DVD Reviews of Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament - Series 1
DVD Review: Incredible DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is very educational. It seems that the players and the commentary about the action, makes for a good learning experience. I did not agree with all of the commentary, but I thought quite a bit of it was informative. I especially liked the comments by Mark Gregoritch. Maybe it was the editing, but it seemed that there was a ton of bad beats in this tourney.
In the final episode, Doyle Brunson's pocket Queens ran up against Gus Hansen's Aces. Doyle looks foolish but if you consider the rest of the tournament from the first episode and the type of hands that Gus was playing, Doyle's move made sense.
>End of Review. Great DVD.
*** A couple of sidenotes and things I would like to see to improve these type of poker DVDs. ***
In the photos section you see Gus Hansen holding up a big check for $500,000. Which does not make a lot of sense because the commentators mention that first prize was $1M and they also say the buy-in was $400K. It never mentions what the other payouts were and I have not found them on the Internet.
One major thing I do not like about these poker shows is they do not display hand numbers. I know there are a lot of "boring" hands that do not make for good TV, but I would like to get an idea how much time passes between hands. Also I would like to know more about the structure. I would like to know the current level how much time is left to the next level etc. It is hard to tell when levels change every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour? from watching the DVD.
I would also like it if there was an option on the DVD to turn off the hole cards so you could guess what the players are doing. The commentary would need to be turned off as well. Then you could always replay and turn on the hole cards, after you have made a guess. This would make the DVD even more educational.
