Premium subscriber content test

Measure whether advanced players will pay for deeper strategy work.

This pilot keeps Mix Game School's public lessons available while testing a subscription layer for serious NL and PL players who want advanced labs, guided hand review, and repeatable study systems.

Value proposition

Premium content should make study more specific, not noisier.

The offer is not a paywall for basic strategy. It is a test of whether advanced readers value more detailed branches, stronger review habits, and practical drills enough to reserve a subscriber seat.

Advanced strategy labs

Turn public lessons into paid weekly work.

Subscribers get deeper NL and PL branches for SPR planning, blocker logic, turn-river leverage, and exploit selection so each study block ends with a table-ready decision rule.

Hand-review systems

Replace random saved hands with repeatable review.

Premium worksheets group hands by leak, stack depth, opponent type, and pressure line, then convert the pattern into one drill and one next-session goal.

Measurable study loops

Make progress visible before the next buy-in.

Every premium release includes a completion target, a short self-check, and a suggested metric so subscribers know whether the strategy changed their decisions.

Premium offer test

Three subscription tiers make price sensitivity visible.

Plan selections and reserve-access submissions are recorded locally and emitted to analytics when available, so the 30-day test can compare signup rate by tier instead of measuring page views alone.

Player testimonials

Existing strategy systems already point to paid demand.

These testimonials frame the premium test around effectiveness: clearer turn plans, stronger bluff filters, and more disciplined hand-review loops.

The stack-depth worksheets made my turn plan clearer before I put money in on the flop.

25NL cash player Used the SPR planning system to reduce thin double barrels and set cleaner river targets.

The blocker notes gave me a better filter for which missed draws are actually worth bluffing.

Pot-limit regular Built weekly drills from blocker lessons and reviewed recurring river pressure spots after each session.

I stopped saving random hands and started grouping them into one leak at a time.

Study group member Applied the leak-to-drill format to turn hand-history review into a focused weekly assignment.

Acceptance metric
