World Poker Exchange has released in the USA a series of four instructional DVDs designed to help leisure and competitive poker players improve their game. The DVDs can be purchased online via World Poker Exchange's Web site.
Developed in conjunction with Players Network, producer of the In the Mind of the Poker Pro instructional series, the DVDs feature strategies, tips and "hands on" coaching from world renown poker pros, including Todd Brunson, a high-limit poker professional who learned from the very best -- his father, the legendary, two-time World Series of Poker Champion, Doyle Brunson; Mike Matusow, an opinionated and controversial World Series of Poker champion; and best-selling author David Sklansky, leading global poker strategy expert.
"In the Mind of the Poker Pro" DVD series gives players real hands, real pros and invaluable advice," said Haden Ware, managing director, World Poker Exchange. "The DVD brings world-class professional poker expertise into the home, enabling players to watch and learn at their own pace while making improvements to the quality and consistency of their game. Working with Players Network to develop these outstanding instructional DVDs reflects our commitment to helping poker fans at every level optimally play poker."
These instructional DVDs incorporates a unique teaching format never before offered in poker tutorials by using 16 video cameras to film the three poker pros as they monitor a live poker game, allowing players to see all the hands along with the audience, and simultaneously discussing the game in real-time. The three experts weigh in with advice and coaching that offers value for experienced players seeking to improve their game. Brande Roderick, actress and Playboy Playmate of the Year, hosts the DVDs.
