@Keith,

you're right. i haven't watched the video so i am quite possibly ill-informed about it's approach. i made my comments based on what other people said about his style of teaching. i certainly see the merits of what you're saying. building confidence, gaining the ability to get some poker experience and put in some volume without losing and becoming discouraged, etc. i would personally prefer someone to have guided me towards understanding of the concepts which make people a winning player when i started out, rather than telling me some kind of system (i'm not saying this is necessarily what this video does, it just seems that way based on how people describe it), which is what actually happened. i guess this post kind of sums up where i'm coming from. my comments were in no way personal attacks upon you or your viewpoints.
