Hello , recently i bought a monthly subscription on some training sites , mostly it was out of curiousity , i think i already knew a ton of stuff about poker so most of the content isnt new to me but still well its good to see some things in practise , also i learn one or two things but despite that i think my investment wasnt really the best , it was about 30$ and i think i could give those on a more helpfull books , its also a problem that i dont understand english when i hear them so much compared to when i read them so i can process information much easier with a book rather than a video.


Nevertheless i want to make as much as i can out of these 30$ during my monthy subscription.

From my experience so far , there are some videos who touch some concepts but most of them and particulary the most interesting ones for me are those reviews or sessions who mostly are boring but you can see some interesting hands in action and thats nice.

The problem so far with videos is that if you want to find a quick answer on a subject , lets say for example *double barreling on 3-bet pots* , its not an
easy thing to do and you have to jump through a lot of useless information to get to it and thats why i prefer books much more. I think after a video or two i get sleepy because im not really interested on all the useless stuff that i already know.

Anyway Im curious about those of you who use training sites and videos as your primary tool for learning , how many videos do you see per day? how are you going about it? do you pick a coach who you like and see all his material and then ignore it? what would you advice me to do now that i already gave those 30$? you know im in a mood that well most of them dont help me very much but im gonna waste x time to see some of them just to make use of the sites somehow , i want to see how much time is just enough
to waste on those sites just to see sessions or reviews.

Can you download and save these videos.Just pick out the most interesting and view them at your leisure when the month ends.
Videos are great for seeing in action what you have read.
There are quite a few free ones if you look hard enough and plenty on youtube.

I watch Sky Poker live tv which is good to just have on in the background sometimes. They play cash games and analyze hands as well.

Hi im a really new player (2NL) and I never watched a single video. Im reading the Harrington books for a start. Can Skypoker and such really compete with those high educational pieces ?

It depends on what kind of poker that you want training for. I like RunItOnce for online poker in general, but CrushLivePoker is very good for live poker.

As far as how much video watching that you do, I think that watching videos for 3-5 hours a week works well.

I watch the channel PROPOKER. PROPOKER - is information about poker as a game , as a way of life as a spectacle. Very good channel

I've said it before and i'll say it again....

Playing is most important.

Videos can help, but you need to understand only X amount of info is going to click with you a day, week, month, and much of it will be over the head of someone who hasn't put in the hours playing.

I find PokerSyars on PSO is very good. Once a week watching videos is a good start to begin with then move up to 2 or three times a week.

Spare time I will play, if I can't play at those times i'm normally watching a video or analysing peoples hands. And when i'm at work i'm daydreaming and tearing apart a troublesome hand I had... What could I have done better to turn the outcome? Was there anything? ... Just pick hands and just think about everything while working lol. Can't help it I just breathe poker.

I watch one a day on youtube, just to keep everything fresh. Some of the videos I've seen a few times but it's pretty good quality and it's always best to be reminded of the basics.

for me, watching the video's is waste of time, same stuff over and over, beside special hand once in a long time

I watch videos mostly for entertainment, I do pick up some information from them. But most of the knowledge I learn is from books.
