Release Schedule:
No Set Schedule but 5 videos are released each week.
LeggoPoker is very biased towards NL Holdem 6 max videos and is lacking in just about every area. The upside is that they have secure enough good pros that they are able to produce 5 new videos a week which will help them catch the big sites but they are not there as of yet. We feel they are missing a large part of the market by not offering more variety to their members.

Pros
8/10
NLHE - No-Limit Hold 'Em
6 Max (56)
Aejones, Mynameizgreg, Bobbofitos
This is where LeggoPoker adds value with their site. The pros that teach here beat the mid-stakes games and can teach up and comers their stategies to move up.
Full Ring (1)
This area has been neglected and we do not see a fix in the short term.
HeadsUp (12)
Apathy
Apathy is a great addition to the Leggo lineup and will be producing some high quality videos.
LHE - Limit Hold 'Em
6 max (0)
The Limit videos are a no where to be found on LeggoPoker.
Multi Table Tournaments (MTT)
6/10
High Stakes Pros: Clayton, LuckyChewy
LeggoPoker has two well established MTT specialists at their disposal but they are lacking quantity. LuckyChewy's videos featur him multi-tabling a few MTT's and it follows a progression through 3 parts till he ultimately wins one of the tournaments. Its a great way to follow the progression throughout different stages of a tournament. It's just too bad Leggo Poker has not produced more MTT videos.
Sit and Go's (SNG)
N/A
Other Games (Stud, Omaha, Razz, etc.)
5/10
LeggoPoker has decided to focus on the more popular game of NLHE 6-max and uses their resources towards producing those. There is now 8 PL Omaha videos as Leggo has looked into growing this section of their training program.
Weaknesses
The biggest weakness LeggoPoker has at this point is lack of a video library. They are up and comers but it does take a variety of videos to make the consumers happy at the end of the day. Their focus is mostly on only 6 max NLHE is leaving out a huge segment of the market in our opinion. PTG also feels that the level of professionalism that some players exhibit is seriously lacking. We are all adults but we ca so without the swearing and other none sensical comments that do not add anything to the videos. We feel like this distracted from the whole LeggoPoker experience and should be addressed.
Strengths
PTG was really happy with the level of analysis jam packed into most training videos. We felt that the use of the pause button and overlaying the analysis after the session was over really allowed the coaches to hammer home the points they needed to get across. Other video sites often get cut off by another hand from their analysis of a past hand. LeggoPoker is very innovative and we felt strongly that they have more analysis in each video because of this.
Expected Value: Is LeggoPoker worth it?
LeggoPoker is difinatily worth it if your a 6-max NLHE player but thats about it at this point. I think they have very in depth analysis on every video and the talk you through their exact thought process every hand. There is a ton of value there in thought process alone. We don't think LeggoPoker is worth it yet for any other game from Limit to MTTs and SNGs as they just don't try to go after this market. Our overall rating below is based on if your a NLHE player looking for a training site is not an average. Leggo Poker members are also eligible for $25 off of the purchase of Hold'em Manager, making it only $55!

One of the best parts of the site is that each video has a discussion thread where hands and concepts that come up can be analyzed in more detail. So much value right there.
Video and audio quality are top notch.
For 6max cash games they've set the standard.
I also think the "lack of professionalism" of some instructors isn't a problem and is a humorous and refreshing break. Definitely doesn't take away from the content or quality imo. Sanitized versions are also available on request.

People go to university so that they can be better educated and have a chance to work in certain fields. Leggo works the same, you invest money in your poker education so that you can have a chance to truly develop your game and move up the stakes. I signed up recently and already my BB/hour has increased tremendously, good education is essential and Leggo pays for itself in no time!
