CardRunners Review

Cardrunners is largest online poker training site. I usually get a free membership to Cardrunners for a week or two out of the month and that gives me more than enough time to download the videos I’m interested in and watch them at my leisure.

The Good

1. Cardrunners probably has the biggest selection of HU videos — 94 videos in all. You can get to the HU video section by clicking on the “Advanced Search Options” link.

2. CardRunners has a killer lineup of heads up instructors including CTS, Green Plastic, INTERNET POKERS, sbrugby, Stinger, and MasterLJ.

The Bad

1. You can’t sort the search results. It would be really nice to be able to sort the videos by the average rating.

2. You can’t see how many people rated a video. I’d rather watch a video whose average rating is 9.2 with 100 votes than a video whose average rating 9.3 with 2 votes.

3. You can’t put the videos on your iPhone (damn DRM protection).

The Ugly

1. It’s a bit hard to stay motivated to watch an hour long video when I want to get in there and start playing. I’m not quite sure why an hour long video is the industry standard.

2. The $99 setup fee sucks.

3. Doesn’t really make sense to pay $27.99 every single month. There’s just not a whole lot of new HU videos being released monthly.
