If you’ve spent any time studying poker at a serious level, you already know that the green line — non-showdown winnings — is the single most unforgiving mirror of your true skill. It doesn’t lie. It doesn’t get lucky. It is a cold, mathematical verdict on how well you execute bluffs, apply pressure, and navigate every street without needing to show your cards. Saulo Costa’s Dose of Green Line 2026 is built entirely around that number — and it is, without question, one of the most complete cash game courses available anywhere on the internet right now.
At Elite Poker Guide, we carry the full Saulo Costa library, and this review covers every single module inside Dose of Green Line 2026 — 106 video lessons, 7.73 GB of content — so you know exactly what you’re getting before you commit.
🎯 At a Glance: 106 video lessons · 7.73 GB · SRP + 3BP + 4BP · IP & OOP · Flop, Turn & River modules · Hand Reviews from high-stakes games · Theory + heuristics framework · Lifetime access on ElitePokerGuide.io
Who Is Saulo Costa?
Saulo Costa is a Brazilian high-stakes cash game player and coach operating under the Metagame / Saulo Costa brand. He is one of the very few coaches who has managed to bridge the gap between deep GTO theory and actionable heuristics that real players can execute at the table. His teaching philosophy is rooted in a simple idea: you don’t memorize solutions, you build mental frameworks that let you find the right line under pressure.
His catalog at Elite Poker Guide spans multiple flagship programs — from beginner-accessible blueprints to elite-level hand review series. Dose of Green Line 2026 is his most content-dense release to date, and it sits at the top of the pyramid.
What Exactly Is “The Green Line” in Poker?
In any standard poker tracking software (PokerTracker, Hold’em Manager), your cumulative winnings graph is split into two lines:
- The red line — showdown winnings. You win because you show better cards.
- The green line — non-showdown winnings. You win pots before showdown through aggression, bluffing, and pressure.
A crushed green line signals elite aggression, superior range reading, and the ability to apply maximum pressure at precisely the right moments. This is the skill that separates winning regulars from break-even players, and mid-stakes grinders from true high-stakes threats. Saulo Costa built an entire curriculum around making this number go up.
Full Course Index: 106 Lessons Broken Down
Below is a structured breakdown of the full 106-lesson index. This is not a teaser — this is the complete map of what you get inside Dose of Green Line 2026.
🔷 Foundational Module — Theory Heuristics Framework
DGL#00 – Introduction to Theory Heuristics (75 MB) opens the course and sets the entire intellectual scaffolding. Saulo explains why memorizing solver outputs is a dead end, and why developing heuristics — compressed decision rules derived from theory — is the only scalable approach to GTO poker. This lesson alone reframes how most players think about studying.
🔷 Single Raised Pots (SRP) — In Position (IP) as PFR
The IP-as-PFR section is the backbone of the course. Saulo methodically constructs a complete decision tree for the most common spot in cash games: you raised preflop, you’re in position, opponent checks. The modules cover:
- DGL#01 – BTN vs BB: Delay C-bet with Top Pair Weak Kicker (TPWK)
- DGL#02 – BTN vs BB: Flop C-bet with No Draw (NOND)
- DGL#09 – Double Barreling Air on the Turn
- DGL#10 – Triple Barreling Air
- DGL#15 – Double Barreling Gutshots on Ax Double-Barrel Boards
- DGL#16 – Double Barreling Ax Low Kicker + Flush Draw Blocker
- DGL#44 – How Often to Double Barrel TPGK
- DGL#59 – The Fallacy of Over-Simplification
- DGL#60 – C-bet Size Heuristics (SRP IP)
- DGL#61 – Calling Thresholds in Probe Lines
- DGL#62 – Delayed C-bet with Air
- DGL#67 – Improving Blocker Recognition
- DGL#85 – Double Barreling Ace-High No Draw
- DGL#91 – C-betting on Ace-Low-Low Textures
- DGL#95 – Double Barreling SB vs BB — Splitting Sizes
- DGL#11 – Double-Double Barreling: Non Ace-High Draws
- DGL#43 – How Often to Give Up Missed Flush Draws
🔷 Single Raised Pots (SRP) — Out of Position (OOP) as PFR
This section is where most mid-stakes players are losing the most money without knowing it. Playing OOP as the preflop raiser is one of poker’s most complex spots — and Saulo gives it the attention it deserves:
- DGL#05 – PFR SRP OOP: B-XC-XC Thresholds
- DGL#06 – PFR SRP OOP: B-XC Thresholds (134 MB — the biggest SRP lesson)

- DGL#19 – How to Play Gutshots on the Turn OOP
- DGL#64 – Introducing Mini Bet Flop — BvB
- DGL#69 – XR Size Heuristics (266 MB — the largest lesson in the course)
💡 Coach’s Note: DGL#69 at 266 MB is the single most content-rich video in the entire series. XR size heuristics OOP is a spot that even strong mid-stakes regulars get wrong consistently. Budget time for this one.
🔷 Single Raised Pots (SRP) — Out of Position as Caller (PFC)
- DGL#45 – How Often to Probe Gutshots OOP
- DGL#46 – How Often to Barrel Draws in XR-B Line

- DGL#100 – Developing 10% Pot Bets on the River (167 MB)
🔷 3-Bet Pots (3BP) — In Position as PFR
Three-bet pots demand a completely different decision tree. Saulo dedicates a major block of the course to IP 3BP play, which is where elite aggression most commonly manifests:
- DGL#53 – Principles of C-betting on Connected Boards

- DGL#03 – SB vs BU: B30-B with Two Pair+

- DGL#48 – Targeting and Indifference Heuristics
- DGL#77 – The Most Difficult Action in Poker: Turn Raises (51 MB)
🔷 Dedicated River Play Modules
The river section is where Dose of Green Line truly earns its reputation. This is the most complete river module library in any single poker course:
- DGL#13 – Using Trips to Bluff-Raise the River
- DGL#39 – The Only Way to Be Balanced with River Calls (220 MB — second largest)
- DGL#40 – How to Give Up Correctly on the River

- DGL#94 – Bluffing Bad Blockers on Flush Completing Runouts
- DGL#100 – Developing 10% Pot Bets on the River
🃏 Key Takeaway: The river module alone — particularly DGL#39 (220 MB), DGL#90, and DGL#52 — covers more ground on river play than most standalone river-focused courses on the market. If river decisions are leaking chips, this course fixes that.
🔷 Flop Play Modules
- DGL#72 – Improving Flop XR Composition
- DGL#78 – Should You Play Exploitatively or Theory-Oriented?
🔷 Hand Review Series

Why This Course Stands Apart
Most poker courses give you either theory or examples. Dose of Green Line 2026 gives you both — tightly integrated, lesson by lesson. Each module follows the same structure: introduce the spot, build the heuristic from solver data, verify with hand examples, then stress-test the rule against edge cases. After 106 sessions of that format, you don’t just know the answers — you understand the architecture behind them.
The coverage is also extraordinarily systematic. Saulo doesn’t skip inconvenient spots. SRP, 3BP, 4BP — each treated in full, from both sides of the table, across all three streets. The result is a course that actually closes your game’s gaps rather than just addressing the easy ones.
The Complete Saulo Costa Library at Elite Poker Guide
Dose of Green Line 2026 is the pinnacle of Saulo’s output, but it doesn’t exist in isolation. The full catalog is available at Elite Poker Guide — and every course below deepens or complements the green-line framework:
- Saulo Costa Timing Tells Blueprint — Master the meta-game layer that sits above GTO. Learn to read and weaponize timing patterns, hesitations, and speed tells at every stake level.
- Saulo Costa Weekly Group Coaching — Live, ongoing coaching sessions with direct Q&A. Ideal for players who want real-time feedback on their evolving leaks.
- Saulo Costa PIO Pack — The solver toolkit that pairs directly with Dose of Green Line. Learn how Saulo builds his study trees, which spots he prioritizes, and how to extract maximum insight from PioSolver sessions.
- Saulo Costa Crushing Made Simple Mentorship — Elite-tier access. Intensive mentorship format for serious players targeting significant stake jumps.
- Saulo Costa Low Stakes Blueprint — The starting point for players entering the Saulo Costa system at NL25–NL100. Builds the exploitative foundation before introducing advanced theory.
- Saulo Costa GTO Blueprint — The theory primer. If Dose of Green Line is the advanced degree, GTO Blueprint is the undergraduate curriculum. Essential context.
- Saulo Costa The Redline Blueprint — The counterpart course. Where Dose of Green Line attacks non-showdown winnings, The Redline Blueprint optimizes showdown results and value extraction.
- Saulo Costa Dose of Red Line — The sister series to Dose of Green Line. Study both together for a complete, balanced graph that dominates in every dimension.
- Saulo Costa Dose of Blue Line — Focuses on the blue line — total winnings inclusive of rake. The macro-level lens that ties the entire system together.
Who Is Dose of Green Line 2026 For?
This is not an introductory course. To extract maximum value from the 106 lessons, you should already be familiar with basic GTO concepts, know what c-betting ranges look like, and have enough hand history to recognize the spots being discussed.
The ideal student is a NL100–NL500 regular who is technically competent but whose green line is flat or negative. You’re not losing because you don’t value bet — you’re losing because your non-showdown aggression leaks EV in ways that are invisible without this level of framework. Dose of Green Line makes those leaks visible, measurable, and fixable.
That said, high-stakes players will also find the hand review series genuinely valuable — the spots chosen are not trivially simple, and DGL#83 (“High Stakes — Nut Flush Blocker No Good”) and DGL#84 (“When High Stakes Reaches the Solver”) are high-quality analyses of the kind of edge cases that arise at NL2000+.
