Genuine Training Sites and the "Wolves in Sheeps Clothing"

Many of us want to improve our game we look for ways to do this. One of the ways I have been looking into for some time now are the Internet Training Sites and the Internet e-book Trainers. Most are genuinely offering their services with trained and professional coaches and mentors. But there are some wolves-in-sheep-clothing who offer you enticements like the following: "DOMINATE YOUR OPPONENTS" etc etc. Next thing, they offer to let you downlaod their e-book for FREE, just provide them with your e-mail and verify your account and that all there is to it. And what do you think you will get? Pages and Pages and Pages of Banner Affiliate Advertising with a few paragraphs of advice and strategies that even your grandmother knew before there was internet poker. Well, it's free, isn't it? Yes it is- but it is not what I asked for!
Sincerely Yours, Duped Again

I've heard some very good things about some of the most well known sites, like cardrunners, stoxpoker, pokerxfactor etc Not tried any but watched a few videos here and there.They look pretty good to me.
These sites are fairly expensive but possibly worth the investment if you like learning from videos and such rather than books.

But yeh, you have to be very careful with some of the less expensive - get-rich-quick scams. Sorry to hear you got one of those.
