Explore Underground Online Poker Clubs with Paul Regan
Underground poker clubs are unregulated poker sites run by club managers that have become increasingly popular in the online poker scene.
The games are significantly softer than what you'll find on mainstream sites, but they come with additional risks.
This 2-hour play & explain series shows you how these games work and the strategies Paul uses to beat them.
Taught by Paul "Regitime" Regan
Paul takes you through four sessions on an underground poker club, demonstrating the games and explaining his approach to beating these soft, low-stakes games that play very differently from mainstream online poker.
What Makes These Games Different
Underground club games play like online poker did 10 years ago. They're filled with loose passive fish, very little aggression, and players who call too much and rarely bluff. The strategy that works is straightforward ABC poker: big value bets, minimal bluffing, and folding when opponents show aggression.
Important Considerations About Underground Clubs
This series is educational, showing you what these games look like and how they play. However, it's important to understand that these sites are unregulated and carry risks.
