I think Windbreaker is (and like it, I believe)... Haven't heard anyone else mention it.

I was thinking about joining there so I would be interested what people say about it.

Only thing that is bad is that Annette's videos will only be of her playing on betfair, I play on betfair so they maybe of use to me but since that sites player pool is small they don't have as much informative advice as bigger field tornament videos. If you didn't see the first video she did here it is :

Getting expert advice from Daniel Negreanu has gotta be a plus thou.

It's not for everyone. There's different sections...and some of them are pretty weak.

The good:
- Small ball course - it teaches you the general approach DN has in deep stacked tournaments. (Unfortunately, this approach in general works best for larger buy in live tourneys and some deep stacked cash games....it doesn't work well for your typical online tournaments.
- Heads up tournaments/Cash games - It has some very good videos of DN and PtyPoker Sucks of heads up cash games.
- Any DN video is actually really good. He articulates his thoughts for the hard decisions well...and tells you his strategy, what he thinks the opponents are doing, and how he counters their approach.
- They have a math section that is unique.

The bad:
- The overall quality of videos of all the other pros in general is lacking. They have some great players, but they have a hard time articulating their thoughts. There's also large periods of silence from some.
- Not enough content. They don't have a schedule as to when stuff comes out. And when some stuff does come out it's generally ok...but I don't know if people can learn a ton from it.

For live players, I would say it's a good idea to register and at least go through the small ball section, but the content is in his book. Pretty much identical if you want a cheaper version.
