5.0 out of 5 stars the wheat and the chaff, February 9, 2006
By J. Rubino (Simi Valley,Ca USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Sometimes I read through reviews to see if there is a consensus. This DVD set is very good and it is unfortunate when a review gets posted that is so far off. Most of the reviews here are positive and accurate so I won't rehash the same points. Just consider what one hour in a seminar from Daniel Negreanu on final table no-limit tournament holdem would be worth to you. The cost of this set is certainly less than the cost of that type of seminar.

I will agree that the Mike Caro portion is a re-run of his earlier material but that is it as far as finding the information here elsewhere.

Mark Gregorich's seminar on playing professionally is a huge eye opener to anyone considering poker as a work choice. He covers some very important aspects that might be overlooked by most people considering playing for a living. This is rarely discussed elsewhere and I have read a lot of poker books.

It is one of the more expensive poker DVD's out there but worth every dollar in my opinion. The majority of the reviews here are the wheat and the negative one is the chaff so throw it out and consider the value of what you do get in this set.There is much to learn here; it is not just entertainment. Highly recommended.
