"I expected more from a Mike Caro DVD. Any of the poker books out there will give you better information. Considering it is only 40 some minutes - and no one can distill what's there in a good book to a 40 minute DVD. This is a very basic beginner type DVD and even still there is nothing you can learn or apply from watching it. I'd go by one of the books that has been reviewed 4-5 stars here on amazon, rather than get this DVD."

"This a very mediocre dvd. It is very basic and not very strategy oriented. Any of the Howard Lederer dvds are far more interesting and give better strategies. I would not recommend this dvd and think it was a total waste of money. I think it is also sad that the dvd was used as an advertisement for a casino."
Please do not buy this idiotic DVD

"You can tell the guy is smart and a poker great. But he is a marginal communicator. It's quite possible he contradicts himself. His tone of voice is that of a pre-school story reader.
He will speak with GREAT EMPHASIS, and have no idea where the end of his sentence is going. So annoying. I want to slug him.
And he totally cheaped out on production value as well. More poorly produced than the average poker show on TV. No excuse.
Has his poker students helping him in key demonstration scenes, but the help he permits them to provide is minimal."
5 Minutes worth viewing

"Save your $18 and don't add this one to your cart. There is very little substance in this video. Caro provides 10 interesting "poker tells" that are worth viewing but you stop at your local bookstore and spend 5 minutes reading his book on poker tells and get the same info.
The rest of the DVD is very, very basic hold-em strategy that even a novice should know.
Mike may be a genius but he isn't sharing much of his grey matter in this DVD."
Not very good

"Okay the Mad Genius has my utmost respect his pro poker tells video is awesome, but this was designed at teaching ppl to win and just doesnt do it. It does tell u about starting hands and thats it nothing on how to play after the flop. Most ppl think after the flop u either have the best flop and bet or you fold. This is incorrect and this dvd mentions nothing about flopping mid pair draws etc. It has absolutey nothing on post flop and gets a 1-5 fom me"
