Texas Hold ‘Em Secrets Exposed Under Review

Well, I think I fell in love! …Ok, not really, that would just be weird. But, in my defense, Texas Hold ‘Em Secrets Exposed is the absolute best deal on the web. I didn’t go as far as to give it 5 stars because it doesn’t have everything that Sit-N-Go-Pro has, but for half the price, it has plenty.

Features:

- The best selling eManual “Texas Holdem Secrets: Exposed!”

- 6 Audio CDs (so you can learn how to play poker in the car or at home without having to read hundreds of pages)

- Online training video ($47 value in itself)

- 8 Free Bonus Gifts (totaling over $700 in value)

- The most valuable free bonus gift: One hour phone conversation with a poker consultant!

- 100% Guarantee

The bonuses aren’t all as helpful as I’d like (one of them teaches you how to do chip tricks…which isn’t necessary if you’re only interested in playing online), but the ones that are provide a wealth of poker knowledge that you can’t ignore. This powerful package provides you with beginner and advanced strategies so that you won’t have to look anywhere else after this purchase.

The following exerpt is taken directly from the creator of Texas Hold ‘Em Secrets Exposed himself:

Check/Raise

If you want to see people get pissed off check/raise them. Now not everyone is like that. Actually, it doesn’t bother me one iota.

However, for some it is like playing against the anti-Christ. They can’t stand it. I love doing it because it keeps them guessing. They may get upset and then what happens? They’re not thinking clearly and may place a big bet or go all-in. I love it! I’ve put more people out by check/raising then anything else.

When I’m check/raised it makes me think twice. But I don’t get upset. In fact, it helps me maintain a closer focus on what’s going on.

Quick Tip
Check/Raise if you want to really see fireworks at a table. However, when done right you can take advantage of your opponent’s hostility.

Stealing Pots

When you get a good starting hand like AK or KQ does it ever seem like you can never win these hands due to a poor flop.

Try this…

Let’s say you got KQ. Throw out a large bet, not just a small one that others will call simply to see the flop. That’s not what you want. The majority of the time when placing a large bet here most everyone will fold.

Then comes the flop, 4, 10, 7. This is usually not much help to anyone. So what do you do? Place a huge bet. Why? Because your opponent will put you on a pocket pair while they have nothing. They’ll fold.

There you go. You just stole a pot.

Every once in a while someone will call you or go over the top. Then it is time to reevaluate and move forward cautiously. The bottom line is to maximize your winnings you must be aggressive.

To get the rest, purchase Texas Hold ‘Em Secrets Exposed here!

Sit-N-Go Pro Under Review

As far as teaching tools goes, this one has it all! Sit-N-Go Pro caught my attention when I was out wandering the web primarily due to the fact that I spend most of my time playing sit-n-go’s. For those of you who aren’t sure what a sit-n-go is, it’s basically a small tournament. I’ll post more information on this a bit later, but until then, just know that this is where you’re going to make most of your money online.

Fortunately, I found way more than I was looking for with this product.

Features:

- 200+ page poker strategy book

- Sophisticated poker software

- Poker secrets exposed eBook

- WPT or WSOP DVD

- Instructional poker audio CD

- Free entry into the weekly $250 guaranteed game (best place to test out what you’ve learned at NO cost)

So as you start to read Sit-N-Go Pro’s main page (Sit-N-Go Pro – Main), you’ll start to see all the social proof (testimonials) of how well this product encompasses all types of learners. It has the videos, the audio, the written books…it has it all. The most powerful source of information in Sit-N-Go Pro’s arsenal is the Play-By-Play Instructional Video. This video shows the use of their sophisticated poker software and how you can use it to always have the upper hand during competitive play.

I honestly have to say that the wealth of knowledge and training that this product provides makes it a no-brainer. On top of that, you can download it immediately after buying! No waiting for shipping, or having to leave your house to pick it up from the store.

You can find it at www.SitNGoPro.com … This post is open to comments, please tell us how you liked this product or if you have any questions about the product itself!

Absolute Poker Under Review

Absolute Poker

(Open to United States players)

**200% sign-up bonus up to $500 using the code AP500 when signing up**

Absolute Poker is a medium sized poker room in itself, but in July 2008 it joined forces with UltimateBet in order to increase its player population. With the two combined, Absolute Poker (which has a more poker-friendly interface) has quickly become the top place to play poker online. With the added population came a larger demand for tournaments. AP now holds thousands of tournaments each day, for real money AND freerolls. Any time you’re ready to play, there’s a tournament ready and waiting. The longest I’ve ever had to wait for a tournament (and believe me…I’m anal about these things and I actually timed it) was about 6 minutes. In the poker world, that’s pretty much amazing.

CHAMP’S FAVORITE ASPECT: My favorite thing about AP, is that while the population is still increasing, the low to medium stakes games are extremely easy to clean up. The overall skill level of AP’s newer players is worth taking advantage of!

Side Note: Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet has had a handful of scandalous events take place since the merger.
