DVD Reviews of Masters of Poker Presents: Annie Duke's Conquering Online Poker

DVD Review: good dvd
Summary: 4 Stars

this is a good dvd on online poker. she tells you how to get startted and a few hints on how to used it as a training tool for live play. someone made a comment about her having the same cloths on in all of her dvd's. yes- this is true. but who cares. they most likely made all 4 of them the same day. so what? who cares about b.s. like that, anyway. and she doesn't repeat everything from one dvd to the next. she may stress a few of the samethings in all her dvd's- but 90% of its new. i'm really amazed at some of the reviews i've read on amazon. thanks to some of the whinning and bitching of some of these people i've gotten hundreds of dollars worth of dvds for very little money. perhaps some of you people should try pressing re-wind and etc.

DVD Review: Annie's Video's
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a very good video, the only problem I see with it is that all of Annie's videos seem to use the same material. Not just covering the same subjects but using the same footage.

DVD Review: Some good advices, but way too much filler
Summary: 2 Stars

This is a 60 minute program where Annie Duke tells you how to play online poker, and if you never have played online poker, this is a great introduction, but if you've been playing online for more than a week or so, there's way too much filler. She will literally tell you how to download the poker software. She also talks too much about hand history, about how you can see what cards people mucked. I'm not even sure that is true on most poker sites; perhaps it is on [...], the site she endorses.

The good part is when she tells you how to adjust your playing style according to the ante/pot size of the table. But this is a pretty short part of the total running time and doesn't justify spending[..]to hear. Overall, there's not really anything to justify this being a DVD at all. She's just sitting at a poker table talking, but she doesn't show any cards or anything, so this program would have been just as good as an audio lecture. Then, perhaps it would have been worth a couple of bucks to download.

DVD Review: Good for the beginner
Summary: 3 Stars

It never hurts to review the basics, especially as presented by Annie Duke!

DVD Review: What a joke
Summary: 1 Stars

What is the return policy again? Seriously this has nothing to do with conquering anything. It is a beginners (or a crossover from live to online) DVD which begs the question what does she discuss on the beginner's version... how to turn on your computer? She discusses the very basic concepts of how to play online and spends most of the DVD comparing online with brick and mortar casinos. What was the runtime? I didn't bother to watch the first chapter but I yawned through chapter 2 in 3 in what seemed like less than 30 minutes. I was expecting a DVD (which she annoyingly calls a tape) to help me polish my game not tell me to play tight when others are playing loose... duh. She spent about 2 minutes discussing starting hands and position. It made all kinds of sense that she sat at a real poker table wearing her granny shirt explaining online poker.

Also not all of her assertions are correct. I am not sure how much time she spends playing online but she just assumes that all cash ring games are loose play. In reality at different times of day you often get different table mixtures from mostly tight to mostly loose. She says in a tournament you have to play loose but she never bothers to explain what she considers loose play. In reality it is almost always better to pay off a few rounds of blinds unless you get a monster hand so you can size up your opponents and develop your strategy for that table. How do you know when it is safe to call, raise, or fold a preflop raise until you have a little history? Does this player raise with almost any 2 cards or is it the first time the player has raised at all? Knowing their habits will be the difference in suspecting a player is raising with a Jack thru Ace card and any any kicker (which some do) or is holding A-K or better.

So all in all if you have played for more than 2 weeks online you aren't going to learn much.

I am very embarrassed for Annie who is cashing in on the poker craze by releasing this "instructional" DVD which was more an infomercial for the ultimatebet site. Good thing I am a quick learner... she bluffed me out of money this time but I know to stay clear of her products from now on. It also makes me wonder if I should avoid the "professors" instructional material as well.
