No Limit Holdem (NLHE)
The NLHE content on PokerSwat has a lot of attractions. The site provides a high frequency of videos from some of the top pros around.


6 Max:
This is probably the strongest area of PokerSwat. 6max videos are released very frequently and the content in the videos is amongst the best available. With small stakes pros like HectorJelly, jballer88 and Pok3rPlaya, SSNL members can avail of the excellent training videos and look to move up the ranks.

 

 

Mid Stakes Coaches include Pacuno, Xaston, Pok3rPlaya and Brianm15. Again the content here is excellent and very valuable to any MSNL player.

High Stakes videos are produced by –NoName-, Traheho, Pacuno and PoorUser. There is a great selection of HSNL games up to 25/50 where the pros demonstrate how to crush the games.

 

Full Ring:
PoorUser and Bas have produced full ring videos where they are playing 9 tables and 4 tables respectively. These videos investigate full ring poker concepts and also cover multi-tabling issues.

 

Headsup:
Hectorjelly and Phyreburn have produced individual introductions to Heads Up series where they move up the levels from SSNL to MSNL.

Theoretical and Pokergirl1 have produced the MSNL HU content for the site so far providing excellent analysis on their thought processes throughout the videos.

Pacuno, Traheho, and PoorUser have produced the HSNL HU videos across number of sites. The high stakes HU content on PokerSwat also includes a 100/200 HU video from –NoName- against Lars Luzak on the Prima network.

Pot Limit Omaha:
PLO experts Marty Smyth and RoundTower have produced the miro stakes PLO videos for Poker Swat. They cover issues of the transition form HLHE to PLO and common mistakes made by low stakes players.


Marty Smyth and RoundTower, along with Plattsburgh take on the small stakes PLO content where they begin to discuss more advanced concepts for small stakes PLO players. They have excellent videos and give thorough analysis of their play.


Andy McLEOD and Ozzy 87 have a number of PLO videos on PokerSwat that were produced on Full Tilt and PokerStars. Again, like all the PLO content on PokerSwat.com, the high stakes PLO videos are excellent.

 

Multi Table Tournaments (MTTs)
Andy Ward and Bas provide a lot of beginner MTT videos where they cover MTT strategy in early, middle and late stages in the tournament. The MTT experts also produce the mid stakes Multi Table Tournaments for PokerSwat, ranging from $50 to $200 buy-ins.


Andy Ward, Bas and Plattsburgh are the platinum level video producers for PokerSwat; they show the differences in standard in higher buy-in tournaments and give an in depth account of the action in all the videos.

 

 

Sit and Gos (STTs)
PokerSwat has limited STT focus, but still provide great content. Guest coach Kazor, a highly sought after STT coach produced a beginner STT series for Poker Swat . Bas has also produced an STT video for the site.

 

Forums:

The forums on PokerSwat are relatively quite so far, but it is expected that they will flourish soon. They have an extremely good layout of relevant poker sections and there are excellent responses from the pros. The pros give more of an input than then members themselves, so it leads to excellent advice being given to members.

 

Coaching:
There is a coaching section on the PokerSwat forums where various pros give an account of their coaching programs which leaves selecting a coach very easy for the members.

 

The Verdict: Score: 8/10
PokerSwat is a relatively new entrant to the market and has provided an excellent roster of poker coaches. The big name coaches are very active on the forums and at producing videos. PokerSwat has not reached it peak yet, but it is definitely moving in the right direction rapidly. They are unique in the industry with their emphasis on PLO and tendency to target European players. The NLHE content is top class and competes directly with other training sites. Overall, we feel that PokerSwat is a site that is steadily improving and given some time, we expect them to be competing at the very top of the poker training business
