Get Portable Poker Advice from Daniel Negreanu

The next time you’re playing a game of Texas Hold’em, wouldn’t it be nice if you could lean over and get advice from legendary pro Daniel Negreanu?

Well, now you can. Sort of.

I-PLAY VIDEOS

Daniel “Kid Poker” Negreanu has teamed up with respected mobile entertainment company I-play to produce a series of instructional videos exclusively for mobile phones. Available on carriers such as Sprint and Cingular, the series is titled “Win at Texas Hold’em.”

Each clip runs from two to three minutes and features advice straight from Negreanu. Over 100 clips were filmed, and they are designed to help players of all skill levels. Categories available include:

1. Beginner

2. Advanced

3. Bluffs and Tells

4. Tournament Tips

5. Winnings Secrets


Scenes from Daniel’s video blog will also be incorporated.

According to David Gosen, CEO of I-play, “The mobile video signals a ground-breaking new product and an industry first, offering bite-sized chunks of entertainment to develop the Texas Hold’em aficionado in all of us.”

And I’m sure he wouldn’t lie, right?

WIN AT TEXAS HOLD’EM

While Sprint and Cingular are already on board, other major North American carriers are expected to release the series within a few months.

The clips are customizable and will be available in streaming video and pay-per-clip options. If you go the route of streaming video, you will be able to search for, bookmark and play your favorite clips.

Even better, I-play has announced that they plan to launch a game based around the series sometime later this year. Let’s hope it’s better than most cheesy Texas Hold’em video games which have hit the market.

Personally, I’d like to see one where you can come over the table and deck Hellmuth. Or maybe one where Evelyn Ng looks hot but never makes a final table. The possibilities are endless.
