I started playing poker five years ago in college dorm games with friends. I immediately found Texas Hold'em fascinating and turned to the Internet for easy access to games and strategy advice. I began playing for play chips on Ultimate Bet, turned a freeroll into a bankroll for penny limit games, and never looked back. Early on in my poker career I found the 2+2 books and strategy forums where I have learned everything I know about poker, and made lifelong friends. These days I have my college degree--but play poker in lieu of working. I consider my regular game to be 30/60 online and 100/200 live, but have played as high as 400/800.

Q. Why poker videos? A. When I first wanted to improve at poker, I found the available literature and was able to improve my understanding of poker theory and basic concepts. But poker books are a slow way to learn because you have to interpret a single chapter that may apply to hundreds of unique situations we face in poker every day. By seeing a professional's style of play and hearing the thought processes that govern some common and some not-so-common decisions, I think you can greatly increase your understanding of poker theory and see some concrete examples of how to utilize a concept.
Q. Why make a series? A. When KRANTZ and danzasmack first came to us with the idea for a video series on specific topics, I realized that they had found a way to bridge the gap between learning poker by reading books, and the poker training videos we had already begun producing at DeucesCracked.com. Now you can focus on a specific niche that an entire video series will help you master. If you want to learn to play heads up, you no longer have to read a book about general limit hold'em play and try to apply the concepts to your heads up game, or hope that someone will make a video on your topic of interest. You can find expert advice and training on the area of poker you are most interested, and completely explore the topic over a season of episodes!
