***Official*** Ask Steve about Online Poker Training Sites thread

I know that Deuces Cracked have video's that you can download. Which other sites offer this ability that run month to month service?

[Steve R]

Most of the sites that have a sign-up fee offer downloads (which is their reasoning behind the sign-up fee): off the top of my head BlueFire, DragtheBar, and DC. FloattheTurn offers downloads with no sign-up fee.

I discovered Poker Zion through Leakbuster. I hadn't really heard of them until i bought it. But after i saw some of the training content in the program i was curious. They have some training courses on their site that are pretty good. i initially signed up for the Roots course which is 24 weeks, and each week you are presented with a new concept and training material. And now have started the Iron Lion course. The material in that one so far is a bit more advanced though. some of it is a bit over my head.

I have no idea how i hadn't heard of it before as i read alot of the blogs, etc But it is another option worth looking at.

I get their E-Mails but they are pretty low on the radar of online training. The main thing is the instructors aren't "name" players; which shouldn't, but does, mean something.

They did put a lot of work into a site overhaul maybe 12-18 months ago, and the programs are interesting and unique. I haven't watched any of their videos however, so I have no idea how they stack-up in terms of quality and content.

Like you said, they seem to have some good ideas. All of the products like Leakbuster, and Ace Poker Drils are pretty cool. And looking through the archives, they have some interactive trainers on the site from a couple years ago. i hadn't seen anything like that until Poker Zion.

i did read about an update for LB with new coaches, training content, so hopefully that will mean they are updating the site as well. and hopefully doing a better job of advertising for it.
