Cory Mikesell is a unique talent that breaks a breadth of theoretical poker knowledge, teaching experience and plenty of hands at a variety of stakes to the Run It Once lineup. His journey into poker and games in general began with chess where he became a national chess master at the age of 20. His friends in the chess world suggested that he give poker a shot as it is more lucrative and Cory heeded their advice diving in to the low stakes games on Bovada. His predilection for chess and the heads-up nature of that game influenced his poker style and he found most of his volume being played at HUPLO.

His strong theoretical approach coupled with his experience on the felt and lengthy teaching background make his videos a must watch for those looking to take their game to the next level. His first video features a brief introduction before touching on his general approach to the game.
