Leggo Poker review

As more and more players show interest in subscribing to online poker training sites, more and more sites are popping up. That competition can’t be anything but good for players, although it can be a little overwhelming if you’re trying to choose just one. Perhaps in an attempt to appeal to those having trouble making a choice, many newer entrants seem to be adopting the strategy of focusing on a specific niche. That’s the tact taken by Leggo Poker, an online poker training site that focuses primarily on mid stakes no limit cash games online.

Pros
While Leggo Poker has been around for a bit now, it’s a relatively recent entrant into the online poker training market. That said, they’re certainly getting off on the right foot. They’ve assembled a team of instructors who, while light on name-brand recognition, are heavy on skill and teaching ability. Videos are focused, clearly articulated and professionally done.
Leggo is also working to create a full suite of resources for their community. They offer custom coaching programs, a hand converter, a mod and hot key script database, blogs from their instructors and an active forums where instructors participate on a regular basis. While it’s still early in the development of the site, they certainly seem to have good ideas about offering a comprehensive learning experience for users.
The specific focus on no limit cash is also an asset, as it keeps the videos and community discussions all working toward a fairly narrow goal, which allows the site to offer a greater depth of knowledge and insight than some sites with a more generalist focus.
Cons
The majority of issues I have with the site are likely a result of growing pains, and it seems like LP is already moving to correct them. The first is the size of the archive - at only a few dozen videos, it’s short compared to some other major trainers. The second is the lack of a framework for instruction - while sites like Stox and DeucesCracked are evolving into sites that offer a curriculum, the meta-structure for LP is still evolving.
The recent price increase is going to be an issue for some users, as it puts Leggo at or above the price point of some other sites that offer a deeper archive and more additional resources.
Overall
If you’re a low to mid-stakes no limit cash player and you’re looking to get insights from regular winners at those games, Leggo Poker will be a worthwhile investment that should pay for itself in short order.
