What our customer's say!

"Not worth the money.", The fact that there was only 7 reviews for this video was a "tell" that these glowing reviews were all written by Phil's friends. Unfortunately, just like lots of times when I'm playing poker, I spotted the tell but refused to believe it. As a result, I made a $20 loose call and bought this video.
It's not a bad little video, but it's just not worth $20. It gives you a few reminders of things to do and not to do at a final table but there's nothing new or special that you will get out of it. In all fairness, 100 minutes is not enough time for a video to go into a lot of detail. Considering the fact that it is only 100 minutes long, it does a fair job of summarizing final table strategy. But it is only that - a summary. Personally, I think it is worth about $5 and that would be top dollar. For my money, nothing comes close to Harrington's books on tournament strategy. However, if you're too lazy to read a book and you only want a few tips on final table play, then this video is probably what you're looking for.

"The Best Educational Poker DVD Available!", This really is a fantastic DVD for both seasoned Hold Em players and those new to the game. Among the piles and piles of dull, boring, and uninformative poker DVDs this video is leaps and bounds above the competition and here's why:

+ The production value is top notch. It's a simulated final table similar to what you'd see watching the WPT or WSOP on TV, so you really feel like you're just watching poker on TV and it's quite entertaining.
+ Phil Gordon is an exceptional instructor. His commentary throughout the video is very clear and easy to understand while at the same time being very detailed, in-depth, and accurate. He also has a great sense of humor and make the learning experience a fun one.
+ The video offers two viewing modes: commentary for beginners, which explains the play of the game along with strategy, and truly is great for beginners; and commentary for advanced players, which skips the boring gameplay explanations that we already know and gets right to the strategy aspects that we bought it for. It's very well organized.
+ The advanced commentary, while not really introducing new concepts, is still a great refresher for a seasoned player. It's a great way to rethink your game, and solidify some of the basic concepts of playing great poker.
+ If you're just a casual player looking to improve your home game performance this is exactly what you need. The "final table" format is basically exactly how your average home game is set up.

Now there isn't much negative to say about this video, but here are some minor gripes:

- If you're familiar with Phil Gordon's books and teachings then this video can feel a little like a dull review. He basically goes over everything that he details in his books.
- This is a SIMULATED final table, that is, all the hands are scripted with the purpose of teaching a specific lesson, or making a specific point. (I really would've loved to hear some of Phil Gordon's commentary from an actual live event, like his WPT 1st place finish at Bay 101.) The scripted format works for this video, but real poker situations aren't always quite as "textbook" as they appear in the video.


"Final Table Poker with Phil Gordon", This video bring home concepts more directly than many book or other video presentations. The sound track gives you Phil's thoughts and analysis of each hand as it is happening and presents every concept in clear understandable manner. I have watched this video several times and gained new understanding with each viewing. It is clear that each viewing is worth the time. You guys probably do not want to have this video as I might see you across the table some day.

"Excelent, but acting...", This is a great video for those who want to share a world class player thoughts during a final table. I was disapointed only because this final table was an acting one, not a real one. I rate it 5 star because I haven't found any other video like this... Phil Gordon is one of the best world class players!

"High class!", There's a lot of poker tournament experience, some of it bitter, behind the hands and the commentary on this DVD. Gordon basically mocks up a big-money final table, with Chris Ferguson and some lesser-known players, and talks us through every decision of the final table. There's a refresher on calculating outs and card odds, pot odds, and implied odds (the only surprise being the omission of Implied Tilt Odds, but the concept is touched on), and during the course of the commentary Phil goes far beyond those basics, talking about how to develop an understanding of your opponents, who to attack and who to retreat from, and so on.

The job of each of the player-actors in this video is to enact a certain stereotype. There's a strong (and beautiful) woman player, who wins at least one huge pot because her male opponent underestimated her (think Jennifer Harman or Annie Duke); a brash "Internet Pro"; a super-aggressive ego player; a very cagey Black player (not unlike Paul Darden); and of course, Chris Ferguson, who gives a very good imitation of himself. A couple of the players are a bit too far into their stereotypes, but not quite to the point of provoking unintended laughter (of course, your mileage may vary on that).

As the action progresses, we see Phil's hole cards, but not the other players'. Phil talks his way through an assessment of each hand, including the ones he doesn't play. Strategic points are illustrated throughout; for one example, he calls attention at one point to the fact that the hand with which he is raising is the same as one he folded not long before, because of position and the action coming to him.

This is a very enjoyable learning tool which will repay its cost many times over. I plan to review this DVD frequently.

As I watch it again and again, perhaps I will learn to ignore the circling lights on the table. Why anyone would do that is beyond me; if I sat down at the featured table in a big-money tournament and they lit off a disco ball overhead, I'd find a heavy object and smash it.

Some of the Full Tilt poker ads are included, and since these are some of the cleverest, funniest ads ever made, I don't object one bit. I need to check the scene selection menu to see if I can jump directly to the Jesus "72 Bluff" ad when I need a laugh.
