Default Re: Comparing Strength\'s and weaknesses of Cardrunners and Pokerxfacto

Tournament vids are much better in a replayer than live. The only thing you miss out on are occasional timing tells, but with the live vids, you get waaaaaaaaaaay less info in the same amount of time. You spend so much time just watching the player fold 72o and such. The fact that more of their vids are done on a replayer is pretty much the only thing PXF has going for them. The fact that they have a larger number of tournament videos is nice, but so many of them are by the same people that you aren't really getting that much variety.

Tournament videos by Adanthar, ActionJeff, and AaronBeen on CR are better, on average, than the PXF stuff, plus your subscription gives you access to amazing cash game videos by CTS, sbrugby, Jman, etc. Even if you don't play cash much, you should watch these just to improve your understanding of the game.

PXF is probably a little better if you're very new to tournaments and need a more comprehensive introduction to what you should be trying to do and why. But for sophisticated play, I much prefer CR.
