Howard Lederer DVD

[greenbuckets]

Received the Secrets of Texas Hold 'em DVD by Howard Lederer for Christmas and watched it a couple of times. This is more for the beginning poker player IMO. I tried playing using his chart for starting hands. If you haven't seen it, it gives about 20 starting hands and what you should do pre-flop with each hand. I was at a 3/6 party poker table and played 100 hands. Based on his chart, I played only 14 hands and did exactly as the chart stated. I won with only 6 of the 14 hands I played. It wasn't a bad return as I started with $150 and left with only $173. Any winning session is good in my mind but I folded many hands I would normally play. The hands I did win were large enough to cover the $9 in blinds I lost each round but not much more. Has anyone else played using strictly the chart he includes? I don't know how long the DVD has been out, but being in Japan, I only recently heard about it.

Been trying to grab it off Kazaa, but no luck. The DVD has been out for over a year.

I have it on my MP3 drive. I'll try making a torrent for you later tonight. Would TP mind if I posted this torrent on here?

PS. Yes I agree it's very basic. I d/led it when I first started p laying, and I felt it helped a bit.

Well, you say any winning session is good in your mind for starters. Second, you say you are throwing away many hands you would normally play. Third, you made money and it was only 100 hands.

Congratulations! It sounds like you may be learning how to play poker. The first step toward becoming a winning player from the ranks of recreational players or novices is learning the starting hands. That's only the start though. Stick around and keep posting your questions.

If it was anything like Hellmuth's 1st DVD then it sucked. Very, very, very basic stuff here...I rented it from my movie store and returned it the next day.

I have watched a few of these dvd's briefly and haven't found much help.
