Saulo Costa Crushing Made Simple Mentorship — the complete 5-week live cohort, recorded. 27 sessions, ~66.6 GB, including two interviews with elite guests.
The Saulo Costa Crushing Made Simple Mentorship is the flagship of the entire Metagame catalogue and the largest product in it by a wide margin. It is not an edited course — it is the full recording of a five-week mentorship cohort: main classes, Play & Explain demonstrations, weekly live Q&A calls, and guest interviews, in the order they were delivered. Every other product he sells is a component of this arc. This is the arc itself.

The Five-Week Arc
The structure is deliberate and cumulative. Each week’s main class only makes sense because of the one before it, and by week five you are doing something most players never attempt at all.
| Week | The question it answers | Sessions |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — Balance | How do I hide information efficiently and play low-exploitability poker without drowning in theory? | 5 |
| 2 — The gaps | Where exactly do humans diverge from the solver, and how do I measure it myself? | 5 |
| 3 — Maximum exploitation | How do I turn those gaps into calculated counter-strategies? | 5 |
| 4 — Staying undetected | How do I keep the edge once opponents start noticing? | 6 |
| 5 — Anticipation | How do I adjust before any evidence arrives? | 5 |
Week 5 is the part nobody else teaches
Anticipation is defined precisely: recalibrating your strategy before any evidence is given. Not reacting to a read — predicting how opponents will perceive you and adjusting first. Saulo is upfront that this is the one qualitative, subjective section in an otherwise ruthlessly quantitative mentorship, and that you will not be right every time. The bar is being right more often than not, which is enough to make it profitable. It builds on your table image, your perceived range, and the texture — and it is where the mentorship stops being a strategy course and becomes a metagame course.

The Methodology, Stated Explicitly
Saulo says openly that he did not want an intuitive process — he wanted something systematic and reproducible enough to hand to his staking students. The four steps run through the entire mentorship: gather data → compare GTO against humans → calculate the counter-strategy via node locking → execute at the tables.
The four frequency mistakes the population keeps making
Week 3 names them directly, and they are the backbone of every exploit built afterwards: overfolding — described as effectively omnipresent across the game tree; under-raising — present in almost every node, from both regulars and recreationals; lack of small bets; and lack of overbets. On top of those sits the range-composition problem: because players cannot control the frequencies at the bottom of their range, they end up overbluffing rivers. Four frequency errors and one structural one — that is the entire exploitation surface, and the rest of the mentorship is spent harvesting it.
Guest Sessions
Daniel “Jungleman” Cates — two-part interview and Q&A
A full two-session interview with one of the most accomplished players in the game: a professional for roughly fifteen years, winner of millions online and live, and holder of two WSOP bracelets in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship — widely regarded as the toughest tournament in poker. At one point he was considered the best heads-up no-limit player in the world. The format is interview first, then open Q&A where cohort members put their own questions to him directly. Roughly 3 GB of material across the two parts.
Luiz Scipião — interview and Q&A
The week 5 guest session, ~2.75 GB, following the same interview-then-open-questions format.

The X-Ray sheets here are the bigger version
If you already own the Lowstakes Blueprint, you have the standard X-Ray pack. This mentorship ships an expanded one: alongside the generic 2BP, 3BP and 4BP workbooks it adds seven matchup-specific sheets — 3BP IP for BB vs SB and BTN vs HJ, 3BP OOP for BB vs BTN and SB vs BTN, and SRP IP for BTN vs BB, CO vs BB and HJ vs BB. Same tool, far more resolution.
Five weeks that reorganise how you think about every hand.

📋 What you get — and what you don’t.
This product is the complete recorded archive of the five-week cohort: all 27 sessions including the live Q&A calls and both guest interviews, plus every data asset and worksheet distributed to participants. It does not include live access, the Discord server, the AMA channel or personal support from the Metagame team — those existed only for the original cohort while it ran. You are buying the full content of a premium mentorship, not a seat in a running one. We would rather you know that before checkout than after.

About the coach
Saulo Costa (sauloCosta10) started in 2016 at 5NL and climbed every limit of PokerStars Zoom across millions of hands. He is a regular in 1k–2kNL games, founder of Metagame, and a former Run It Once Elite NLHE coach. He also runs a staking stable — which is why the methodology in this mentorship is built to be reproducible rather than intuitive: he needed something he could hand to other people and have it work.
🔐 FOREVER LICENSE — how delivery works: pay once and the full archive is permanently yours. Access is prepared and sent manually by our team after payment is confirmed. No subscription, no expiry, no renewal. Given the ~66.6 GB size, allow time for the transfer to complete on your end.
