PokerPages worked hard, using vision and imagination to put together an entirely new concept that will not only teach poker but will be the beginning of another new poker community from which we hope to one day produce many World Series of Poker Champions.

PokerSchoolOnline.com is the first-ever online poker school where anyone (beginners through professional players) can practice, learn and improve their poker game. It has always been PokerPages' mission to improve the knowledge and playing ability of every poker player that we reach.

Now, www.PokerSchoolOnline.com will focus on that mission 365 days a year 24 x 7. This is the beauty of the Internet. There are no geographical boundaries or time restraints.

Goal #1: Local Champions
Millions of dollars in prize money are being contested around the world almost every day in the rapidly expanding world of Poker tournaments. But players need to be of a certain standard to be able to compete. Helping you attain this standard is the 1st goal of the school. We want you to be able to compete and place in tournaments in your local poker rooms (no more being the ones just bumping up the prize money for the more skilled players).

Goal#2: Worldwide Champions
Our 2nd goal is to produce poker champions that place in global tournaments, where PokerSchool Online will sponsor a number of these champions into those events. Each May in Las Vegas, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) takes place and literally thousands of poker players from all over the world converge on Binions Horseshoe trying to capture the biggest prize in the poker world.

In 2002, the first prize for the $10,000 buy-in world championship event is estimated at $2,000,000. Can you imagine? It's more prize money for the winner than any major sporting event. To take part in the WSOP main event is the desire of every poker player in the world. To take part in it is simply a dream for most. PokerSchool Online will turn that dream into reality for many players who will be sponsored by the School to take part in the WSOP.
