Not a study group.
A performance group.
Poker is solitary. This is not.
Studying stopped being solitary. Most players have three or four people to send a hand to. Everything else still is.
This group trains the other side: how you prepare, how you recover, how you play under pressure. That is what decides how much of your study reaches the table.
Some players work better with other people in the room. For them, a fixed group turns intention into something that actually happens. Five players at your level, 90 minutes a week.
Built to push you.
Every week.
One topic per session: sleep, fatigue, review, what you do when a day goes wrong. What you learn becomes that week's goal.
Every session ends with a commitment: one or two concrete actions for that week. We review it together in the next one.
You share your goal with the group, and you hear theirs. The way they work raises your standard, and the way you work raises theirs.
Five professionals working on the same thing at the same time. The room sets a level, and you calibrate against it week after week.
Week
by week.
Who this is for.
- 01 You are a professional tournament player.
- 02 You play mid to high stakes, tournaments as your main game.
- 03 You are in Europe.
- 04 You work well with other people in the room.
- 05 You want to raise your level, and the technical side is not what is missing.
- 06 The work away from the table interests you.
Who runs it
I am Alan Longo. I work with poker players on building the structure and routines that keep their decision-making consistent.
I have a degree in psychology and I have worked with professional poker players for more than six years, mostly at high stakes. What I adapt from sport psychology is the part that transfers: performance readiness, the state a player arrives in, which is what keeps a level consistent across a long year.
I do not teach strategy. That is not what I do, and it is not what this group is for. Your strategy is already there. This is the work that decides how much of it you execute on a given day.

I would recommend HPG as it creates a growth mindset oriented community, it's a community of people that are all going through a lot of similar struggles/wins in poker that a lot of people outside of poker will not be able to relate with. And it allows you to have an open an honest space to talk about and share some struggles with a lot of valuable feedback. In other words some of your biggest leaks will come to light and be plugged!

I would highly recommend Alan to anyone looking to take their game to the next level. Alan has provided valuable guidance to our players through individual and group sessions. A strong mindset is what separates the best from the rest in the poker world and Alan will certainly help you get there.

I would recommend it because I think the poker player generally starts out with the idea that poker is freedom, it is independence. But what I think takes time to understand, and what took me time to understand, is that this independence, this not depending on anyone else, makes you depend infinitely on yourself. And when that happens it is very important to learn to organise yourself, to manage your time, to have discipline, to be aware of many things that when you work for someone else, someone else handles. It is a very big challenge in many respects and it is essential to learn to manage your life, to plan it, to order it.

It's an amazing tool for every player no matter in what point in your career you are.
