Dylan Linde is one of the most respected mixed-game and tournament professionals in modern poker. He is known for his discipline, technical range, and ability to win in formats that demand a deeper understanding of fundamentals. With three WSOP bracelets and consistent results across both live and online play, he has built a reputation as a player who succeeds in the toughest environments.
Linde grew up in Idaho and developed a competitive mindset through games that rewarded logic and patience. Poker became a natural extension of these interests. He entered the online scene during a period when improvement came from volume, detailed review, and structured analysis. This early commitment to process shaped the way he studies and the way he approaches high-level decision making today.
Although he has delivered strong results in no-limit hold’em tournaments, Linde earned much of his reputation through mixed games. He committed himself to understanding how equities shift across formats and how incentives change in both limit and big-bet structures. His comfort across the full rotation made him one of the most versatile players on the circuit, with deep results in events that attract experienced specialists.
In hold’em tournaments, Linde built a résumé defined by consistent finishes on the WPT, WSOP, and major online series. His ability to manage long fields, handle pressure at all stack depths, and identify population tendencies helped him stand out among top tournament players. His experience in mixed games strengthened his no-limit strategic discipline and sharpened the way he thinks about range interaction and early-street fundamentals.
At GTO LAB, Linde brings a direct and methodical coaching style. He shows players how to understand the structure of a spot, break it into manageable parts, and build intuition through clarity and repetition. Rather than overwhelming students with technical detail, he focuses on the core drivers of expected value and the strategic incentives that influence solver outputs. His background in multiple variants gives him a unique ability to teach concepts that carry across formats and simplify complex decisions.
Linde’s coaching is grounded in practical improvement. He helps players study efficiently, identify high-leverage mistakes, and apply mixed-game principles to strengthen their tournament play. His balanced and thoughtful approach fits naturally within the GTO LAB coaching team, which includes Ben Heath, Thomas Boivin, Brian Kim, Jonathan Jaffe, and Nick Petrangelo.
