Play It Smart Poker is the flagship 15-class system built by Avery Nitkin — an exploit-first cash game coach documented at +8bb/100 over a six-figure hand sample at 200NL. This is not a solver library. It is a live, mastermind-style teaching format where every hand comes from Avery’s own 200NL games on GGPoker and PokerStars, broken down class by class so you can copy the exact decision-making that built his win rate.

What’s Inside Play It Smart Poker — Full 15-Class Index
Every class is Avery’s own live game, reviewed hand by hand. Sorted by theme so you can jump straight to what your game needs most.
Foundations, Table Selection & Volume Discipline
🔸 Class 1 — The Play It Smart training format: live spot-testing against a real 30-second decision clock
🔺 Class 2 — GGPoker vs PokerStars in 2026: rakeback, game softness, and where the real edge lives
🔸 Class 3 — Why fewer tables and slower, deliberate play out-earns mindless multi-tabling volume
Exploit & Bluff Theory
🔺 Class 4 — Reading the situation, not the hand: turning population tendencies into automatic bluff triggers
🔸 Class 9 — Raising vs. calling with equity and blockers — and exactly where solver output helps (and where it misleads you)
🔺 Class 10 — Punishing regs and fish who bet-then-give-up on the turn and river
🔸 Class 11 — Attacking opponents’ bet-sizing splits — Avery’s core 2026 edge-finder (see also our Poker Sizing Tells Study Guide)
Metagame, Mindset & Long-Term Win Rate
🔺 Class 5 — Live Q&A: why creativity beats memorized lines
🔸 Class 6 — The “organic session” method — reviewing whatever spots actually happened that week
🔺 Class 7 — Metagame theory and a full variance-calculator walkthrough
🔸 Class 12 — The psychology of moving up in stakes without blowing up your bankroll (pairs well with our Bankroll Management Guide)
🔺 Class 14 — Win-rate math: why a 50,000-hand sample can still lose 10% of the time
🔸 Class 15 — Sunlight, circadian rhythm, and why your win rate shifts with the seasons
Real Talk From the Trenches
🔺 Class 8 — The true cost of grinding high-stakes graveyard-shift sessions
🔸 Class 13 — Live mixed-hand review straight from Avery’s current 200NL grind on PokerStars
Why Play It Smart Poker Works
Real Results, Real Stakes
Avery’s +8bb/100 win rate at 200NL is a documented figure from real online cash games — one of the toughest fields in modern poker, not a coaching persona built on cherry-picked hands.
Exploit-First, Not Solver-First
Every class is built around identifying and punishing human tendencies — the leaks a solver can’t see because it assumes a perfect opponent. Read the full philosophy behind this approach in GTO vs Exploitative Poker, and see the same coach applying it at the same stakes in our 200NL Rush Cash review.
Built for 200NL and the Mid-Stakes Grind
If 200NL cash is your battlefield, this is the direct playbook for it — see how it fits into a broader stakes progression in our NL2 to NL200 Cash Game Courses roundup.
About the Coach: Avery Nitkin built his reputation the hard way — by crushing tough online cash game pools, not by theorizing about them. “GTO can make a player solid. Exploits are what makes a player elite.” — Read Avery Nitkin’s full coach profile →
