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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full marks, September 16, 2009

By	E. Branscomb (Greensboro, NC, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Annie Duke covers all the basics those seeking to make the jump from watching the pros on TV to playing yourself need to know. She is very personable and covers even the parts requiring math skills at a pace anyone could follow.
