DVD Recommendation: Phil Hellmuth Million Dollar Online Poker Secrets
If you’ve entered the poker world within the past 2-3 years, chances are your playing way more of your poker online than in a actual casino. While online gambling used to be widely viewed as dark and seedy as playing in an old style Vegas casino. Now with sites like PartyPoker boasting tens of thousands of players online at any given point in the day, it’s now one of the fastest growing trends in America.
Personally, I make around 50-70% more money playing online then I do in a brick and motor casino. The players are less experienced, you can play more hands an hour, you can play multiple tables at once, keep online notes, not to mention the comfort level of playing from the safety of your couch or computer desk at home inside of sitting in a $5 chair for 8 hours or more. If you want to be able to contend with many of the new players out there today, you need to put in some serious online time, but without the proper tools and tips, you’ll lose money faster than ever for the reasons that you can make more than ever.
Utilizing the same great visual aids as his other works, Hellmuth was one of the first pro’s to release a video that deals specifically with playing online poker, and still true to this date, he is the most successful online player to do so. Some of the topics he covers includes:
• Online pot odds
• Playing multiple games at once
• Winning online cash games and tournaments
Some of the most useful tips I pulled from watching the DVD were the different information gaining techniques that you can employ even though you can’t physically see the other players face. Phil teaches you have to exploit the typical lazy nature of online players (It’s a lot easier to call a big bet when all you have to do is press a button, not shove in a stack of real chips), and how to maximize your effectiveness without putting yourself at great risk.
Still, I don’t recommend playing multiple tables at once until you’re consistently winning at a certain limit level, and even then you should drop down one level for each extra table your playing on until your comfortably winning at all of those. Online poker is definitely here to stay, and with more and more newer, less experienced players signing on everyday, even the greenest rookie can be making money by day one with the right information, the kind of info that right now is only available on Million Dollar Online Poker Secrets.
