From what I could see (I could be missing something), there were somewhere around 6 videos for SSNL, and they were mostly 3/6 to 5/10 shorthanded games.

I've been a member for about a month and I mostly agree with the "Newbie" posters. The videos are really good at showing the LAG style. Green Plastic's are gold, but the other players' videos are also worthwhile. I'm not really a tournament player, but JSup's videos are very well done.

For $60, I don't think most players would be making a mistake with signing up. Some of the higher limit NL players, like 5-10 or higher, might not get much out of the site, though. But, the way I look at it with poker learning tools, if you learn one single move, theory, etc. how can it not pay for itself?

Also, one night I got drunk and watched some of JSup's videos for a $5 rebuy tourney, where he played the rebuy rounds like a lunatic. It was pretty hilarious. See, even a little comedic relief for your money.

In summary, definitely worth the money, more video updates would be nice, though.

please, it's 60 bucks. learning one or two new concepts can be worth so much more than that it's ridiculous, even in low stakes games.

People use this argument all the time, be it with Poker Websites or Poker books. However I never see anyone say: "ok it's xx bucks. but the price doesnt matter because one bad concept could cost you so much..."

If you can't tell good advice from bad, you're going to go broke no matter how much money you hoard.

I bought the subscription a couple days ago to see what it was like after reading this thread.

There are a lot of videos and I I've only been able to watch the 6max ring games so far. The commentary is decent and they analyze what they're thinking on each hand, and how they put a player on a certain hand (or range of hands). They stress how important position is more than anything and follow their reads to the end. The style of play is very loose from the button and very very tight in the blinds.

Some of the videos are uneventful but they still try to get across certain points. Some start at headsup, move to 6max and then back to headsup so there is some coverage on switching gears based on number of opponents.

Overall I don't think its a waste of money, especially if you're not great in a certain field. Ring players can learn something I'm sure, plus they can easily improve their SNG or MTT play, and the other way around.
