I took one lesson from the owner HerschelW. He is more of a cash game player and I decided to try it out. I am more of an mtt player so I didnt continue with him. However he was very professional and ran a good site. He will let go of coachese if they are not holding up their end of the bargain. I would try to figure out which one suits your style the best. Good luck

I have a CR membership and I'am looking to try out BFR just for one month. But is there anyway to reduce the hefty signup fee? Doesn't make sense to pay the signup fee if iam stayin there for 1month.

Hello

I am looking for a new training site not cardrunners.

I play $2/4-5/10 shallow stack, (CAP) 6max.

Well I read this thread again and I have a question which I am not sure has been answered.

Can Blue Videos be downloaded to an Ipod/Iphone?

If so do you need to use a converter software?

I believe often that is the point of the sign up fee.

It's a way of reducing costs for consistent members, while still properly charging 1 month "download it all then take off for awhile" members.

If you could get all of their videos for a one time payment of X, and regular members also had to pay X, then they would lack the incentive to resubscribe constantly once there is a large video library.

So say a site has 500 videos. They are only going to release up to say 30 videos in the next month. Assuming their quality is consistently good, you could get 500 videos in one month for that X price, so why would you consider paying X again for another 30 next month? You'd probably wait at least a month or two to resubscribe.

There are other ways to look at it too and other factors at play, but the sign up fees or increased costs for month 1 (or decreased for multiple months) does make sense, particularly for sites with large libraries of videos that are of similar quality.

I want to join one training site. I've skimmed the thread, but for my particular needs, which site do you recommend?
I would break down what I play as follows:
50% live NL Holdem tourneys (mostly full ring, usually $300-$1500 buyin)
25% live NL Holdem cash (full ring, mostly $2/$5, some $5/$10)
20% online NL Holdem MTT (Sun million type tourneys, satellites to bigger events)
5% online multi-table SNG's
--But I also want a site with good PLO cash/tourney videos, and with solid Heads up NL cash videos, since I want to start learning those, too. Ideally, a site that has quality videos for all sorts of mid-stakes games would be best. Primarily, but not exclusively, tourneys. Thanks.

Yo, anyone know if there is any training sites that you can download the videos and watch them later when u got no internet connection.
I have some pretty long flights and would like to watch some vids then.

Sitngogrinders has videos u can download to an ipod

Deuces Cracked and Bluefire anyway

Tournament Poker Edge as well....if MTTs are your thing.

--I should say after some preliminary research, I'm leaning on choosing one of the following three: Cardrunners, Deuces Cracked, or Poker X Factor.

Even with sites that do use copyright protection it's still possible to watch videos with no internet connection.

Just download the videos you want to watch while on your trip and input your user name and password while connected to the internet. You should be able to watch the videos for a week or two before having to reenter your info.

This is good to know!

Anyone know if Bluefire Videos be downloaded to an Ipod/Iphone?

If so do you need to use a converter software?

BF videos are DRM free but you need to convert is yourself with a converter software, yes.

Thanks for the response.

Are you a member? The forum is a ghost town as I have a free account. Are you happy with the video's?

I used to be a paid member there, purchased 6 month subscription and I liked it. I'm no longer a paid member there since I don't watch videos that often anymore but I think their videos were of high standard.

Thanks for the info.

Kind of going along with the ipod questions, are DC videos able to be watched on a Motorola Droid?

Not sure what format that uses, but you are welcome to convert them. We do not use DRM at DC, so you can do what you want with your videos as DRM punishes customers.

Anyone familiar with Nick Raineys Rainmanpoker.net? Is it always sold out to join?
If anyone is or has been a member tell me how it was.

there was a thread about it being super sketch

I'd do a search here

what is the best site if you do play $400 6max?

CR is the best site
DC is the second best site
BFP is the third best site

yes in that order for 400$ max, when you move up to 1k$ max, order might change

I have CR now I get it free because I play at FTP but I think it sucks.

I dont feel like watching videos from guys that are breaking even players is CR really the best site for NLH $400 6max players?
