All DRM prevents the same thing. You can watch your videos only for a certain period of time. As far as I know, Leggo DRM is the same as CR DRM. Both allow you to watch until your subscription ends or for 14 days before you need to re-enter your information to renew the DRM license. If it's DRM your worried about, I wouldn't worry too much as the content is great and well worth it.

Re: * Official Training Site Discussion Thread *

Its quite obvious that Cardrunners are pumping alot of money into marketing and buying No.1 Spot on poker training review sites.

IMO, it shows a clear conflict of interests on the review sites part. Sure, you can say that they are feature/spotlight sites. But, these sight are used for reviews. You can say xxx is the best site, but you have to wade through the promotional banners etc....
Clearly shows (their) profitability is > responsibility, IMO of course.

But he lost more than 1/2 his stack in the 1st 5 or so hands that he shouldn't have invested any money in imo.

If that video is the one they hand selected to represent their site, I'll pass.
I haven't seen this particular video but I can assure you that the Bax/Sheets videos are terrific. I have seen a few by "Inissint" and they were pretty solid as well. I wouldn't let one rotten apple ruin your experience in this case.

Re: * Official Training Site Discussion Thread *

With all these accusations can anyone site anything in their REVIEWS where something appears drastically wrong? Everyone seems to make a big deal about a site having banners etc but I believe the reviews are pretty much right on. No seems to make an issue with all the banners here on 2+2 or the fact they charge like $40K+ to have a subforum etc. Business is business but I honestly don't see where it's affected their reviews of the sites & no one has actually quoted a review where something appears inconsistent. It's not like as if their are UB or anything & are ripping people off.

I've posted several examples ITT where I think money is getting in the way of them making impartial judgments, insofar as not mentioning true negatives and having ridiculous over the top positive conclusions (I mean, HUSNG.com is my personal favorite of the sites, but "a must-have for everybody who is serious about HUSNG"? C'mon). I've also posted about a clear blurring of what is advertisement and what is the site's impartial rankings.

The comparison to 2+2 is ridiculous. 2+2 does not have any position on any of these sites. That's the whole point of the review guides, and that's the problem. DUCY?

Re: * Official Training Site Discussion Thread *

I don't know if the HU SNG example is a good one. I think that's up for debate. I don't play HU SNG's much but if I DID why would I not join a site that's exclusively for HU SNG's? I do play SNG's quite a bit so it's appropriate , I feel/think, to join a site that's exclusively for SNG's such as SitNGoGrinders. I don't think it's going to far when they have guys like Primordial etc coaching there to say it's an outlandish over the top statement.

Re: * Official Training Site Discussion Thread *

Again, HUSNG.com rocks. But it's not right for everyone. I don't have a subscription even though I am obv serious about husng and think the world of Primo and their coaches. The mentality that if you play a game, a training site that has to do with the game is a must-have, as echoed so often in PTG's reviews:

Quote:
a must buy if you are serious about improving your tournament game.
Quote:
so give it a shot
Quote:
look no further
Quote:
Great deal for a must have program.
Quote:
If you join [site] you will probably end up learning and crushing a new game because the instruction is so good.
Quote:
highly recommended
Quote:
definitely worth it
Quote:
a must join site
Quote:
I'd recommend going outside your bankroll to pay for this
Quote:
Very much worth it
puff puff puff puff over the top over the top over the top. And when you think about how making these kind of reviews affects the site, it's not at all hard to put two and two together.

Quote:
right now an overall rating is inconclusive.
ooo burn

You seem to have a serious love for what is a simple review site. You have maintained this love/crush/hard-on in the old poker training site discussion thread where you posted the link numerous times telling people to check it out. Seriously, I dont post here much and am generally a lurker but I'm sick of this guy acting as a shill, and now watch him defend to the dead for this site that he is 'not affiliated with'.

Also, Its obvious their site is not giving impartial reviews, and any one trying to argue otherwise is either a stakeholder in the site or a level.

Seems just about every other post here is some comparison of who is better be it durrrr better than Isuldur etc it doesn't appear any different here. I use the site, just as I am a DC member & use their site & recommend them because I believe it's a good site. Once again you state "it's OBVIOUS their site is not giving impartial reviews" you don't site any quotes from a review, just that it's "obvious". Gimme a break. You don't like the site or whatever fine that's you opinion & your entitled. I subscribe to many sites & bounce around depending on what I'm curious about etc & I use them as I think they are fair so that makes me a shill? Gimme a ****ing break. I'm surprised no one has stated I'm a DC "shill" or affiliated with DC in any just because I "defend to the death". **** I should open my own site just to spite your dumb a$$.
I wonder if I would be accused of being a coach or a shill because I think Glitlr is the best $16 SNG coach around. Give it a break man.

I don't think Pancho is a shill. He's passionate about what he likes and has been that way as long as I've seen him on the boards. This is coming from someone who owns a training site that he is NOT passionate about, so TIFWIW.

Cut him a break, IMO.

Thanks Taylor, especially considering I DON't belong to your site.

Re: * Official Training Site Discussion Thread *

yeah, Pancho is just a user who thinks highly of a product, those users are certainly welcome to discuss and chime in their opinion when appropriate. i've talked with him and there's no reason to believe he's a paid shill or anything like that.

Then it must be a bug, because I haven't been a CR member for over a year but I can still watch my old CR videos.

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything about this...
