This DVD is a must for any poker fan. The pros are a pleasure to listen to. In my mind, Daniel Negreanu was the best part. Basically, hearing him speak, regardless of the venue, is a great pleasure. He is one of the few pros who give you the sensation, whenever he speaks, that he is telling you the whole truth. His confidence in his abilities causes him to have no reason to fear fully sharing information with lower functioning players like us. I also got a kick out of Scotty Nguyen because he was warm and friendly which is not how I imagined him to be. As for John Bonnetti, that guy's a hoot. He's completely old school and I bet few people want to go toe to toe with him. Jennifer Harmon repeats some of the same solid advice she gives in Super System II: play fewer hands, and don't experiment with junk. I wish some of the micro-limit jerks who draw out on me would take some notes. You know, I'm a fan of T.J. Cloutier, and, once again, he does not disappoint or cheat the little man because he shares valuable information throughout his interview. He points out that you should not be a 1 bet, "All In!" guy. The good player manipulates and squeezes money out of his opponents throughout, and sets up situations where he can get some calls.
With all of the expertise and wonderful insight, the DVD deserves five stars, but I have to detract one due to the program host. She's absolutely worthless, and will not shut the heck up. Frankly, I found her to be an utter fool. Apparently, she considers herself the equal of these players and will not keep her mouth or agenda out of the interviews. She is obsessed with finding a way to get more women into poker. Oh, this tremendous stupidity and the constant, "Women can do it!" garbage becomes painful as she insists on wasting everyone's time with it.
I'm going to explain why there aren't more female poker players overall, and I hope she reads my explanation so she can learn something. Men, on the aggregate, are more thrill-seeking than women. This is true in regards to sex, drugs, or gambling. Men are always found in the more dangerous and risky professions, no matter of what society you reference. Males are also far more competitive, on average, than are women. These are global differences. There's no question that some outliers like Jennifer Harmon are every bit as good as any man, but, due to poker appealing more uniquely to the male character traits, those involved in the endeavor will be predominantly male. If the narrator of the DVD continues to doubt this, she should check on the gender of those who purchase Poker Secrets of the Champs.
