Ivey is not the first poker player to showcase their skills and provide training on the MasterClass site as Daniel Negreanu, who recently split from PokerStars, hosted a 38-lesson course. Anyone signing up to MasterClass for the full year will get to study Negreanu��s course in addition to Ivey��s.
This is not the first time poker players have had the opportunity to learn from Ivey because he used to own the now defunct Ivey Poker online training site. The site launched under a fanfare in 2012 and quickly signed up more than a dozen professionals to front the site, but Ivey himself announced the site was closing temporarily in Oct. 2014 and the site has not reopened since.
What Is MasterClass?
MasterClass bills itself as an ��immersive online experience�� that gives access to elite athletes, business people, actors, film makers, chefs, and much more. In addition to poker strategy from Ivey and Negreanu, MasterClass users can learn about acting from Natalie Portman, get inside the creative mind of filmmaker David Lynch, business leadership from billionaire Howard Schultz, and even cooking skills from celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey.
