It seems like everytime someone asks about cardrunners people give crazy praise for it, but then there is a thread like this. What's the deal?

CR is great. They've made a ton of really good videos in the past that have helped many of us (including myself) become a better poker player for a ridiculously good value.

However, lately their NLHE vids have become a bit stale imo. Jman's vid was a breath of fresh air, both with a different perspective on how to play, and because he's so well spoken and clearly explains his thoughts. Not that most of the other CR pros are unintelligible, Jman's vid was just exceptionally well done - it just raised the bar.

I think this hate for CR in this thread is simply because there's been no agreement made for new jman vids to be made. Plus the ppl who just hate CR for whatever reason found a thread to vent where they probably won't get flamed for it.

For me personally, I've been a CR member for almost as long as they've been making videos. I've never contemplated canceling my subscription until lately, due to the lack of high quality NLHE vids. If Jman was a full CR pro making videos a couple times a month, I wouldn't be thinking this way at all.

You don't stay on top by just going through the motions, and that's what it feels like CR has been doing lately.
