DVD Reviews of Winning Strategies: Texas Hold 'em Poker
DVD Review: very, very basic...
Summary: 2 Stars
This video is for extreme beginners and most of the material has been covered by Caro in his books "Fundamental Secrets of Poker" published nearly 15 years ago(1991) and the "Book of Tells" originally published in 1984; both good books but as a video it is lacking and there is nothing new, which is very disappointing. If you have only played in home games or have never played several viewings would give some good basic instruction and introduce you to some of the good common tells that beginners should know.
This video covers both limit and no limit holdem but doesn't really go enough in depth to cover either game well; it also includes a condensed section on tells. Although the games are structurally identical the differences are so great that most players watching this video will get into too much trouble watching it; he covers most of the basics in three or four minutes each leaving only experienced players understanding what's going on but as it is aimed for novice players it has little value to almost any player-he doesn't go into enough detail for beginners and and there is little new material for experienced players. Based on these shortcomings it gets a 2 rating.
It is unfortunate when one of the legendary figures in poker puts out mediocre products. His "Caro's Book of Tells" is still one of the greatest contributions to poker literature but this video gets a pass. If you are just starting out rent it from Netflix or your local video store. It is short and there are better Holdem videos out there. I think the Howard Lederer videos are much better than this for learning the game.
