"In inventory management they use the term FIFO which is First In First Out. In an attempt to be first to market with the huge poker explosion they rushed this DVD and now the Hellmuth DVD's are mostly getting slammed. This one is a little better than "Million Dollar Poker System". If you have seen the first one you will see they filmed this one at the same time; he is wearing the same shirt and makes references to things discussed in the first one. A point to consider: if you want to get a more accurate feel for how the public really feels about any product look at the sales rankings instead of the reviews good or bad. Any item that's sales ranks are around ten thousand or worse is being judged by the market(not positively). This is one of the "First Outs" among the flood of products being pushed on the public. If you have Netflix or some other rental outlet considering pre-viewing before buying. To Phil's credit there is some good stuff here but he overhypes and oversells leaving you mostly disappointed. If you are fairly new to poker you will definitely find some useful stuff here it is just not advanced or "Million Dollar" advice. Be honest with your assessment of your current level of knowledge; if you are new to intermediate and have not had any exposure to bluffing and tells material you will learn from this DVD."

Virtually worthless

"Unlike Mike Caros' videos, this product merely has Phil Hellmuth speaking for less than an hour about tells and bluffs. There is really no reason for this to be a video; one could have gotten the same info from a 20-25 page book. There are absolutely no actual videos or pictures of players, only some Hellmuth stories. Most of the info is quite elementary. Honestly, I borrowed this from a library, but I would be amazed if anyone would actually pay for this trash, much less find it useful.



DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS!"

Show me the tells

"I have to agree with the harsher reviewers for Hellmuth's products. At least Lederer's DVD's attempt to SHOW the viewer some sample hands meant to demonstrate by example. By contrast this video shows Helmuth seated behind a stack of chips relaying anecdotes with little or no cohesion from which one could learn. For a genuine examination of poker tells and bluffs see Mike Caro's Book of Poker Tells."
