Well Mr Keizer I shall have to disagree with you - but not wholly as per.
Yeah it seems like Pros will go to lengths to make extra money..but we know this and it will always be the way. Moreso now, in this age of new-fangled-techno-blinkyflashy-buttons-buy-this-wohoo-bright-lights-heavy-chested-t'internet world we live in.
The videos on the demo are free to watch and I wasn't saying we should all rush out and buy the rest of them. The ones I saw I thought were pretty good in the fact that we get to see some of the stage-by-stage thoughts of the particular professional player as he plays through the hand.
The info can be digested in a different way than info from a book. It might suit some people.
I thought they would also be helpful for some of the newer players here who were recently asking what position meant.
Yes, I'll accept your points regarding your opponents, your stack, your goals etc but by necessity we don't mindlessly follow everything we read or see when we are learning do we. Similarly,when we choose to buy and read their books, we also have to accept the fact that Harrington and Brunson etc are often playing in different circumstances to us.
I could read how a professional heavyweight boxer drew an opponents lead and knocked him out with a counter punch. I could watch that on video too but I wouldn't necessarily think I could go out and emulate that. I wouldn't put the book down after reading and go out to a bar and smack a big fatty on the chin.
And furthermore, in real life big-fatties usually have more than one chin - so things aren't as simple as they seem.
