Review

Annie Duke's Beginner's Guide to Texas Hold'em is another in the Masters of Poker DVD series. In it, Annie invites you to learn the game of Texas Hold'em.

Annie Duke is one of the really successful female poker players in the world of Texas Hold'em. She has had great results in both cash games and tournaments, and many see her as one of the best female players in the world.

Her Beginner's Guide, a two-hour crash course in the game of Texas Hold'em, aims to teach the basics of this wildly popular poker variant.

From the rules of the game and how to get started, to strategy and etiquette, to position play and odds, it covers a very wide range of information in a short time.

Duke's personality and poker savvy shine throughout the entire production, and all the information is easy to understand. In short, this is a great way for players new to Texas Hold'em to learn the basics and get started playing. Experienced players probably should not be shopping for a beginner's guide anyway; they will find the DVD very basic.

Overall Annie Duke's Beginner's Guide to Texas Hold'em offers good basic information in an easy-to-understand format. Highly recommended.
