The answer depends upon your skill level. If you are already a solid winning player, the answer is probably that your investment will be borderline. If you are a small winner or a losing player, it will probably be worth it for you.

Although they release 5 or 6 videos a week, most of them are not worth watching. Many are very poorly produced and the amount of useful information you can get out of them is not worth the time it takes to watch them.

Each month one or two of them have some useful information for the strong player. The problem is that you have to wade through all the filler videos to find the useful information. After watching a number of them, you can kind of guess who will produce a good video and who will basically waste your time.

So, to sum it up, I would say that if you are struggling and are a breakeven or small winning player, they might be worth your time, otherwise you will probably feel like your money could be better spent after a couple of months of being a member.

Post what levels you play at and I'll give you some good vids for that level.

Fair 'nuff. I've been playing 5/10 full ring NL at various sites since '04 and winning at around 5BB ($1 per hand.) So I'd be looking for more advanced play in the hope of picking up a new idea or two...

If you are making $1 per hand I honestly think CR is a waste of your time for the most part. ESPECIALLY because you play FR and all high limit vids are HU or 6max.

Are any of the video sites worthwhile? The thing I don't like about CR is that there aren't a lot of sample vids and the one I saw on youtube wasn't that great with mostly obvious plays. I am considering moving to NL cash (with actual full stacks) and don't mind throwing down a couple hundo if the vids are actually going to be useful at all, but if not it's a huge waste.

imo no, i paid the 100.00 "setup" fee and then the 25 a month fee. Grabbed some videos and personally all the things they talked about I knew. Read a few books and you will learn the same thing and save yourself some money. The videos are by normal people so the sound levels are not very solid, some are good, some are bad. If you have spare money, try it. IMO I think the site is there for the owners to recruit trainees and then charge them 500.00 an hour to train with them. Its great advertising...I think this forum has just as much value personally.

Does cardrunners.com offer videos on Limit Hold'em?

I am looking to improve my game at $10/20 - $50/100 LHE 6max/full ring.

I think they have two guys doing LHE videos now (Schneids is one of them, and I can't remember who the other is), but there are only a few videos so far, maybe like 10-15 or so.
