Poker Training Sites

I was fiddling around with some poker training sites and trying to see what I could get for free, and what a paid member would enjoy.

The two sites I looked at were LeggoPoker and PokerXfactor. Of course there are sites that use household-names as their professional casino players, but sometimes those players have very little in common with your bankroll and overall poker situation.

While watching some of the LeggoPoker videos, I was able to watch a lot of $.50/$1 NL Texas Holdem. Andrew Lichtenberger, aka RunThisTable or LuckyChewy, now plays $25/50 NL 6-max cash games. But he has a video where he plays the low stakes for first time multi-tablers to try and emulate. Though he has an unmatched bankroll to most of the low stakes players, he doesn’t too often have to dip in for a deep rebuy. Other online poker players on this site, Aejones or Aaron Jones, have videos at slightly higher limits, still well below his bankroll. In a really nonchalant tone he describes the “donk” facing him in a $3/6 NL heads up match. He rebuys up to starting stack any time he dips below, which in the beginning is quite often. He talks through ranges of hands and makes some impressive hero calls and defines the reasons why he made the call.

LeggoPoker overall is a cash-game training site. There are some Multi-table-tournament videos, but for the most part, this site uses great young players as coaches in the cash-game realm. There are no sit and go videos to speak of.
