is it all nlhe? mostly tourneys right?
what sort of vids are DN posting?
how many videos are available on signup?
how are the boosted vids?

[savagerebel]

It is all good.

[Tugglife2]

There's a lot of content(videos). So far I've taken a look at Daniel's Custom Course on Hold'em which is highlighted by DN's poker system for beginners as well as his course for intermediate/advanced players(small ball). The site is very easy to navigate.

We've done an initial review here

PokerVT Review

[FCP Bob]

There are 4 sample videos up now.

They are in the Training Features Section

1. A Video that's part of Daniel's course on playing Small Ball

2. A Video from the live game with Daniel's analysis that contains an Al Smooth sighting. This is the most unique format at Poker VT

3. A Video from Adam Juglen final tabling an online tournament

4. A Poker Math video from Professor Charley Swayne

Not quite a review....more of an opinion.

Initially was willing to make an impulse purchase just for the heck of it. Amex wasn't available so I had to wait.

After seeing the intro videos and Daniel playing in Costa Rica during the roll out..... I have decided to wait and see what happens. I'm concerned about:

The initial sign-up fee
Commitment to the site
Reasons for paying a monthly fee and a steep re-signup fee.
Will there be monthly additions that justify the rates

I dunno...... it makes me wonder when Daniel is launching a Major Pay Site with his name and face all over it and then says......"I'll be writing a separate blog about PokerVT."

To Daniel: When you get around to paying the time and commitment that you ask from me, perhaps I'll pay some money and attention.

I'm surprised that you've taken Daniel's statement about writing a separate blog about Poker VT the way that you have. He's in Costa Rica and just played a tourney and a cash game online so he put out a blog about his tournament result right after he finished like he usually does. Poker VT deserves a separate blog and it doesn't make sense to put out one blog a very short time after another.

As for his commitment to it Daniel has been working on Poker VT for the better part of a year and will continue to put a lot of time and effort into it. A training site isn't something that is finished being worked on when it launches but in fact the launch is only the start.

Bob,

I am sorry that you are surprised. You are an outstanding individual and one hell of a moderator. You have performed above and beyond the call of duty. Hell.... you bailed me out when I didn't have the cash to cover some stakes I'd promised.

My name is unknown, but I have been involved and responsible for some rather serious roll-outs myself. And at no time during any of said roll-outs would I have not been on the front lines.... watching everything and trying my best to ensure a good launch. I remember when the FCP poker site launched..... Daniel was there.... answering questions...... watching and being involved.

If I were a celebrity (which I NEVER want to be) I would make at least twice the effort to ensure that anything with my name attached to it performed as well as possible.

I don't know Daniel.... never met him. But I like him. He seems like a decent person from what I have seen and read.

Perhaps Daniel is spreading himself a little too thin.

Bob...... you are DA MAN!

You ask a question, here is your answer, hope it makes sense:

I had a window to write a blog about PokerVT but in light of a few issues with the N-SPAT (taken care of) and the sample videos not being up yet, I felt it would be better to wait for the sample videos to be available before directing people to the site via my blog. When the sample videos were finally up, I had other things to share and didn't want the long span between blogs to be about something "I'm selling" if you will. I also didn't want the blog about PokerVT to split time with other stuff. I want to make sure I get the blog right and explain in detail what's cool about PokerVT. All of the features, as well as the technology which I think even the competitors would agree is far, far superior to anything else out there at the moment.

Make sense?

As for me working. On the 27th and 28th I am scheduled to appear on 24 radio shows starting as early as 5:00am. Content is something that I'll be updating personally 2-3 times a week with new videos, Q and A's, as well as adding classic hands to the site.

[Loismustdie]

DN works hard. I was witness to it at Protege 1, and he takes pride in what he does- I expect this VT thing to be as good as it gets. I won't be signing up off the bat, like any new Porn site I personally wait awhile so they get enough content under the belt, then I am in like flynn.

See you in Vegas. After golf on friday we will try and track you down and rail for a bit. Good luck in that tourney as well.

[grocery_mony]

Got it on day 1 and have had about 2.5 hours to watch some videos. I have not seen any of Daniels content yet so I cant comment on that. I got Pokervt for improving all my games but right now I need to get better at NLH cash games so thats what I have been concentrating on. I have watched Boosted J's .25/50 NL videos and about half of JC's all the tools series. I know its not much to go on as of yet but I much perfers JC's videos. I think JC is better at explaining why he is doing what he is doing than boosted. I would like to see some more cash game videos with a TAG style but with the same kind of explanation as JC gives in his. Thats what I want to see in a video is the player not just explaining the hand but the hand in the context of the overall game. So far from what I have seen the site is very smooth and easy to use so if the content is there it should be outstanding.

[Potomophobia]

Thank you Daniel.

You have answered my question perfectly.

I've waited so long for PokerVT, not signing up for any other site to even check them out so my opinion is certainly biased. I LOVE IT!!!! My plans are to start at the beginner level and look for leaks in my game (already found a few!) and continue to work my way forward. I'm up to "Short Stack Play" at the beginner level but I've also took some time out to check out the other videos. Here's the comments......

Daniel's explainations are so simple a fifth grader could get it! Excellent job!

Watched two of JC's videos and I enjoyed AND understood his explainations. Great job!

Adam.....probably good content but the chewing gum was so distracting that it was all I could focus on. Sorry Adam, lose the gum!

That's all so far BUT...........I took what I had learned, sat down at only my second live tourney last night. Made the final table out of 30+ very experienced live players and finished 4th!!!! I'M SOLD!!!!!!

Check out the live video stuff in daniel's section. With Kirk and Paul and Al... it's fun to watch.

Awesome man, very happy to know you enjoy the site. Means a lot to me, since myself and the tech guys at pokerVT have been working our butts off to get this launched. Keep us all updated on your progress...

Oops, that man is a woman.

[Naismith]

I love the hand analysis section where the players discuss the hands as they're playing them and Daniel analyzes them as well.

Of course, I'm such a huge Wasicka fan, I'm a little biased, but I think having him and Kirk talking about their decisions as well as Daniel is huge and will be a great tool for live players.

I'm crushed.........just crushed. And now I can't remember how to link back to the gorgeous picture I posted of me and you in Vegas at the WPT.

And Matthew in Support is top of the line!
