Customer Reviews

For the Beginner Only
I have been generous enough to give this product 3 Stars only because it is a good way for beginners, who aren't sure on the rules, to avoid making mistakes on the rules and etiquette of poker.

Unlike other 'Dummies' products this DVD IS purely for the beginner, with no new information for any player with the slightest experience of playing for hard cash. The only strategy mentioned is to play tight.

If you have the patience to read a book then your money is better spent on one of the many books available (including the book format of this DVD)

On the positive side the DVD is easy to watch and the chapters well laid out, enabling you to find anything you may want to double check, but almost all of the info can be digested in one viewing.
