Slightly Better than his "Online Secrets" which is abs. crap

"I own two of Hellmuth's DVD's... This one and his Online Secrets... Online secrets was absolute crap and a waste of money summed up by someone telling you to hold 'phil's top 10 hands' while he sits back n counts the money he makes for sales of the DVD. Thank Phil ; ) ..
Anyways this one was slightly better.. Some useful information between the lapses of filler time used to make the DVD longer.. I haven't seen either of these in awhile because I never bothered to watch them again.. Instead I found some more useful Sklansky DVD's, but prefer just reading and noting useful information...
Recently I left my job to play poker full time.. I'd recommend Sklansky books... Hellmuth's book is pretty good also.. much better than his DVD's at least.."
Warning: Incorrectly Packaged. You might get Online Secrets

"I have purchased this DVD three times: twice from amazon and once from best buy. All three have been incorrectly packaged. It is the Online Secrets DVD incorrectly packaged as the Tournament Strategies DVD. This is a product flaw that you can not be aware of without opening the packaging and playing the DVD. Amazon has been good enough to accept both of my returns, even though they state that they don't accept opened DVDs. It's like buying Bambi and you put it in the player and discover its Debbie Does Dallas."
The biggest waste of money on Amazon

"There is no information on this DVD whatsoever. Save your Money. I cannot believe it is called Tournament Strategies?
The only mention of tournaments is that "in tournaments you get to play 9 handed, 8 handed, 7handed, 6 handed etc....."
That is it."
GREAT FOR TOURNAMENT PLAY!

"As many of you know, Tournament poker differs from the regular home games and cash games that people usually play. Because of the boom in popularity I started to notice a lot of tournaments popping up all over the place and I wanted to play in as many as I could. I watched this DVD and I learned a trmendous amount! Phil gives you overall theories as well as specific tips that will get you to the final table. And there is even a specific section on how to play the final table! Since watching this DVD I've won two tournaments and made thousands! I always knew Phil Hellmuth was a great poker player but who knew he was such a great teacher!!"
