Poker Training Sites: A Side-By-Side Comparison Review
RELATED ARTICLES
In an effort to help readers keep up with the ever-growing list of online poker training sites, we’ve condensed our reviews into a simple chart that will help those considering a subscription to a training site find a starting point for their decision. While training sites are an invaluable tool for most players, their cost is not insignificant – the signup fees alone can represent a decent chunk of a typical player’s bankroll. Hopefully this article will provide a bit of additional insight that will allow you to deploy those hard-won dollars for their greatest benefit possible to your game.
Some notes on this table … Pricing: Most sites offer some discounts for multiple month purchases, etc, so our cost reflects an average price. Rating: Ratings are based on the utility of the site for an average poker player, so a site that covers many formats and limits (Cardrunners) will rate higher than a specialized site with videos of equal, or even superior, quality (PokerXFactor). Recency: We do our best to keep this information up to date, but sites are dynamic. Confirm the information provided at the site itself before signing up.
