Outstanding Poker was created by two professional Poker players from Toronto. Now, these aren’t the world’s most famous players or even - by their own admission - the best players. But they regularly earn between 10 and 15 thousand US dollars a month playing medium stakes Poker on the internet. Their secret? A solid, low-variance approach to Poker that avoids silly risks and brings in a consistent profit. Outstanding Poker exists to teach you how to play the same way.

The Good Stuff

• A single, solid winning style is drummed into you
  Outstanding Poker differentiates itself from other Poker sites in its consistent aim to get you playing the same way as its two Pros. Other sites can have a confusing array of different games at different levels. Not so at Outstanding Poker. You are shown - in a step-by-step manner - exactly how to play their $10,000 a month style. No distractions.
  .
• The style being taught is low-variance
  Other sites will teach a LAG (Loose Aggressive) style of play or recommend heads-up as a place to start. While this can be very profitable, the profit swings can be brutal. The style taught at Outstanding Poker is one built for consistent profits, minimising the variance (as much as is possible).
  .
• Podcasts
  The site contains podcasts that you can download to your PC in mp3 format and listen to on the move. It’s a nice touch, that I haven’t seen on other sites.

The Bad Stuff

• The site needs more videos
  Currently, the site has the right amount of videos to take you step-by-step through the Outstanding Poker playing style. But there’s always room for more, right? We’d like to see more videos, and new videos added much more frequently.
  .
• What’s with the DRM?
  The site’s videos can either be watched via online streaming, or downloaded to your PC. That’s great - but unfortunately they’re DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected, which means you have to enter your password to watch them. It’s a bit of a pain, and also means you can’t watch the videos while offline unless you unlock them first.
  .

• No forum?
  The site doesn’t have a forum, which is a pity as it’s not hard to add and it’s always nice to have somewhere to ask your Poker questions. The site’s pros do encourage you to contact them with questions, but an open forum is always a better medium to do so.

The Bottom Line

Overall, I liked Outstanding Poker. It’s not the slickest Poker training site (Poker Savvy Plus wins there), and it doesn’t have the most famous instructors (such as David Williams over at Real Poker Training) … but in a way that’s also its strength: it takes a clear and consistent line in showing you how to play $10,000 a month Poker. No distractions, no complications. If that sounds like something you’d appreciate, we can certainly recommend it.
