Summary: Annie's Video's
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Some good advices, but way too much filler
Comment: 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.

Summary: What a joke
Comment: 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.

Summary: pokyman
Comment: Annie Duke is the best femail poker player today, so I thougt I might get some nice ideas from this DVD about Online poker and maybe I could learn something new. I was very disapointed about it, it is very basic, and all this DVD is about seem to be advertisment for the poker site Ultimate Bet, did I learn something useful? No.
so what did I learn?
1.I learned how to download the Ultimate Bet software.
2.I learned how I should do to deposit money to Ultimate Bet.
3.I learned that there is s&g's and tournaments on Ultimate Bet.
3.I learned that I should be a tight player online,
nothing about how to play and what to play, and thats about it.
this is a scam DVD, don't buy it.
