If They Released the Entire Season....,
By
This review is from: World Poker Tour Season Three: (DVD)
... then this item would get 5 stars. I wanted to give this DVD set 2.5 stars, but that wasn't possible, so I rounded up.Well, hmm. This is an interesting one. This DVD set is definately a step down from the previous full season release of the WPT Season Two. First off, as implied in the name, this is a best of season, and is not the full season. Mistake number one. I would have much preferred the full season on DVD, and pay a little extra. I mean, they've eliminated some of the best episodes, such as the Five Diamond World Poker Classic (Daniel Negreanu's second season 3 win), the Mirage Poker Showdown (featuring a win by Eli Elezra), Aruba Poker Classic (win by Alex Brenes) among others. However, this DVD does encapsulate some of the best episodes, such as both of Tuan Le's wins, Michael Mizrachi's win (which features a player from Winnipeg, my home town), John Stolzsman's win (which is one of my favorite episodes) among others. But one episode that I can't stand to watch is season 3's San Jose Bay 101 Shooting Star, featuring some horrible poker play on Danny Nguyen's part. Absolutely disgusting to watch him make the plays he did, and the numerous suck outs, just horrible. The only reason that episode made it onto this disc was because Gus Hansen made it to the final table. There's no doubt in my mind. Now, I really don't know what Shout! Factory was thinking when they made this, but whoever was in charge surely dropped the ball on this one. Yes, the DVD's look nice, and they included a few deleted hands (believe me, they were deleted for a reason), and some Shana Hiatt bloopers (in which she looks smoking in by the way), but all in all, just not really worth it.

I e-mailed them,
By Poker Guru - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: World Poker Tour Season Three: (DVD)
Thank you for your interest.
Shout!Factory" For the record, the episodes included are: Legends of Poker Borgata Poker Open Grand Prix de Paris World Poker Finals World Poker Open LA Poker Classic Bay 101 Shooting Star WPT Championship Now, the Bay 101 Shooting Star event is terrible, featuring some horrible play by Danny Nguyen, which I actually find insulting to watch. They've missed out the events won by Eli Elezra, Eric Brenes, Carlos Mortensen, [one of the wins by] Daniel Negreanu, John Gale, Alex Brenes, Maciek Gracz and Arnold Spee. (Perhaps it's worth noticing that in so doing, they've left out wins by 6 non-Americans. Surely it couldn't be that the WPT only want to show American winners in a ***WORLD*** Poker Tour?) In the past, they've produced standalone DVD's such as Bad Boys of Poker, Ladies Night and Battle of the Champions. During season 3 they had several such events: Ladies' Night II (with Isabelle Mercier, Cyndy Violette and Clonie Gowen) Poker By The Book (with Mike Caro, TJ Cloutier, Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Mike Sexton and David Sklansky) Young Guns (with Scott Fischman, David Williams and John D'Agostino) Still no news on these events either. The WPT are, quite frankly, foolish for not wishing to release the full season, and until they do so, they won't be getting a purchase from me, particularly when rival TV shows such as Ultimate Poker Challenge and Poker Superstars Invitational have done. 17 of 18 people found the following review helpful:

Dropping the ball,
By S. Clement "All in" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: World Poker Tour Season Three: (DVD)
I'm not sure who was in charge of putting this dvd set together but I think they definately dropped the ball in the production of this season release. You wouldn't ever see Law and Order or Seinfeld release a "Best of Season x" dvd leaving out certain less popular or less watched episodes. I would have been perfectly happy paying a little more to get the rest of this dvd set. On top of that, the Negreanu/Lindgren Esfandiari/Laak commentairies accompanying the season 2 dvd set were a highlight and I think they ought to have expanded that to all the episodes.
Overall, you get a dvd of 8 of the wpt episodes, half of the season, no commentary, no notable special features, and if you happened to be looking to replay your favorite episode you may be disappointed because the WPT didn't deem it on of the "Best" episodes. I hope this is the first and final truly second class product issued form the WPT. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful:

The glass is half empty...,
By Daniel A. Olson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: World Poker Tour Season Three: (DVD)
Like the other reviewers, I am disappointed that it only contains 8 of the episodes from the third season. Those of us who bought the first two seasons are poker junkies and will pay the extra cost of producing the entire season. I can only hope the producers of the World Poker Tour will rectify their short sightedness and complete the rest of Season Three. Plus, the player commentary is what separated this from watching it on cable. Not continuing that style of production is a step backward. The eight episodes are still quality shows, but I agree with Poker Guru that the Bay 101 Shooting Star was the one of the worst episodes to have included.
