We've written before about how PokerStars' slate of regional tours are a great way for players to get experience of deepstacked, well-structured poker tournaments at a price point that's a lot lower than the EPT.
They're also a fertile breeding ground for players wanting to step up to the EPT and there's a host of them who've had success on the UKIPT, Estrellas or Eureka tour before replicating that success on a bigger stage. Players of the calibre of Max Silver, Ludovic Geilich and Adrian Mateos all first hit the big time away from the bright lights of the EPT. Now, Nir Levy is following in their footsteps.
Until August 2014 Levy had never cashed in a live tournament with a buy-in of more than ā¬300. He'd made two side event final tables on the Eureka Poker Tour but little else of note. Then came EPT100 and the Estrellas Barcelona Main Event. Since PokerStars began kicking off their EPT festivals with one of their regional tours Main Events the numbers have rocketed and Barcelona was no different.
A ridiculous 2,560 people entered the ā¬1,000 event and Levy was one of four players left in when they struck a deal. That near ā¬200,000 cash gave him a lot more than just a breakthrough score. 'I think it gave me a lot of confidence. I had a great year online in 2014 and Barcelona came after a few big scores I had online. It increased my bankroll by a lot. I'm a bankroll nit most of the time,' he told us during a break in play before adding. 'This is my second time playing the EPT, I played in Barcelona and got knocked out in Day 2. I won a seat to this event in a ā¬215 re-entry satellite.'
The 27-year-old, who lives 20 minutes south of Tel Aviv in a city called Rehavot, plays poker online full-time but has also got involved in a side project. 'I've started coaching at the Israeli Poker Academy, which is a live poker course with power point presentations all that kind of stuff so I'm both playing and coaching. I'm not one of the owners, I just work there. A friend of mine is one of the owners and he wanted me to coach there, so I'm coaching tournaments. It's mostly for beginners but they also have some advanced courses.'
The fact that there's an Israeli Poker Academy might surprise some people, but then Israel provided more players in this Main Event than any of Bulgaria, Greece, Portugal, Brazil, Spain, Ukraine, Ireland or Lebanon. 'I think if I remember correctly there were 22 Israeli players in the Main Event so we definitely have a community,' says Levi. 'I've been playing since the end of 2007 and I didn't know anybody. In 2010 I met a lot of people that play online on PokerStars. A lot of Israeli's play high stakes, so maybe it's a new community, but it's big compared to the size of my country.'
The players he's teaching tournament poker to at the Academy are in good hands. 'I play tournaments online, mostly PokerStars and PokerStars.fr and Full Tilt. Mid to high stakes tournaments. I play the Super Tuesday ($1,050 buy-in) I wouldn't say all the time, but if I've had a good week I will play it. In 2014 I took second in the Big 109, I final tabled the Sunday Supersonic, I won the Sunday Brawl on Full Tilt and also had lots of ā¬5k scores.'
He's certainly not fazed about this tournament's buy-in being the size of many of his online scores. 'I don't think about the money and I'm used to playing against really tough players all the time. I think that the field in an EPT is probably softer than the high stakes online, obviously there's a lot of money on the line but I'm not going to play scared money or anything. I don't think about the money I just think about how to play my game.'
It's definitely a first world problem, but today Levi has joined the long list of poker players who've missed a flight and it could well land him in trouble. 'It's my girlfriend's birthday on Saturday, I booked a flight for today but knew if I made Day 4 that I'd have to delay it and now I might miss her birthday entirely, if I do I'll need to bring her a really nice present I guess.'

That is exactly why I built the Academy.

(You can find a full list of available courses as you scroll down).

āIām blown away by what youāve put together in the Academy.ā

āI started 7 months ago, I now have 300 subscribers and $400 earned.
Before I joined the Academy, I had three problems:
a) Passion. Deep down I knew what my passion was but I had so many mental blockages around it that I was honestly convinced that I didnāt even have one.
b) Knowledge. I had no idea how to make a business online and/or do what I loved ā I didnāt even know what a blog was (I know ā for a 28yr old that is ridiculous right!?)
c) Fear. I was terrified of giving up my financial security and all the luxuries I was used to in order to start something from scratch and potentially fail.
Hereās how the Academy has helped:
I could get cheesy here but let me be terribly English and simply say that āI owe Henri a lotā.
a) My psyche. Lifestyle Liberation Academy (LLA) taught me to get honest with myself about who I really was and what I was really born to do. It supported me to set aside all of my fears and my limiting mental dialogue and actually give my dream business a chance. It was Henriās intuitive teaching that made me realise that I was not alone, that how I felt was completely normal and he gave exceptional advice of how to work through those mental barriers.
b) The Knowledge. The courses offered in the LLA are second to none. I was a complete novice so I needed to be spoon-fed, and Henri gives you practical, step by step instructions on how to go from Zero to Successful. Everything you could want is covered: how to set up your site, what to name it, your sign-up incentive product, how to write articles, SEO, building your subscription list, and lots lots more. It is first-class stuff and so digestible for a beginner.
c) The Support. You can ask any question that you come up against and you get answers back within hours. Henri is always there to add his expert input.
Not least of all, by having a facility like LLA, it got me from running around in the dark, unhappy, without a clue, to working in a growing business, living my dream and feeling very joyful about my life.
What about my results?
I started 7 months ago. I now have 300 subscribers, have guest posted on Tiny Buddha, The Change Blog and have been picked up and republished by Life Hack and magazines. I currently have 2 regular coaching clients at $100 per hour and have made approx $400 so far. My first product launch was a flop (only made one sale) but I learnt from it so it was good ā it didnāt solve a big enough problem for my readers. I have just released my second product (guided meditation) ā letās see how it goes š
I would recommend LLA to anyone who wants to be their own boss, work from anywhere, choose their working hours, do what they love, and partake in the incredibly rewarding experience of creating their own business. LLA has everything you could need to make that happen and more.ā

Imagine being able to handle any setback and obstacle life throws at you.

You see criticism and learn from it (if thereās something to learn).
If something doesnāt work, you find another way forward.
In the Invincible Mindset Class, you learn all of the above. You discover how you can develop a mindset that helps you do what you love, no matter what comes your way.

6. Truth & Clarity
In this class, I go through common obstacles and fears, and how I personally overcame them.
Examples of topics covered in this class: Dealing with criticism, overcoming excuses, moving forward when you feel paralyzed, impostor syndrome, and so much more.
Most lessons are kept under 10 minutes, so you can easily listen to it while out for a walk, or read it on a short break.
This class is about you getting a sneak peek into my mindset, and what works in the real world.
This is not theory, but what Iāve found to work.
NEW: 7. Transcend Worry
Do you struggle with worry and fear?
Do you find yourself paralyzed by the movies playing in your head?
Then youāll love this class, because it goes deep into the structure of how we as humans create our experience of life.

You may still worry, but something has shifted.
If you like the way this sounds, you have to check this class out, because it may just change your life.
8. Inner GPS Course
What if you discovered how to make decisions as yourself?
You wouldnāt have to rely on outside authorities anymore.
Youād know how to deal with confusion, fear, and worry. You wouldnāt eliminate negative feelings, but you would know how to deal with them.
Does this sound interesting?
The Inner GPS Course condenses what Iāve learned in over a decade of living an unconventional life, and how Iāve learned to make decisions that lead to a satisfying and fulfilling life.
9. The $100 Site Course
The goal of this course is to help you build an online website that makes between $30 and $100 per month (hence the name).
Iāve been building niche sites for years, and this is how I got started.

And if you ever get stuck, you can ask as many questions as you want via email.
11. Kindle Publishing Course
Self-publishing works, and it works well.

Iāve done this myself. Iāve written 6 books (so far), and itās bringing in a nice extra income, plus attracting new people to my websites and business.

You know what that means, donāt you?
It means that I listen to your feedback when I decide what courses I create. It also means that the courses will be extremely effective in helping you reduce your learning curve.

I account for chaos, fear, and uncertainty, which so often paralyzes you, and keeps you from moving forward.
This course contains all the tips and tricks Iāve found along my path to help me move forward even when the world around me seems to be plunged in darkness.
In short, in this course youāll get a simple framework to follow that will help you move forward, and overcome the obstacles that so often hold you back from doing what you love.
āIāve joined several different courses on blogging and earning money online.
Some of the were quite expensive, but none of them gave me what the Lifestyle Liberation Academy has. In the courses Iāve tried before, there usually wasnāt a place where I could ask questions. And if I could, my questions were often misunderstood.
It [The Academy] has resources for getting you into the right mindset, as well as resources for your technical needs. As for me, my affiliate marketing goals are moving along and my blog is up and running. Iām also moving along with an ebook/kindle book project. All thanks to the Academy.ā

Unsolicited Feedback from an Academy Member
āIāve Found My Niche and My Passion. My Website is Already Up and Running Thanks to the Academy!ā
āBefore I joined the Lifestyle Liberation Academy, I was overwhelmed and didnāt know where to start.
After joining the Academy, my progress is much faster. It has given me a roadmap so that I always know what to focus on and how to take the next step. Iāve found my niche, what Iām passionate about, and my website is already up and running.
What I like most is that the training deals as much with mindset as it does the mechanics of building your lifestyle business. There is a lot more fear and overwhelm involved in the process than I realized and Henri does an awesome job teaching how to deal with these feelings and keep moving forward. Another thing I like is the structure with workbooks and checklists that always keeps me on track.
On top of that, the ongoing training and courses has amazing content. Henri really over delivers.

āI Went from Zero to My First $100ā
āAfter a few months in the Academy, I went from zero to getting my first clients and making my first $100.
I took massive action under gentle nudges by Henri. The part I like most about the Academy is people.
I can ask as many questions as I want and Iām never criticized or made to feel stupid.ā

About the Creator of the Academy
If you didnāt already know, Iām Henri.
Iāve always lived an unconventional life.
Right out of high school, I became a professional online poker player. I traveled the world and discovered that money wasnāt the answer to happiness.
In 2006, I started feeling like I could do more. I felt like something was missing. I went online in search for something else. I wanted to contribute something to the world.
I didnāt know what that was at the time. Iāve always liked building websites, so thatās where I started. I began looking for opportunities. The problem was that I was looking for shortcuts and quick fixes.
This led me to get-rich quick programs and coaching, where I ended up wasting over $10,000.
In 2008, I was short thousands of dollars and two years. I wasnāt seeing results, and I gave up for almost a year. I just didnāt know what to do. There was no one I could turn to for help. And to be honest, I didnāt have the right mindset at the time.
Finally, in 2009 something clicked. And when things clicked, I went from $0 to $500 per month online in just a few months. At the end of 2009, my girlfriend and I (and our dog) moved to Spain for a year.
And this is what it looked like.
We made new friends.
We ate some great Spanish food.
And we learned some Spanish. Fue un tiempo maravilloso.
Then in 2011, we returned to Scandinavia. It felt like the next step for us.
And we were right, because in March 2011, Ingela (my girlfriend) became pregnant. And in December 2011, our first son was born.
In 2015, a second one plopped out.
Having a lifestyle business means I can spend as much time as I want with my family.
Anyone can build a business around something they are interested in. And anyone can tap into their purpose in life.
Yes, that means you, too.
But you have to be willing to take the first step.
Israeli Poker Academy Pro
And I sincerely believe that the Lifestyle Liberation Academy is the best first step you can take.
I donāt see myself as an all-knowing expert. Instead, Iāve just made a few more mistakes than most people, and Iād like to share those mistakes with you in the Academy.
I want to see you succeed.
Because that is what makes my heart sing.
āI started trying to figure out how to āmake money onlineā in 2007.
Since then, Iāve spent a small fortune on ebooks, paid memberships, and websites that were supposed to start making me money fast. None of it worked.
But one day, I stumbled upon Henri and the Academy. I think the Lifestyle Liberation Academy is one of the best tools and resources for any expert or novice (like me) that wants to make money doing what they enjoy.
Henri is very attentive. I canāt imagine a better support system for the same money any where else.ā
