lol @ poker for dummies video
Anyone downl.. errr.. buy this yet? lol.. What a piece of junk. I think if you showed the video to anyone who knew nothing about poker they would be more confused than not watching the video.
Love the explanation of hand rankings.. no high card ranking? What about using an ace for the wheel or broadway straight? nope, not according to them.
And the omaha explanation at the end is mint, you think you might want to start off with the fact you get dealt 4 cards instead of 2.
And the 5 card draw hands at the end are quite nice as well.

The producers gave me a copy of 'Poker for Dummies' just to show me what our 'competition' is doing. I watched 20 minutes of it, and deduced that one thing they are doing well is spending money. Unfortunately, not on the script. I too thought it was weird that there was no 'high card' in the hand rankings, and that they didn't mention the ace in the wheel. Overall, a useless DVD for just about anyone, and I'm not just saying that.
In my opinion, their biggest mistake was trying to cover too much. Pick one game, and talk about that... making a one-hour DVD about 'poker' and expecting people to get anything out of it is impossibly ambitious.

... and I hear it includes a kick-ass poker quiz, too.
my friend bought it for like 5 bucks, and it was questionable if it was even worth that much.
