Build Your August Poker Study Plan From the July 2026 Course Update

A productive poker study plan starts with a leak, not a library.
Elite Poker Guide added more than 170 poker courses in July 2026. The release includes solver education, GTO, cash games, MTTs, hand ranges, mental game, Portuguese and Spanish training, poker software and a free tournament audiobook.
The range of new material makes it possible to build a focused August plan. It also makes random browsing more tempting. The following framework turns the catalog update into a four-week study block.
Week 1: Diagnose the Problem
Review your recent sessions and choose one recurring decision family.
Examples:
• Opening and defending ranges
• Single-raised pots as the preflop raiser
• Playing turns after a flop continuation bet
• 15–25BB MTT decisions
• Range reading
• Tilt after losing a large pot
• Poor session preparation
• Inefficient HUD or solver workflow
Write the problem as a question. “Improve at MTTs” is too broad. “Build a repeatable plan for 15–25BB button-versus-blind spots” is useful.
Week 2: Choose One Primary Resource
The July update offers several paths.
The 30 Solve For Why titles fit players working on solver fundamentals, GTO baselines, postflop structure, range reading and tournament theory. Solvers 101 includes a free sample lesson.
The 96 PokerCoaching additions fit a broader range of goals, including cash-game and MTT masterclasses, advanced tournament work, hand-range analysis and tilt control. The catalog includes material featuring Jonathan Little, Phil Hellmuth, Matt Affleck, Olivier Busquet, Ed Miller and Jared Tendler.
The 44 Portuguese and Spanish additions give players the option to study difficult concepts in a preferred language. The software update covers Hand2Note on CoinPoker, PioSolver 3 and RocketSolver.
Choose one primary course. Everything else is optional support.
Week 3: Convert Lessons Into Decisions
After every lesson, create a short application note:
• What was the central decision?
• What was the baseline strategy?
• Which assumption mattered most?
• What mistake do I currently make?
• Which hands from my database should I review?
Then find examples from your own play. A course becomes valuable when it changes how you review and execute real decisions.
Week 4: Test and Compress
Play with one deliberate focus. Do not attempt to remember an entire course during a session.
At the end of the week, compress your notes into one page. Keep the principles and remove the commentary you no longer need. The result should be a study artifact you can review quickly before playing.
Use Audio for the Right Material
The first free EPG audiobook, Roy Rounder’s Tournament Tactics, can support conceptual review during time away from a screen. It covers Sit & Go stages, MTT phases, blind structures, opponent styles, re-buys and satellites.
Audio is useful for principles and mental-game reinforcement. Exact ranges and solver trees still require visual study.
The Complete July Update
The July page contains direct links to the highlighted courses, language collections, poker software, audiobook, three new mental-game guides and the latest EPG podcast episodes.
