Keen to try a Poker Training site, I signed up for the Newsletter at RealPokerTraining.com. After about three months of just reading the stuff they emailed me, I was offered 6 months free if I signed up for and generated just $1 of rake on Duplicate Poker.
My rake was met from having played just four or five $3 (+30c) tourneys on there and yesterday (three weeks after emailing RPT asking for an account to be activated) I started my 6 month Access All Areas Membership. I watched a couple of vids on there last night - three by David Williams, a Ryan Fisler one and a couple of Amateur Player Critique ones - and well, I'd give the ones I've seen so far about 6/10.
Having seen a couple of Cardrunner samples, it's nothing like that (but that's not to say CR are better or worse). Firstly each just runs as if these guys are playing live - there's no skipping to particular hands. David Williams admits 'that he still needs to get a feel for this' and during the 'dead time' does tell some pretty decent stories about some of the Pros he plays with regularly and some of the strange and interesting hands he's played in against them. When he gets side-tracked by the hand in play, which can easily happen three times in one story, they become hard to follow. I don't have the best memory and I'm not the most patient person in the world so I found my concentration wandering to the other screens I have open (RTR and APAT Forums mainly).
For $1 rake on Duplicate the 6 month Membership is a steal. Duplicate itself though is pretty grim (grim = different and complicated if you've never played this format before and don't fully understand what to expect).

I like your thoughts on real poker training. I am a regular poker player but some times I loose the game. I thought I have to take some online training from web. So, I searched some top poker site for online training.
