In the ever-evolving world of poker, several learning platforms have emerged to cater to the needs of German-speaking players. Here's a rundown of some of the most popular ones.

Poker Γ‰xito, founded by Santiago Torres in 2012, initially focused on practical strategies for games against recreational players, game understanding, and software-assisted training. The platform placed a strong emphasis on personal guidance, offering micro-coaching, analysis sessions, intensive programs, and individual leak fixes. Unfortunately, the passing of Santiago Torres left a void in the Spanish-speaking poker landscape.

PokerCode, a German learning platform by Fedor Holz and Matthias Eibinger, combines strategy videos with an active Discord community and regular live coaching. It is recommended for players looking for long-term development and community involvement.

Pokerschool.cc is a beginner-friendly platform with German courses, hand analyses, and strategy articles, suitable for players with small bankrolls. Unlike Poker Γ‰xito, Pokerschool.cc focuses less on GTO and more on solid fundamentals for cash games and tournaments.

Run It Once, primarily an English-speaking platform, has recently started offering German subtitles for many courses. Players like Kevin Rabichow and Jason Koon deliver high-level GTO concepts, making it a valuable resource for German-speaking poker enthusiasts.

Raise Your Edge, founded by Highroller Benjamin Rolle, is considered one of the most renowned poker schools in Europe. While the content is in English, many German-speaking players find the learning structure and community forum useful. The Tournament Masterclass course of Raise Your Edge is particularly popular and regularly updated.

Despite internal disputes and unguaranteed successes, the importance of long-term thinking in the poker business is shown by projects like Run It Once. Sharing knowledge and building communities creates long-term income sources, as demonstrated by the enduring popularity of these platforms.

As for the details regarding Santiago Torres' poker school in Mexico, further research is required to provide accurate information. Nonetheless, the impact of these platforms on the German-speaking poker community is undeniable.
