BlueFirePoker Review

How many clicks does it take to get to the center of this tootsie roll pop? A lot. Let me explain.

I play 6max 100NLHE and tournaments. This preface is required due to the content on BlueFirePoker. This review will be from my perspective (obviously), but your experience may differ depending on what games you play.

As you would expect, they don't have that many videos since they just opened for business. This is in no way a slight on their website, just a fact of life. What I look for in a training site is material related to the games I play. BFP seems to be focused a little more on mid to high stakes content. This of course could change in the future, but I can only review what is available. Also, there are plenty of videos for all of you heads-up enthusiasts out there. Unfortunately, this is not for me either. Content related to small stakes 6max NLHE is few and far between, but their library on this topic is growing each week. There is no doubt in my mind that, given adequate time, their small stakes 6max NLHE section will become a very valuable source of information.

The only other complaint I had when using the site was the overall structure and flow of the material. Keep in mind that I'm an avid DeucesCracked member, so I have come to expect a certain level of organization. Maybe I've been spoiled, but I'm used to the "Series" concept that DC uses. It groups together videos into 8 part series where a specific coach/coaches explain a concept or strategy from beginning to end in a very effective and efficient manner. BFP has chosen to do this with a few of their videos, but they have a lot more random topic videos. Phil Galfond's High Stakes Adventures comes to mind, or his and White Lime's collaboration on playing HU PLO. I have not watched them, but I've heard very good things. As for the videos that I care about, it doesn't seem like there is any sort of structure or future plan, but I could be wrong. Also, it could be just me, but their website seems to have lots of random errors when trying to navigate through it. This is something else that comes with the territory of just starting out, so I'm sure these issues will be addressed in the future.

Possibly the most important aspect of a training site is the quality of the content in their videos. This is where BFP's true colors shine. Galfond's Philosophy videos are short, but packed with amazing content. SoCalQuest and others offer great insight into their styles of play. BFP's business plan has to do with quality over quantity, and it shows. They may not have the quantity since they have just started, but their quality is top notch. If they have a video for the games you play, I can pretty much guarantee that you will learn something from it.

In conclusion, I think BFP has great potential. I may look into continuing my subscription in the future, especially if I move up in stakes, but for now I will be completely content to stick with DC only.
