Don’t Waste Your Money,
Wow … Does the first reviewer actually play poker ??? I can’t believe I spent money on this DVD … First off, the quality of the video itself is basically the same as if you recorded it on a camcorder and ported it to DVD … Terrible lighting, cheesy characters, backgrounds and music, and sound like what you get when you’re recording those high school sports shows on local access cable channels …
Getting beyond the low quality of the video, the content is brief, introductory (at best) and easily found within 5 minutes on the internet …
Nope, I cannot believe I spent $14 on this video … The Binion’s have been important in the poker world, but this video is a complete waste of time and money … Beware if you buy it, you WILL be dissappointed …
Layne, Layne, Layne, I can’t believe you put your likeness to this project … And, please, you may have won back-to-back WSOP tournies, but please don’t make back-to-back DVDs this bad …

|BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD, oh and did I mention BAD!,
My wife got me this for father’s day. I was excited to see a video featuring Layne Flack, who is one of those poker players that you would love to get a glimpse of how he plays, and how he would approach a situation.
I was very disappointed in the quality, first off. It was super cheezy. Layne’s (and Binion boy’s) scripted lines were horrendous. I have seen better acting in a 8th grade play then in this video. The tips were very basic. Nothing mind blowing.
The ‘bulleted’ overlay written on the screen, sorry I don’t know the technical term for this, but these looked like they were straight out of a PowerPoint 97 presentation. They would wait until the sequence would be done, then reinforce the ‘points’ in a screen afterward.
Overall, I was very disappointed and felt truly bad for Layne for being in this video. I hope he doesn’t take alot of “Flack” for this, because I’m sure it’s not his fault, as I’ve seen him doing interviews before that are quite natural and comfortable.
