Risk Quiz & Course

The free assessment, the $99 course and your certificate

▸What is the free risk quiz?
A twenty-question risk-management assessment covering position sizing, R-multiples, risk vs reward, profit factor and emotional discipline. It is free, needs no account or payment, and you can retake it whenever you like.
▸How is the quiz scored, and what counts as passing?
You see your percentage immediately, with an explanation for every question you missed. Grading happens on our servers against a private answer key. A score of 90% — 18 of 20 correct — is the certification benchmark.
▸How much does the course cost, and what do I get?
$99 as a one-time special offer (regular price $499) — no subscription, no renewals, and no tax added at checkout. One purchase unlocks all five modules: Position sizing, R-multiples, Risk vs reward, Profit factor and Emotional discipline, each with in-depth reading, worked examples, common mistakes, checklists, drills and a knowledge check. Details are on the pricing page.
▸How do I unlock the lessons?
Buy the course and your five modules open automatically as soon as payment is confirmed — usually within seconds. Checkout runs in a secure embedded payment form on the course page, so you never leave the site.
▸How do I earn the certificate?
Pass all five module knowledge checks. Your named certificate of completion then appears on the course page and on your progress page as a printable PDF, and it is emailed to you with a permanent link. Score 90%+ on the free quiz and you can download an assessment certificate too.
▸Can I see what a lesson contains before paying?
Yes — on the course page, click any lesson to see what that module covers before you decide. The free quiz is also open to everyone with no account needed.
▸Is the certificate a professional qualification?
No. It is educational recognition of completing a risk-management training program — not a professional credential, licence or trading qualification, and nothing here is financial advice.

The Tables

Six-max No-Limit Hold'em FAQ

▸What stakes are available?
Three six-max cash tables: Micro (1/2 blinds), Low (5/10 blinds), and High (25/50 blinds) — blinds never go up. Each has its own range of chip stacks, so you can pick the level that matches your bankroll and comfort.
▸How do I get chips?
New players get 100,000 free chips on signup — always free. Chips are play-only and have no cash value.
▸What happens if I go broke?
If you run out of chips, you can claim a free 200-chip reload once per hour at the Micro table. That's enough to keep practicing position sizing and decision-making for free.
▸Can I leave whenever I want?
Yes. The tables run 24/7 with no scheduled start or end — stand up any time and whatever is in your stack returns straight to your chip balance.
▸Who can see my cards?
Your hole cards are visible only to you while the hand is live. Folded cards are mucked immediately and never shown. Every hand that reaches the river is revealed at showdown.
▸Why does this feel like training, not just poker?
Every decision at the table mirrors a trading decision: sizing your stack is position sizing, folding is cutting a loss, and staying level-headed after a bad beat is emotional control. The notes on the tables page connect each habit back to trading discipline.

Trading Risk Management

How poker trains trading risk management

▸What is risk management in trading?
Deciding in advance how much of your account you'll put at risk on any one idea, where you'll exit if you're wrong, and sticking to it. It protects your account so one bad trade can't knock you out.
▸How do you manage risk in trading?
Risk a small, fixed slice of your account per trade (many traders use 1–2%), set your exit before you enter, size the position so that exit equals your planned loss, cap your daily loss, and stop trading when you hit it. Consistency matters more than any single trade.
▸How does poker teach position sizing?
Buying in for 100 big blinds and choosing a stake that fits your chip balance is bankroll management. Moving down in stakes when your balance shrinks is the same discipline as cutting size after drawdowns.
▸How does folding relate to cutting losses?
Folding a hand you've already invested in is a stop-loss: you accept a small, known loss instead of chasing a bigger one. Traders who can fold well tend to cut losing trades quickly.
▸Can poker help with emotional control in day trading?
Yes — bad beats are like stop-runs. Practicing level-headed decisions after a painful hand builds the same habit you need to avoid revenge trading after a losing day.
▸Is this financial advice?
No. The tables are free practice for decision-making habits. See the risk disclosure.

Monthly Leaderboard

How standings are determined

▸How is the leaderboard scored?
By net chips won at the tables this month — chips you take off the tables minus chips you brought to them. Play more and win more, and your total climbs.
▸When does the board reset?
On the 1st of every calendar month. Standings clear completely so every month is a fresh race.
▸What happens if two players tie?
Ties are broken by whoever reached their net-chip total first during the month.
