Forget spoiling your other half this Valentine's month to ostentatious restaurants and overpriced candy; why not treat yourself instead and take your game into the poker pitstop courtesy of the first Black Belt Poker Academy of the year?
On Saturday, February 25, Black Belt Poker will be returning to the Grosvenor Victoria Casino in London for another day of intensive poker tutelage with two of our finest mentors: Bluff Europe columnist Alex Rousso and Blue Belt Kevin Williams.
The subject matter will be Learning to Adjust: Levelling & Exploitation with Alex and Kevin guiding you through a plethora of related topics such as Game Theory, Table Dynamics and Poker Trackers. Meanwhile, players will be invited to participate in workshops within smaller groups, as well as asking any questions or queries they may have.
The full schedule is as follows:
Introduction
No Right Answers: Applying Game Theory (Alex)
Who's Got a Target on Their Back? (Workshop)
Short Break
Using Trackers to Exploit Opponents (Kevin)
Adjusting to Table Dynamics - Three Key Concepts (Workshop)
Exploitation and Four-Street Poker (Alex/Kevin)
Short break
Making & Executing a Plan (Workshop)
K.I.S.S.: Avoiding Overthink (Alex)
Levelling: Who's Zooming Who? (Workshop)
Seminar Ends
As an exclusive offer to Academy attendees, anyone who wishes to play the Vic's £50+6 tournament later that evening will automatically be entered into a last-longer with the last (wo)man standing winning free entry into the next Academy.

"Our last Academy of the year was a sell out," reveals Bluff Europe columnist Alex Rousso, "and we also received some of the best feedback ever. We've worked hard on the format of our Academies over the last two years and they really are a fantastic learning experience. Come see for yourself."
For one time only, February 25 will feature a double-Academy as 2008 Irish Open Champion Neil Channing hosts a day of educational gems at the Northern Poker Stars Poker Club in Carlisle. The topic will be Tournament Play with Neil divulging all the skills that helped him to a near three million in live tournament winnings. Contact ken@northernpokerstars.co.uk to reserve your seat.
So, why not make the adjustment and join us in 2012 for our increasingly popular Academies?
