The Brunson father-and-son tandem has launched an all-new online training course valued at $149.
Of course, there are plenty of online poker courses available, but only a few of them have the impressive poker background that the Brunsons have. The price isn't as expensive as one would expect considering the caliber of the people behind it, and the great thing about this course is that players wil[...] Read more » Doyle Brunson teams up with son Todd on New Poker Training Course
Hopefully this venture will last longer than his online poker company. I mean paying 150 bucks to get coached is sounds fun but neither of them actually plays online and live poker is a bit more than just playing out situations from flashingcards or raising according to a chart.

I can imagine that this will be a really popular venture and i can see a lot of people taking up this offer. Just to say that you have had a lesson off Doyle would justify paying the fee

Yeah, definitely I ( or we ?) need discuss poker hand we play. Coaching from expert like them should be useful. But online coaching, could we believe they will give coaching personally? or their staff. written or live talk ?

Of course it is super fun to have coaching from brunson, not maybe his son who i dont thini is a very good poker player. But i always read and think it is something wrong when people say that they strategy work and can maoe money and they not make money to themselves but sell the strategy
it seems to me that this poker training course will be successful for people ..... 149 dollars is just a little money .... but to learn something is very cool and popular player is quite an interesting proposal .... and even his son ... About his son did not hear until this moment but maybe he's also cool

It wasnt long ago, when er read that doyle brunson will quit playing poker tournaments, and now this. Apparently he is addicted with the game, and cant do anything else, that doesnt include poker related things. From playing to teaching...

Well $ 149 is not little money for me and for what little I've seen, Doyle Brunson don´t like me as a poker player. I see him in the poker star tv show a few times and, in a table with Negrenau and others popes, Brunson was an ABC player. He only put money in the table and won with some AK, but his move was too evident so nobody called his raise.

well I have to admit that I am very skeptical of such so called courses which will make a total dork into a profitable poker player ready to crush any opponent just for a mere 149$ investment... kinda sounds lie a total bullsh1t to be honest

With so many videos and online books out there about poker, how to play and stuff, i find the training courses a waste also, at least when they are paid ones You may need a little more work by yourself, but it will get you there.

Yes pochui and Mober, I think like you. The only way to make changes in our playing is a big personal commited with learn about it. There are a lot of information, that includes some tips for methodize our learning. If I would have these commitment, the only thing that I could need maybe some coaching sesion.

Oh it cannot be bullsh#t since Doyle's name in it, right? It cannot be that he's owing the IRS some money and need a quick cashgrab, right? After all Doyle learned to play poker on this level from flashcards and bettingcharts as well sixty years ago, right?

It's a joy to hear as Doyle Brunson and his son Todd Brunson will sell at a very good price lessons about the texas holdem poker game. Those who will buy will learn much better and these professional poker players will earn some extra money. The old man refused a fabulous offer to sell his poker room and in this way can win something but not so much of course.

I don´t know CALICUL..do you like how they are playing? I don´t like it. I asume that I only know them trought the tv show of Poker Stars and the comparaision with Negregau is too much, but I still preffer another kind of player. I going to look for some new information about their player´s lifes, and then I´ll return here...

Any professional player who teaches strategy lessons can teach you to make money from poker. This Doyle Brunson has a very good mind at his age and i'm sure his lessons are good to play live and make some money. Online is different and for that exista some free Internet lessons. If you really want to learn lessons about online poker you must to search and to read and after that to buy a few lessons with real money to see and understand how poker is playing. Good Luck for big money my friend.

You may get lessons or read books, but that doesnt me you will be successful, at paying poker, making tons of money. If that was the case every would make money out of it. More have failed than the ones succeeded with it
I believe practice and lots of hours playing is what can make you a good poker player....

Yes like many people in this forum for example mober, bowie, pochui say that it is not good to pay money to this course and think you are good poker player. I think you need to play many hands and of course read a lot and watch videos, but free information is good

I believe in coaching don't get me wrong but coaching should be about fixing the holes in your game not learning how to thrive in somebody else's system...

If you learn strategy lessons and watch some videos you can make money easy, but not big money of course. 100 or 200 dolllars you will earn more easily, than you did before, provided you learned some of those lessons. Is you can not learn anything is bad, but if you learn, then you can play cash games and you will have satisfactions for sure. You can not learn poker well, if you play without learning strategy, because that's what i do, and poker did not bring me much satisfaction. I have to watch some videos and strategy if i want to make more money.

Yes bowie, that it is! In some moment of our learning process, when we did make a profill of playing where we feel comfortable, that a coaching make a good difference analysing your playing stage by stage for fix our holes. And CALICUL, you need to feel some raport with your master, if not the learning couldn´t be done

The truth is that these games have had a special charm in the past. I refer to Texas holdem poker. Now it's changed and no longer the pleasure of playing as i did it a few years ago. Games with blinds under 8 minutes they are also guilty. I like the blinds at 10 minutes but only in pokerstars but i quit playing there ( no confidence ). Now i play poker with small blinds and it's not so good for me. It is not easy to make a stack under these conditions. Damn
