BBZ vs Tournament Masterclasses
Title says it all.
I've been playing poker recreationally for 10+ years.
Don't consider myself a winning player, but also not a losing player.
I usually stay around break-even.
I've been looking into these two bundles for their price and who is behind them (lex, spraggy, fintan, bencb, ...)
Not looking into going full on pro, but am looking into getting much better and plugging my leaks.
Anyone with insights in these courses on which seems overall better?

PADS course from RIO is amazing, best one I have watched. RYE masterclass is obviously also very good but feels bit like shortened and simplified version of PADS course.
Also I would highly recommend BBZ seminars where you get access to live coaching and get all your questions in if you are active in chat, also access to searchable database of 1000+ videos, would recommend over RIO videos if looking into subscriptions, amazing value.
I've done both. For where you're at, I'd recommend RIO's "from the ground up" - one time purchase, cheap, will help you get up to speed. Then you can decide what you want to invest in further.
Honestly, as someone who has gone through RYE and BBZ simple poker systems (also daily seminars), im biased towards Jordan's teaching style. He has a way of making crazy difficult concepts seem too easy to understand. It's like he is able to teach everything barney style, which as a newer MTT grinder was way more benifical for me. I cant say enough good things about any of the BBZ products. Obviously you have to continue to do your own work on the side (HH and solver work) but i do think BBZ breaks things down to the point where you feel like you have a gameplan for every hand youre in.
Highly recommend BBZ courses. RYE masterclass isn't being updated anymore as he is focusing on the monthly fee product. All of the BBZ bundles are fantastic. Jordan, Apestyles, Jargo, and BFizz are excellent for MTTs. Best content out there IMO!
I would definetly go with BBZ. I have both of them and especially for the way you described your game BBZ will just be better suited for you.
RYE is great too but has a clear focus on exploitative Poker and ICM. Developing a theoretically sound game is just not the focus here, but shoud definetly be done before you start thinking about playing exploitative poker (You need to understand how the theory works in order to know how to properly deviate).
BBZ courses really tackle all the fundamentals and will just help develop a fundamentally sound game much better!
If you're looking to plug leaks and take your game to the next level, BBZ Poker is easily the top choice. Haveing big names attached, BBZ stands out for its structured, professional approach to real skill development. Their content is designed specifically to help players like you βbreak-even grindersβ identify weaknesses and build strong fundamentals. The coaching lineup includes proven crushers with a track record of success both online and live. BBZ also offers a much deeper dive into ICM, exploitative play, and GTO-based strategy than most other sites. If you're serious about actually improving, BBZ offers the most value and impact for your investment.
BBZ easily. I have used both in the past, and the BBZ bundles are the best way to go. They have intro videos that can help guide you through a learning path depending on what leak you want to work on first.
I bought the tournament master class when I was first getting into poker and there was good information, but I feel like the price is steep for what I got in return. Since then I've been a BBZ seminar student for probably four years now and I think it's the best value for the amount of content you get access to
