Saulo Costa
Metagame is not a course publisher. It is a poker team that backs players with its own money — and this is its internal training archive.
Founded by Saulo Costa with Max Lacerda and Matheus “Zinhão” as a combined coaching and staking operation. For years this material was never for sale — it was what the team taught the players it was financing. When a course is wrong, a publisher loses reputation. When a stable’s teaching is wrong, the stable loses cash.

Why A Stable’s Material Is Different
Under that incentive nobody records filler. Sessions open with a coach pulling up one player’s database, finding the leak that is costing money this month, and fixing it in front of the group. There is no curriculum to get through — there is a problem to solve.
How the team is built
Metagame runs a tier system, not a mailing list. Players enter through a selection process, get bankroll, and are placed by level — a micro-stakes feeder division, then Tier 3 around NL50–NL100, Tier 2 at NL100–NL200, Tier 1 at NL500, and Tier ELITE at NL1000. Most of the players in the top team came up through the bottom one.
The part nobody else sells
Because it is a real operation, the archive includes things a course would never bother recording: how to request bankroll and a reload, how to fill in the results spreadsheet, how to upload your hands every month. It looks like admin. It is actually the accountability system — the mechanism that separates players who improve from players who watch videos. In retail nobody checks on you. In a team, somebody looks at your database every month and asks what happened.
A career, not just a strategy
One founder’s path is in the archive itself: he arrived as Saulo’s first private student, started online at NL25, became the team’s first coach inside a year, and is now a partner and head coach playing mid and high stakes. The material that produced that is the material on this page.
Purpose-built research
A Hand2Note research database of over 250 million hands across every major site. A tighter alias of 1000NL+ GG Poker regulars covering roughly 46 million hands from 2024 alone. A custom training simulator that produced more than a million tracked hands with the timing of every click. And software that node-locks multiple rivers at once — which is how early-street strategy gets adjusted for imbalances that only appear on the river.
What The Catalogue Contains
Sixteen products, over 1,150 videos, roughly 425 GB, produced between 2019 and 2026 in four distinct layers:
The taught courses
Structured programmes on low stakes fundamentals, balanced execution, timing reads, exploitative method, and the flagship five-week mentorship — the polished layer, built after the methodology had already been proven internally.
The weekly research series
Three parallel lines of short sessions, each delivering a single measured adjustment: fish exploits, theory heuristics, and reg exploits. Together well over three hundred sessions — the fastest way to convert a spare fifteen minutes into a change in your game.
The internal coaching archive
Years of group classes, database reviews, live and sweat sessions and individual lessons, filed by coach, tier and date. Unedited and unpolished — this is what the team actually looked like from the inside.
The tools
Written playbooks and gameplans, solved PioSolver trees with their generation scripts, bluff-catching workbooks, preflop charts and stat packs. Material designed to be used at the table rather than watched on a sofa.
Two Languages, Two Complete Tracks
Metagame is a Brazilian operation, and roughly half the archive is in Portuguese — including the full progression of the domestic team from the micro-stakes feeder division up to Tier ELITE. The other half, including every flagship course, is in English. Each product page states its language explicitly, so nothing arrives as a surprise. Both tracks ship under the same FOREVER LICENSE, and active coupons apply across the whole catalogue.
Falantes de português: o programa completo do time brasileiro está em Metagame Poker Coaching Sessions Português, e o resto da seção em cursos de poker em português.
One honest note before you buy
You are buying recordings and materials, not membership. Live access, the team Discord, bankroll and personal support existed only for the players under contract at the time. Every page in this catalogue says so plainly, because a customer who knows what they are getting stays a customer.
