Reviews for Poker Tells Video Series:

“Clear, compelling content. Elwood takes great care to go into not just “what to look for” but also the psychology behind the action. You won’t just gain a few tips and tricks – you’ll have a deeper understanding of a critical aspect of live play.”
– Brad Chalupski, writing for CardPlayerLifestyle.com

“Loved the videos. Very impressed. Your work has been a catalyst for pushing me to become well-versed in psychology and physical behavior. The video format was entertaining and enjoyable throughout. They’ll definitely make it easier for a casual player to learn the concepts.”
– Alex Faynshteyn, pro poker player

“The videos were great. I really liked seeing the information laid out in such an organized, analytical, and structured manner. No time was wasted on ‘fluff.’ I didn’t find my attention wandering like with some other poker training videos. Seeing it specifically illustrated really helped quantify what was formerly a ‘sixth sense’ into something more useful.”
– Josh Hale, semi-pro, winner ’12 WPT Legends of Poker

Reviews for Seminars and Webinars

“The seminar is perfect for group learning because players of all levels can apply various aspects of it. Elwood has clearly put a lot of time into compiling and analyzing his material. I also love how honest he is about the relative importance of deciphering poker tells in an overall poker strategy.”
– Jennifer Shahade, chess player, poker player, author

“I was amazed the first time I sat down at the table after just two hours of Zach’s class. I immediately picked up tells on several opponents that I never would have noticed before. I’m very impressed with how well Zach communicated so many different things we can look for in our opponents.”
– Lee Childs, pro poker player and coach

“I thought [his presentation] was amazing and very enlightening. Plus he uses footage of World Series of Poker events, so you see players you may end up playing with, which is fantastic.”
– Jonathan Little, pro poker player and author
