Here is how I would approach teaching poker to someone in 7 days:
Day 1:Teach the basics. Cover hand rankings, odds, probability of improving, pot odds, position, etc. Practice simple examples. Have them make several basic decisions to build intuition.
Day 2:Introduce betting strategies. Discuss how to bet for value, semi-bluff, bluff, raise/call ranges, etc. Practice making betting decisions for different board textures and pot odds.
Day 3
iscuss poker tells and reads. Review physical/verbal tells and how to interpret them. Encourage observant play. Play practice hands trying to deduce opponent hands/maps based on action/reads.
Day 4:Teach proper bankroll management. Cover typical limits, buy-ins, and how often money should be added/removed from play based on win/loss. Strategies for increasing or surviving tough stretches.
Day 5rovide analyses of real or hypothetical situations. Discuss what happened, alternatives, and probabilities. Make them determine optimal plays, debate options, and justify decisions. Continual analysis builds better thinking.
Day 6o practice interviews or wikipedia-style explanations of key poker concepts. Explaining ideas out loud strengthens mental models and recall. You can also set up obstacle course style scenarios to problem-solve through.
Day 7ut it all together. Play plenty of practice hands at lower stakes. Start with simpler games like limit hold'em but work toward no-limit. Verbalize decisions and concepts in real-time. Review and discuss performance. Solidify strategies and thinking.
This covers a whirlwind overview of poker techniques and theory with ample practice and application to develop a solid base of knowledge and skill in just 1 week of study. Let me know if any clarification or additional suggestions would be helpful! I'm happy to provide more tips for learning and mastering the game of poker.
