Last week, I claimed the Doug Polk and Fernando \u2018JNandez87\u2019 Habegger YouTube feud<\/strong> revealed an ugly truth about the business of online poker training.<\/p>\n I said the very public battle revealed that poker training is a business. And that while those in the business of teaching others poker strategy may want it to look like they\u2019re in it to help players, the true motivation is money.<\/p>\n Habegger claims Polk\u2019s Upswing Poker<\/strong> owes him close to $100,000 for sales of the course he quit on.
