Peak summer poker season is upon us, and that means it\u2019s PLAY TIME! Some of you will be on the tournament grind and hunting bracelets, while others will be on the cash game grind hoping to \u201charness their inner sharks\u201d and pad your bankrolls. We wish you all lots of smart decision-making and run good! With all that said, we also believe that at the end of the day poker is meant to be FUN!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past couple years, we\u2019ve borne witness to some of the most objectively delightful poker sessions we\u2019ve ever seen, at Cardplayer Lifestyle\u2019s Mixed Game Festival. While the competition at the felt is serious and players are of course trying to win each other\u2019s money, this oft-recurring series feels like the world\u2019s biggest home game and is primarily all about gathering fun-loving poker players who just want to have a good time. Plus, it\u2019s also about learning poker\u2019s dozens of non-Hold\u2019em fixed-limit variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among our roster of coaches who\u2019ve made appearances in the past at the Mixed Game Festivals are <strong>Justin Saliba<\/strong>, <strong>Ethan \u201cRampage\u201d Yau<\/strong>, and our founder <strong>Jonathan Little<\/strong>.

Pokercoaching.com is once again proud to be on board as a sponsor! We\u2019re always happy to support organizations whose aim is to grow the game of poker, and Cardplayer Lifestyle and their founder <strong>Robbie Strazynski<\/strong> truly fit that bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Featured-image-with-sponsor-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Mixed Game Festival VIII at Bellagio June 16-20\" class=\"wp-image-2531557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Featured-image-with-sponsor-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Featured-image-with-sponsor-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Featured-image-with-sponsor-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Featured-image-with-sponsor.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of our sponsorship, a &#8220;Pokercoaching.com Player of the Day&#8221; will be selected for recognition on each day of the Mixed Game Festival and have their story written up in Cardplayer Lifestyle\u2019s published recaps and will also get a FREE PokerCoaching hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Robbie will be conducting random drawings throughout the festival where winners will get free 1-month Pokercoaching Premium memberships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome of the most unique and exciting moments during our past Mixed Game Festivals have occurred when weekend warriors get the opportunity to battle it out against top-tier, decorated pros. That guy who successfully pulls off a bluff in a $4\/8 mixed game against a high roller like Justin Saliba in a 2-7 Drawmaha pot on the river; he\u2019ll have a great story to tell for life!\u201d said Strazynski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially if you\u2019ve never played mixed games before, the $4\/8 fixed limit action easily makes this the most affordable entry point to dip your toes in the water. Plus, Mixed Game Festival VIII is taking place right across the street from the WSOP. It\u2019s the perfect place to chill and splash around for a couple hours while taking a break from the pure NLHE\/PLO tournament and cash game grind.
