Poker Academy - dvd that teaches you nothing! 15 of 15 Ciao Users found the following review helpful
Rating from lippychic 1 Star ()

Advantages briefly shows you how to play poker

Disadvantages waste of money, only lasts 30mins-45mins!!!

Since 2004, I have been into poker in a big way, I play both on and offline.

I found that by reading books and watching dvds, i could better my game both phsically and mentally...

Thats when I seen poker academy and it sounded really good, so £19.99, I thought why not...

Actors Frank Butcher from Eastenders, Pin up Jacki Degg and few others star playing a game of poker...

I thought by the sound of it that it would've been an educational video, telling you how to bluff etc.

They play a few games of cards, and they get picked up on what they are doing wrong and how they can improve.

I didnt expect much of the DVD, but paying £20 I did expect a bit more, and its fair to say that I dont have high expectations, and was extremly dissapointed.

It was a very boring start to the DVD, but I thought no I'll give it time, and my the time I was thinking what a waste of money the program ended....it only lasted 30-45 mins. It has to be the worst DVD I have ever purchased.

Im sorry there isnt really much to say about the contents of the DVD, it does show the basic things like hands e.g 1 pair,2 pair, 3 of a kind etc but if you want to learn to play poker or just looking for tips - DO NOT BUY THIS DVD, You will learn NOTHING!

    I guess the film makers were bluffing when they said this was good then!!! I think you should take a gamble on somebody on ebay wanting to buy it from you. ;-) Rach x
