Real Poker Training Review: ratings
Cons
The audio quality is the biggest weakness with the Real Poker training videos. It is unclear and could be as a result of mic feedback. This is one area that needs significant improvement.
The roster also needs some improvement. You also do not get much in terms of playing style, with over 95% of the videos going to the primary instructors. Some of the instructors are no longer participating, while some have come on board. We can only hope for more in the future. Another major shortcoming is that users cannot view the multi-table videos that are too small for clear visibility.
Pros
The video quality is excellent, which is surprising due to the audio quality. The only challenge came up when the developers tried to put more than 1 table in the video. It goes without saying that they had to shelve the project because it was clearly not working.
Choosing videos or instructions is very easy using the menu selection. It gives you a quick way to access whatever you need. Users also get access to some fantastic articles written by the instructors. They cover a wide range of topics, including pot odds, bluffing, bankroll management, pre, and post-flop play, to name a few. Another excellent bonus is Real poker training at a lower price point.
Real Poker Training Review: is it worth the hype
The training comes in at a friendly price point, and they consistently give out specials that you will not find at any other training site. Some of the specials include monthly fees at half price, zero initiation fee, and Bluff magazine annual subscription, among others. Even if you sign up at the regular price, the training is definitely worth the money you will spend.
We would give it a rating of 7.5/10
