    Would be nice to have some trial videos to watch or something?

    I agree. I am expected to buy a pig in a poke?

    This site is obv. aimed at low stakes/mid stakes players looking to move up, and sufficiently impressed by the pro roster to cough up $130 just to see what the site has to offer.

    For micro stake players it just doesn't make sense to blow between 5 and 26 buy-ins without any idea of the quality of the videos.

    There are plenty of sites with high quality material for the micro limit crowd, that not only don't charge sign-up fees, but also offer free "previews". 

    Just move on.

    Price is a bit high for micro-stakes players that's right, I'll join when I decide to get serious about poker, too busy right now. That said, I can't even imagine how expensive private coaching with Phil Galfond would be, like in the thousands of dollars an hour! With that in mind, the price suddenly becomes much more affordable.

    The site is definitely not a rip off.

    However, I agree with you about not having sample videos. I know someone above said there is a sample on YouTube or whatever, but how am I suppoed to know to search the entire internet?

    BF is definitely losing money and customers by not posting a couple of sample vids. I would not have joined after being unable to find a sample vid but I have followed Samo since way back in the Party Poker days years ago and was willing to do the short signup just to get a look at his vids.

    I also have a Card Runners membership, but for my learning style BF is better because of their single table vids which allows them to go into greater detail on many subjects.

    I also like the fact that you can download the vids and they are yours. With Card Runners you can only view the vids for as long as you are paying for the membership.

    I really just wanted to reply to OP and tell him to go ***k himself!

    Most wining players poker have paid for varioius books, videos, coaching and god knows what else to get them where they are. I've already learned more from one week on this site then any book could teach.
