5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Way To Learn!, December 18, 2005

By	Couch Critic "Ryan" (Chicago, Il.) - See all my reviews

I came across this DVD while at a poker trade show in Las Vegas. I already own How to Beat the Big Boys and thought I would check this one out. What a great way to learn the game. As with her first release, Annie is an absolute genius at explainging the game of poker. This is the only Poker DVD that I've seen that talks about Hold Em Basics in an interesting way. I have been playing for a long time and even picked up some great tips. I recomend this DVD to anyone who wants to learn how to play hold em.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for beginners, August 28, 2007

By	L. Howard "left coast reader" (california) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am truly a beginner, and this DVD was exactly what I needed. Annie Duke has a great demeanor, and she clearly explains the basics of Texas Hold'em in a manner that shows why this game is so popular. She has fun with her topic, clearly explains the basics, and gets into a fair amount of strategy. She discusses things like why one should or should not bet on a given hand--especially depending on their position at the table. She also discusses etiquette, and goes into great detail on a wide variety of "what ifs" that can take place during a game.

Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars helpful but only for rank beginners, April 18, 2006

By	Jane C. Nowlin "cardrack" (Navarre, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

if you've never watched Hold'em on TV then you will find this video helpful but it is way too basic for anyone who has played in a casino or who has played at all in a home game with the exception of the small section on hand odds and pot odds... It is nicely filmed and moves along well but is just too basic
