Zenderman — Poker Specialist & Instructor
Zenderman is a professional No-Limit Hold'em cash game instructor and the face of RakeRace's training content. He came to poker from competitive chess and brought the study habits with him, which is roughly where his teaching style comes from: work the problem properly, then check whether the answer survives contact with a real table.
He coaches small-stakes players through live gameplay sessions, hand history reviews and strategy tutorials. His aim is the unglamorous one — make complex strategy usable by people who are not going to spend forty hours a week in a solver.
On RakeRace he covers cash game strategy, the poker rooms he plays on, and a good deal of the online poker news: tournament announcements, guarantee changes, and the developments that actually affect where it is worth sitting down this month.
