DeucesCracked.com Review

DeucesCracked.com is a poker training and coaching site that was opened by a group of highly successful online poker players. Among the founders of the site is Jay “Krantz” Rosenkrantz, who has earned several million dollars in online no-limit Holdem games. His reputation as a fearsome opponent and critical thinker makes him as qualified as anyone in the world to run a poker training site.

The primary focus at Deuces Cracked is on NL cash games, but they have expanded into other poker variants in recent years. A massive video collection and huge lineup of coaches makes DeucesCracked.com a solid choice for all players. Add to that their reasonable membership plans and it’s easy to see why Deuces Cracked has taken off so well.

What You Get

As a member of Deuces Cracked, you’ll get one-on-one access with some of the best poker players in the world. The biggest attraction is their video collection, which consists of more than 1500 videos that cover a wide range of topics. Speaking of which, each video is designed to impart a specific lesson. This is a nice change from the usual practice of just firing up the monitors and seeing what happens. Here's the full list of benefits:

• Poker strategy videos (1500+)
• Poker strategy articles
• Poker discussion forum
• Pro player blogs
• One on one coaching (costs extra)

The majority of the content focuses on no-limit Holdem cash games. However, several well known fixed-limit, MTT and PLO pros have been added to the roster in recent years. Today’s video lineup thoroughly covers all of the most popular poker variants. If you like to mix it up, you’ll feel comfortable at DeucesCracked.com.

Limit Hold'em also receives solid coverage. The fixed limit pros at Deuces Cracked are extremely skilled and will definitely improve your game. Multi-table tournament players will also find enough content and strategy advice to make the membership worth the cost. Sit-n-go players may want to look elsewhere.

DeucesCracked.com Instructors

There are a ton of coaches, instructors, and video producers at DeucesCracked.com. From the original five founders, the Deuces Cracked team has expanded to include nearly 70 experienced online poker players. This makes Deuces Cracked one of the largest training sites on the internet.

The full list of coaches is too long to list here, so here’s a quick overview of the biggest names:

• Jay “Krantz” Rosenkrantz
• Danzasmack
• DeathDonkey
• Joe Tall
• Entity
• Ansky
• Sthief09
• DJ Sensei

Each member of the Deuces Cracked staff specializes in a specific type and level of poker. For example, you’ll find videos that are produced by some of the biggest no-limit Holdem heads-up winners, videos that are produced by hardcore middle stakes grinders, and much more, so no matter what limits you'll play you can benefit from the videos.

Deuces Cracked Strengths

What I like most about DeucesCracked.com is its professional approach to poker training. They release videos on a regular schedule and present everything in an authoritative but down-to-earth manner. This is in great contrast to some poker training sites that claim you’ll be “pwning donkeys in no time!!”

The other good thing about Deuces Cracked is the sheer amount of material they have available. With more than 1500 videos and countless articles, blog posts and forum posts, the site will keep you busy for a very long time. No matter what game you play, you’ll find a lot of material to digest and learn from.

DeucesCracked.com Weaknesses

The only real weakness at Deuces Cracked is the lack of sit-n-go training videos. They cover MTTs to death, but SNGs do not get much attention here. The good news is that it appears Deuces Cracked has already heard this criticism and has been adding to its SNG library recently.

I’m not really sure if this counts as a weakness or not, but the private coaching lessons are fairly expensive. The prices are in line with what you would find anywhere else, but it would be nice to see a discount or some sort of special offer for current paying members.
