ABOUT STEVE PAVILANIS:

Steve Pavilanis is just a regular guy you might spot at your local $1/$3 table. Nobody in the poker world knows his name. A Quality Assurance Engineer with 25 years of experience working for Fortune 500 companies, he took a calculated approach to learning poker, starting at the smallest stakes online in 2004 and working up to multi-tabling $10/$20 no-limit hold'em games just one year later.

Over the past 20 years, he has refined a simple, repeatable strategy for beating today's live small-stakes games—without relying on complex GTO strategies or overwhelming memorization. Controlled Chaos™ helps recreational players avoid overwhelm and start making smarter, more profitable decisions in less time than they thought possible.

"I watched Steve's training before my last trip to Vegas, and it helped me run over most tables I sat at, winning countless pots with nothing more than pure aggression. This style is an absolute game changer."

"I took a Masterclass with Daniel Negreanu but didn't learn a fraction of what I've learned from Steve. His training has totally changed my game."
