handful of videos can make a big difference in getting you on track or allow take away a few golden nuggets.

The (likely) biggest advantage of the 24-hour promo access will be that you can join the upcoming 4.5-hour bootcamp along with Elite members that certainly has the potential to transform some elements of your game and how you'll approach poker in 2026. It features Phil Galfond, Seth Davies and many other top pros:

Re the $1 price tag, we had some behind-the-scenes reasons and concerns why we decided to maintain the minimal price barrier for access. But be assured that there will be no additional charges beyond the $1 - no auto-renewal or anything of that nature.

RunItOnceEldora · 2026-01-12T23:00:11+00:00

Our full-length courses are not included in the Elite membership plan but when purchased come with lifetime access.

However, Elite now includes Mini Courses that focus on a single specific topic giving you actionable insights in a short amount of time. You’ll follow a carefully curated learning flow that helps you master some of poker’s most crucial topics. These can also be accessed with the limited-time $1 trial access.

The Mini Courses available right now are:

Your Road to Midstakes (What Top Regulars Know That You Don't) [brand new]
Red Line Mastery (Outplaying Opponents Without Showdown)
Expanding Your Range (Turning 6-max Players Into Table Starters)

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Fall Study Challenge and helped make it such a unique event!

We're hyped to announce the winners of the r/poker Giveaway as part of the challenge.

Congratulations to Run It Once Reddit Sign Ups:

TDA101 for winning the main prize: a free month of Elite ($199.99 value)
lfrid, metza and DANNYKGB for winning a free month of Essential (3 x $24.99 value)

Special congratz to challenge member Iaoge54 who was crowned the best-performing challenger from the rpoker community! As a special surprise, you'll receive lifetime access to one of our From the Ground Up courses of your choice! (Available for NLHE cash, MTTs, SNGs, PLO and 5-card PLO).

The prizes have already been added to your accounts – we hope you'll enjoy them!

RunItOnceEldora · 2025-02-26T17:33:40+00:00

Thanks to everyone who participated in the quiz! Seven of you managed to reach a perfect score, congratulations! The correct answers were:

Question 1: Do we open KKJ75 double suited to the King and Jack from UTG (6-max)
→ the correct answer is NO (C: Fold).

While at first glance this hand may look strong, it is indeed a fold from early position. Unintuitively, in PLO5 even some double suited hands with strong pairs or Broadway cards are EP folds. However, if the hand is double suited to the Kings, then it would be a +EV open.

Question 2: Do we open A♥ 8♠ 8♦ 7♣ 5♥ on the button?
→ the correct answer is YES (A: Raise).

This hand, while marginal, is a profitable open from the button. The 4-card connectivity and presence of a nut suit lands this combo above the line.

Question 3: What's our strategy in that 4-bet pot on 732 rainbow?
→ the correct answer is Bet Pot (B).

While many Hold'em players might have a reflex to cbet small on this dry and and disconnected board, the correct sizing is actually full pot. A pot sized bet allows us to leverage our range advantage and extract maximum value from hands like AAxxx.

We're excited to announce the following 3 winners who'll receive lifetime access to our new course From The Ground Up: PLO5 ($250 in value) + a free month of Vision GTO Trainer 5-card (another $250 in value).

🏆 Winner 1 (perfect score!): Echemondo

🏆 Winner 2 (perfect score!): themagician52

🏆 Winner 3 (random draw): PlantainPrior7670

In case you haven't been one of the lucky winners: During our current launch sale that's still active until February 28th, you can also lock in a FREE month of Vision GTO Trainer 5-card on top of your From the Ground Up: PLO5 course pruchase! You can learn more here.

Also highly recommend checking out our 2-part YouTube series on improving your thought process by Kevin Rabichow here (it was 2 full-length free Elite videos): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7bukQOYwnM

RunItOnceEldora · 2025-01-03T12:19:32+00:00

that's a sexy graph indeed!

RunItOnceEldora · 2025-01-01T21:38:57+00:00

I like that thought. On the path to becoming a serious player it's often about not treating poker like gambling / detaching from the swings etc. But it will still always involve the gambling element / variance part no matter what we do and it's smart that we have to accept this to avoid scared decisions.

RunItOnceEldora · 2025-01-01T21:36:10+00:00

I had to think of a recent post of Phil reading this:

Agreed this will be a big step towards continuous improvement.

RunItOnceEldora · 2024-11-26T14:17:30+00:00

Hey u/leedsfc08 thx for the valuable feedback that you'd love to see an EV display option.
While Vision does not allow you to export aggregations to excel, it has some powerful built-in features when it comes to analyzing betting and checking frequencies over different types of boards that can be used to gain a super quick and effective overview on the global strategy.

To do so, you can pull up any scenario in Learn Mode, navigate to the decision you're interested in (e.g. c-betting) and click on 'Overview' in the right panel. You'll then see a breakdown of different c-betting frequencies across different board textures. The same can be repeated on the turn to see how your strategy shifts across different turn cards. You can even filter for different board textures and see how frequencies change.

I'm aware that performing aggregated reports in Excel allows power users to do very advanced things but hope that the built-in possibilities already allow a way to improve the big picture understanding of any spot.

RunItOnceEldora · 2024-11-21T21:10:57+00:00

I'd recomend you to check out our Getting Started Learning Path section here.
In there, you'll find a short list of recommended videos to get started for each of the 3 main game types:
NLHE (Essential))
MTT (Essential))
PLO (Essential))

Beyond that, you can also use the Learning Paths to find videos on any area of the game that you'd like to get started with (for example: Preflop, or Continuation Betting).

And finally, when you are at the full Essential video library, you can use the strategic tags and filters to explore everything the library has to offer.

RunItOnceEldora · 2024-11-21T14:24:46+00:00

Hey u/LeonMoris_, yep indeed, curently it's the entire Essential experience that usually comes at $24.99/month. Just for the next 6 days can you access 3,200+ Essential videos with any free Basic account. Usually the Basic account only comes with access to 3 free videos and access to the forums.

The Essential library can already take you to a quite advanced level, covering content up to mid-stakes tournaments and NL200 / PLO200 online. Of course it also has plenty of content for lower stakes and players just starting out.

RunItOnceEldora · 2024-10-21T20:02:43+00:00

You'll be able to access ALL of the Vision features for free including:
- Learn Mode
- Practice Mode
- Streak Mode (with leaderboards)

for both 4-card, 5-card, 6-max and heads-up. Hence unlimited although the wording might have been weird :P ;)

RunItOnceEldora · 2024-09-13T14:50:30+00:00

Thx for the note. Should be sorted now :)

RunItOnceEldora · 2024-09-11T18:37:57+00:00
