DVD Reviews of Final Table Poker with Phil Gordon
DVD Review: Very Good Presentation
Summary: 5 Stars
Final Table Poker is an excellent presentation of beginner to intermediate concepts. Phil Gordon doesn't waste any time getting to the heart of the matter with each hand that he plays, and each hand covers a specific and important topic that must be learned if the novice (that's me!) wishes to advance his or her game. If you pay close attention to Phil, you will readily understand his point on chapters such as #5 The Gap Concept, or #10 The Texture of the Board, #17 Don't Go Broke with One Pair!,
#24 Semi-Bluffs, and #34 Playing Your Opponent.
Because of this video, i have added Phil Gordon to my list of Favorite Authors along with Ed Miller & Dan Harrington. Seven Stars!
DVD Review: i'am not one of phil's friends
Summary: 5 Stars
i am amazed at the reviews people give poker dvd's here on amazon. i guess they want phil g. and phil m. and ect. to climb thru the tv and play the games for them. this dvd is very good. you see a game being played while listening to a great player tell you what he was thinking at the time of the hand. he then stops the game and explains concepts to you.thought for thought- idea for idea.he tells you why he made the winning move and why he made the loosing move. DVD Review: Not worth the money.
Summary: 1 Stars
The fact that there was only 7 reviews for this video was a "tell" that these glowing reviews were all written by Phil's friends. Unfortunately, just like lots of times when I'm playing poker, I spotted the tell but refused to believe it. As a result, I made a $20 loose call and bought this video.
It's not a bad little video, but it's just not worth $20. It gives you a few reminders of things to do and not to do at a final table but there's nothing new or special that you will get out of it. In all fairness, 100 minutes is not enough time for a video to go into a lot of detail. Considering the fact that it is only 100 minutes long, it does a fair job of summarizing final table strategy. But it is only that - a summary. Personally, I think it is worth about $5 and that would be top dollar. For my money, nothing comes close to Harrington's books on tournament strategy. However, if you're too lazy to read a book and you only want a few tips on final table play, then this video is probably what you're looking for.
DVD Review: The Best Educational Poker DVD Available!
Summary: 5 Stars
This really is a fantastic DVD for both seasoned Hold Em players and those new to the game. Among the piles and piles of dull, boring, and uninformative poker DVDs this video is leaps and bounds above the competition and here's why:
+ The production value is top notch. It's a simulated final table similar to what you'd see watching the WPT or WSOP on TV, so you really feel like you're just watching poker on TV and it's quite entertaining.
+ Phil Gordon is an exceptional instructor. His commentary throughout the video is very clear and easy to understand while at the same time being very detailed, in-depth, and accurate. He also has a great sense of humor and make the learning experience a fun one.
+ The video offers two viewing modes: commentary for beginners, which explains the play of the game along with strategy, and truly is great for beginners; and commentary for advanced players, which skips the boring gameplay explanations that we already know and gets right to the strategy aspects that we bought it for. It's very well organized.
+ The advanced commentary, while not really introducing new concepts, is still a great refresher for a seasoned player. It's a great way to rethink your game, and solidify some of the basic concepts of playing great poker.
+ If you're just a casual player looking to improve your home game performance this is exactly what you need. The "final table" format is basically exactly how your average home game is set up.
Now there isn't much negative to say about this video, but here are some minor gripes:
- If you're familiar with Phil Gordon's books and teachings then this video can feel a little like a dull review. He basically goes over everything that he details in his books.
- This is a SIMULATED final table, that is, all the hands are scripted with the purpose of teaching a specific lesson, or making a specific point. (I really would've loved to hear some of Phil Gordon's commentary from an actual live event, like his WPT 1st place finish at Bay 101.) The scripted format works for this video, but real poker situations aren't always quite as "textbook" as they appear in the video.
DVD Review: Final Table Poker with Phil Gordon
Summary: 5 Stars
This video bring home concepts more directly than many book or other video presentations. The sound track gives you Phil's thoughts and analysis of each hand as it is happening and presents every concept in clear understandable manner. I have watched this video several times and gained new understanding with each viewing. It is clear that each viewing is worth the time. You guys probably do not want to have this video as I might see you across the table some day.
