Tina rated 5 out of 5 Know the Lingo 04/08/2008 ~ Tina

I really liked that this lesson defined a lot of the lingo used in Texas Hold 'Em, I otherwise wouldn't have known. It was a good walk through of the game and even a little strategy. They did a great job showing what the hierarchy of hands is too.

 


Judd rated 4 out of 5 Poker is the greatest game ever invented... 06/29/2007 ~ Judd

This is a good primer that will help you feel more comfortable when you decide to play. Better to watch this video and do a little homework beforehand as "lessons" in poker are expensive to learn!

 


Ellen rated 5 out of 5 Best Poker Video EVER! 02/19/2007 ~ Ellen

This by far is the best poker video I have ever seen. Very informative. It is OFF the Charts!

There were only a few bits of constructive criticism that came to mind:

Ellen- music in the background while Glen was talking was distracting. I loved the music when Glen was paused and there was text on the screen- that was very effective

Andy- He thought some of the effects were a little too professional and could be discouraging to a amateur film maker.
