DFS’s Best Teacher

No one does it better in the industry. I’ve listened to just about every show Jordan has done over the last year (this pod or elsewhere), and he’s already turned me into a profitable player to the tune of around $20,000.

If you sincerely want to become a professional, listen to this pod, as well as his 15-hour DFS masterclass. If you simulate your career a million times, you won’t regret heeding Jordan’s advice.

perfectionBURNSRED ,

Good and Bad.

Great information and insight but Jordan is constantly cutting off the other speaker. It’s a bit much only after one episode, I’ll go elsewhere.

iamnotstugotz ,

Most episodes are good.

This last one was just mumbling the same stuff over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
