Ditto. I am v interested in hearing some reviews.

Although I am sure Doug feels this is the optimal price to maximise revenue and I am personally interested in the series, why would any1 invest $1k upfront in a game that is dead?

You pay the money, you learn the tricks then there are 0 players across the internet willing to give you action.

If you need a review to determine if the course is worth it you're already drawing dead anyway.

Doug, no response to the VPN farm?

Doug, probably not very smart saying to poker fanatics on biggest poker forum that you are a businessman and not a poker player anymore, but its fully expected from you.

What's the problem Doug, play a little poker man , play Luke if he wants to play you, or anyone for that matter, play a little lower if needed, just play.. Surely you can find a few hours per week in your busy schedulle to dedicate to actually playing poker, no?

The HUNL mastery course took me a couple months, and I teach the strategy that made me the best player in the world. You can think that in the last year I am not as strong as in that time, but thinking i could not put together a high end course in the field of HUNL is downright laughable.
Hey doug,

I have some questions. (I am a prospective customer of at least the lab product):

i) In theory I'm a beginner (I dont play poker) but I have been studying poker on and off for 5 or 6 years so understand the game to a certain level, is it possible to explain what information in an available 6max hand upswing video is given (that applies to the small stakes players) and what is missing (the information that would be invaluable to a high stakes player)?

(Am not trying to be funny. I watch the youtube hand vids and enjoy them)

ii) What material for the more advanced player is coming soon?

iii) Is there a community in the forums (like at RIO where instructors reply indepth)? I appreciate the time this would involve.

Thanks

He has stated so many times that he doesn't play online cause he prefers being at his home in vegas VS travelling to vancouver to sit in front of his computer and get action HU maybe a couple times a month. If you weren't just a troll and watched any of his content you would see he plays the $25ks at aria / occasional high stakes live mix still , just no pokerstars cause the whole america thing.

He has also said he is much more interested in growing youtube and developing his upswing brand and he finds that competitive / enjoyable.

No one is going to submit review for a $1,000 training product from someone that was recently the best in the world in a dying format.

If you aren't smart enough to figure out a $1,000 course from Doug is good or bad, poker probably isn't the game for you.

I watched a lot of his videos, not all, and i never heard him say this but i beleive you.

It is actally for the health of his business/brand that i think he needs to keep playing online. Selling midstakes packages soon is he, wouldn't the best advertising for his new product be to actually play (and beat) Today'smidstakes? Say zoom 500, shouln't this be a competitive challange for him to pursue?

I mean anyone with a brain knows he can beat those games I don't see why he would have to go about doing another challenge when people already talked him into a pointless waste of time micro challenge which he is still in the middle of ( apparently potentially starting again soon)

I think the best content is for sure when he is in canada streaming high stakes mtts / hopping in mid/high cash games , which is coming back during Scoop.

Accepting micro stakes challenge was ******ed in every possible way. My point is, best way for him to promote his brand is to show his own skills at the table. Being an egomaniac , it would seem logical for him to want to play everyone and snap accept any high stakes challenge anyone throws at him.

Let me ask you something, do you respect Doug or Isildur more? Obviously Doug fan boy, so no need to answer this, but you get my point, maybe.

So, as you are not a prospective customer, why should anyone bother to write a review for you ? Who cares what you "want" or whether you are well-informed ?

Curious, how much would you pay for the information you seek, even if you are not in the market for the product?

Perhaps I'm a bit biased having known Doug since 07 but I don't respect Isil, at all. He's a degenerate. Isil is the antithesis of what makes a successful poker player. Doug's responsible and I respect that.

another thing that makes you better at playing MTTs is studying MTTs. I would definitely recommend that.

It's you who missed the point. A business its own review page is not supposed to be a source of objective feedback. It's a marketing tool that creates value for both the company and prospective customers. Prospective customers should also use other sources before becoming a client if they have doubts.

Anyone who expects to find 100% balanced and objective feedback there has the wrong expectations. As long as Doug didn't write the feedback listed there himself there's nothing wrong with him cherrypicking from the feedback he has gotten. I'm certain companies writing reviews themselves is fairly common as well, though that is clearly wrong.

You can't expect a company to highlight its own shortcomings on its own website. As long as they are not lying or being dishonest about their product there is nothing wrong with them highlighting satisfied customers.

Companies can chose to do either. And by not being objective and transparent about the products ups and downs, is why you can only take these cherry picked reviews with a pinch of salt. Which was the point I was making.
