Bridge is the most fascinating card game because it combines logic, deduction, strategy. To learn, we start with mini-bridge, then we progress in stages until your level allows you to compete against experienced players.
The system we are learning is "the 5th major".
My patience and my sense of pedagogy make me a sought-after teacher. Get started!

I've been playing online poker for over 12 years with decent success having started from learning the very basics of pot odds, fold equity, implied odds to the very advanced concepts of position and initiative as well as having a balanced strategy and putting maximum pressure on your opponents in order to maximize profits over the long run.
I teach ring games as including but not limited to zoom as well as multi table tournaments and sit and go's.

We'll go over common situations, discuss concepts and develop game plans which we will later review in further lessons when you've had the chance to practice.

Hello,

I am a big player of playing and collecting card games and have participated in several Magic the Gathering tournaments such as the Grand Prix Bruxelles 2006 and 2016.

I have played many card games in paper or online versions (Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon; Hearthstone; Magic the Gathering; Magic Arena; Keyforge; Warhammer 40000 Conquest; Malkyrs, the Arenas of Eternity; Wakfu; World of Warcraft TCG; Might and Magic: Duel of Champions; Gwent: the Witcher Card Game; Elements; SpellWeaver and many others).

I even started to create my own card games. I have a perfect command of the general rules of playing and collecting card games. I am able to quickly identify a meta, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of each deck.

I can advise you in the management of your collection (purchase / resale / exchange / preservation) and especially in the creation of decks that are at the same time original, pleasant to play and formidable.

Finally, I have a master's degree in French and Romance Languages and Letters, and an AESS accreditation which gives me the ability to learn patiently and clearly to anyone wishing to enter the world of card games, or to improve their skills up to a high rank.

Boost your Magic: the Gathering arena ranking with advice from a consistently Mythic player.

* Deck building advice
* Live commentary over Zoom
* Detailed instructions and explanations of my own thought processes

About me:

* British
* Mid thirties
* Played Magic since '98
* Played Magic Arena since 2018, Mythic every season
* Friendly, constructive and non-patronising

Hello my name is Ruben pleasant,

I teach magic (specifically card magic, other options are also possible), for beginners to advanced students, ages 13 and up.

- It is most advantageous if you take several lessons so that we can treat each subject separately (learning to shuffle cards, deal cards, deal cards falsely, double lift technique).
- Teaching material is always delivered digitally so that you can practice at all times.
- If you wish, a short review or test can be done before each lesson to filter out potential bad habits.
- If you wish, we can also work on a competition act if you would like to participate in the Belgian competition circuit.

Jamming is the term to share magic tricks and become a better magician. That's why I like it if I could share my expertise through this platform.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask,

Greetings and hopefully see you soon
Reuben

Poker enthusiasts know that the game's popularity has exploded in recent years. Since the "poker boom" in the 2000s, Texas No-Limit Hold'em has never before conquered casino tables, evenings with friends, and family weekends in such a way. In this course, which can range from a complete introduction for beginners to a deep dive into essential concepts to master (continuation betting, ranges, playing out of position, etc.), we will be able to build objectives, implement systematic reasoning to apply during each hand, and explore the psychology and cognitive biases of players. A specific course on "live tells," body language, and the information involuntarily given by players at the table will also be part of the training.
