Video Variety

NL Holdem:
345 videos
Limit Holdem:
0 Videos
Tournaments:
29 Videos
Sit-N-Go: 0 Videos
Presentation: 15 Videos
Omaha: 24 Videos
Razz: 0 Videos
Stud: 1 Video
Release Schedule: No Set Schedule but 5 videos are released each week and stay pretty consistent.

Notes:
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.

Cash Games

NLHE - 6 Max
Pro: Aejones, Mynameizgreg, Bobbofitos

Notes
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.

NLHE - Full Ring
Pro:

Notes:
This area has been neglected and we do not see a fix in the short term.

NLHE - Headsup
Pro: Apathy

Notes:
Apathy is a great addition to the Leggo lineup and will be producing some high quality videos.

LHE - Full Ring
Pro:

Notes:
The Limit videos are a no where to be found on LeggoPoker.

Rating:

Multi Table Tournaments (MTT)

Pro: Clayton, LuckyChewy

Notes:
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.

Rating:

Sit-N-Go's (SNG)

Pro: NA

Notes:
No Sitngos at Leggo Poker at this moment

Rating:

Other Games (Stud Omaha, Razz, etc)

Notes:
LeggoPoker has decided to focus on the more popular game of NLHE 6-max and uses their resources towards producing those. There is now 24 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 Leggo Poker worth it?

LeggoPoker is definatly 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!

Overall Rating: 7.5/10
