A key member of the Hollywood Poker Academy, Joe Fortin not only sustains a reputation as one of the world's preeminent card sharks, but is one of those rare few who constantly run the risk of being barred from casinos due to his sharply-honed, almost frightening skill with a card deck. Now, Fortin imparts his secrets to at-home audiences in the instructional program, How to Make Money Playing Texas Hold 'Em Poker. This 83-minute release covers such poker subtopics as reading the face of a rival, accumulating a bank roll, bluffing, mentally tracking one's own progress, classifying one's opponents, coping with specific hands as they arise, and much more. The program is designed to help viewers dramatically increase their odds of winning by mastering the tricks of the pros.
