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.

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.

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

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.

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.
