I want to purchase these DVD sets and i wanted to know from you guys out there if you have purchased these. Do you highly recommend them?

Does Dave Fromm post on here?
Does Rolf Slotbloomf post on here?
Does Byron Jacobs post on here?

How would you rate the information on the NL section by Rolf?

Thank you in advance.
Please state in your response how many years you have been playing poker.

Dave Fromm's DVDs are great if you want to beat shorthanded limit games. Much of his advice is equally applicable to full ring games.

Byron's DVD is strictly applicable to heads-up limit play.

Dave Fromm = J.A. Sucker = Co-Author of new book with Ray Zee. Mikey, I know you know who J.A. Sucker is - so decide if you like his posts. I always have.

I think that is enough reason to buy the DVD's. It was for me.

Shorthanded play is to a big part about optimal blind-play. How does Fromm's DVD rate in that department?

I own them all, Dave's Showed up in the mail Monday and I watched them, Byron's showed up in the mail yesterday and I have watched one. My early opinion is very favorable of both

Ed's DVDs have great content but the production quality is crap on one he sounds like is talking through tin cans with a string stretched between them.

Contrary to a previous poster's opinion, I really like Rolf's DVDs. I am clueless about NL and I found them very helpful.

I say its just like Pokemon, "You have to catch them all!"

I got Ed's as a gift and I've watched a couple of them. I'm sure they are great, for the right audience, but they struck me as much more appropriate for a beginner than someone with experience.

I hope Dave's are not like this. I am not interested in beginner material. I realize there is a market for that - but I'm not that market.

I can't comment on Jacob's as I'm currently not very interested in HU's play (which may change in the future).

I searched and couldn't find the answer...is there any place to buy these DVDs that still accepts Neteller?

Not at all sure - but did you try Conjelco?

Steam, I think I remember from long time ago ( but not sure) there being something mentioned about Mr. Sklansky's video, and you owned that as well. Is my memory correct and if so, what'd you think?
