Pro Play Live Overview

Pro Play Live is a collection of top-notch pros who decided to take their WSOP Academy and WPT Boot-Camp background and apply it to the world of online poker. Lead by 2004 main Event Champion Greg Raymer, Pro Play Live was launched in April 2009 with a library of over 100 training videos: Not a bad amount at launch.

The most impressive aspect of their team is not the two Main Event Champions, or the 18+ WSOP bracelets amongst them: What is truly impressive is the overall makeup of the instruction team. As soon as you see the lineup you know the instructors were not simply thrown together; it’s obvious they were hand selected, and each offers a different set of skills to the site. Pro Play Live is an extremely well rounded site; both in terms of game variants and in terms of the stakes played.

Written Content

There is no written content at the current time, but they do send out a monthly newsletter – you do not have to be a member of the site to receive the newsletter. There are no community forums and no pro or members blogs on the site.

Goodies

There are no promotions or bonus materials at Pro Play Live; the site definitely focuses on its training videos; which can be seen in the quality of the content. Although as a new site they may be opening up new areas in the future.

Pricing

Pro Play Live is one of the more economical poker training sites to join (this may change as the site becomes more established).

Pro Play Live offers its members two choices – Monthly payments or pre-pay:

  • Monthly: $19.95/month with a one-time $49.95 initiation fee.
  • Pre-Pay: 5-months for $99.75 and the site will waive the initiation fee. Pre-pay members can choose to pay the $19.95 monthly rate after their subscription expires.

Pro Play Live accepts all major credit cards, and PayPal and echecks will soon be available.

Expected Value: Is Pro Play Live Worth It?
ProPlay Live is not much more than a weak effort of a poker training site that uses the reputations of some live poker tournaments to attract players. The input of these ‘faces’ of the brand is very weak. We would highly suggest that you choose an alternative site for your MTT training.
