What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

I've been looking at some DVDs on Amazon, what would you guys say are the best DVDs out there for advanced poker players? I play Limit/NL holdem live and online.

Re: What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

Phil Hellmuth produces some increble DVDs, very advanced stuff. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Re: What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

I've seen only two DVDs: One by Hellmuth and one by Annie Duke. Between the two of them, there is no comparison. Duke's is twenty times better.

Re: What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

I have heard Final Table Poker by Phil Gordon is good although I have yet to see it.

Re: What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

I heard duke's is really good, phil gordon's also on my list. I just borrowed a lederer's DVD from a friend but i think its a beginner one, i'll post about it as soon as I finish. Anymore suggestions? there must be tons out there

I have yet to see them, but from what I have been told, the first Lederer DVD is very basic. However, the second one is supposed to be far better- "more" secrets of no limit hold'em.

That sounds like a comparison to me lol.

Re: What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

I rented Annie Duke's dvd(s) from netflix. Her dvd is very,very good.

I will preface my next statement by saying I am not a member of the universal Phil Hellmuth hate squad - but I must says his dvd's are very, very bad.

So to sum up:

Annie Duke dvd(s): very, very good.
Hellmuth dvd(s): very, very bad.

The second Lederer DVD, "more" Secrets of Hold'em was pretty well done. I'm still not sure someone who is 'advanced' would learn a lot, but he is a good teacher. He demonstrated a number of tricks that are easy to understand in the DVD format.
Here is a list of the material covered on the DVD:
1) Pre-flop --beyond the basics
2) Pre-flop -- blind play
3) Pre-flop -- avoiding traps
4) Pre-flop -- suited connectors
5) Pre-flop -- limping in
6) Pre-flop -- opening bet
7) The flop -- texture
8) The flop -- vary your play
9) The flop -- Beware of low flush draws
10)The flop -- learn to check
11)The flop -- Information raise
12)4th street -Pot control
13)4th street -Bluff into scare cards
14)4th street -When to slow play
15) 5th street-value betting
16) 5th street -Stay with your read
17) 5th street -putting it all together
18) Tournament play --Stack size matters
19) Tournament play --Create dead money
20) Tournament play --Don't bluff into an empty side pocket
21) Improve your play
22) Take it slow

Some of it looks basic, but Lederer does a nice job of presenting all of the areas. Nice refresher DVD as well, even if you are pretty familair with what is discussed.

Hi ECDub. Thanks for taking the time to post this. I might make a purchase and see what it's like. For $10 it has got to be worth a look.

I'm desperately waiting for the Ed Miller DVD's.

Re: What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

are you just wanting them, or are they actually going to make them?

Re: What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

He already finished filming them. There is no release date yet, but they are in final production. He announced this in the NEWS VIEWS AND GOSSIP forum under the Radio show announcement.

Re: What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

I hate to say it because I don't want to play against anyone who has seen it but...Phil Gordons "Final Table Poker" is a godsend. After watching it I placed 1st and then 3rd in 2 home games that I struggled in before. I am pretty new to poker. I've only been playing a few years and only a few dozen live games under my belt but a ton of online. If you fit that description the DVD might help you too.

Re: What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

I have the 2004 World Poker Player's Conference DVD. It's can be a little expensive but it's good stuff. It's worth checking out. LINK

Re: What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

Which annie duke DVD did you guys say was good?

Re: What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

Is "Poker: On-Line" any good? are there any good online poker DVDs out there?

Re: What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

I read nothing but good reviews about Phil Gordon's DVD and got it. Best DVD I've seen yet and I have everyone's but Annie Duke's. I really can't say enough good things about it. I still watch it before I play in my regular league game. I got Gordon's DVD here:
www.ExpertInsight.com
but I'm sure you can find it on Amazon too.
Good luck.

Re: What\'s the best DVD for poker strategy?
 

actually that is a pretty general question...for intermediate no limit Lederer's More Secrets of No Limit Holdem is a good start,then World Poker Players Conference good seminar by Mark Gregorich on playing professionally and final tabel play by Daniel Negreanu, Phil Gordons is good and Annie Duke's Advanced Holdem secrets is the best advanced DVD, Finally whether you like Hellmuth or not his overall poker talent as seen in the National Heads Up Poker Championship is essential if you want to get better at heads up or are constantly finishing 2nd or 3rd in the sit n go's. I think each of the mentioned will take years off the learning curve.
