How can a clinic in “Game Theory” improve my chances of winning? The clinic is centered around the concept that the most successful playing tactics are based on uniform strategic maneuvers.  Chances of winning a game of poker greatly improve with well thought out strategies.  The clinic offers players an arsenal of survival tools that will yield more accurate hand-analysis, and situation-specific ways to outwit your opponents.
