Douglas Polk Launches Upswing Poker: A Training Site for Beginners


Douglas Polk, also known as WCGRider, is launching a poker training site called Upswing Poker. The site is designed to help beginners understand fundamental poker concepts and make better decisions in standard situations. Douglas Polk and Ryan Fee will financially support the site.

Douglas Polk mentioned that the new rake increase on PokerStars will negatively affect players at lower limits. He believes that more profitable players will move to higher limits where the rake will not consume most of their profits.

Douglas Polk and Ryan Fee will financially support the site. The site will focus on teaching fundamental concepts and decision-making in standard situations, helping recreational poker players improve their skills.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
