Rebuilding PokerTrikz

Hello everyone. As you can see I am rebuilding PokerTrikz. You have likely arrived on this page for one of two reasons. Either accidentally because you followed a link that no longer exists; or on purpose because you want to know what the hell I did to PokerTrikz. The old version of PokerTrikz had some serious programming problems that caused most videos to stop working, refused to let me upload new videos, and had some loose scripts that would crash the server about twice a month. I tried to fix it myself, I tried hiring people, and I tried ignoring it. None of them came to an optimal solution in the end so I decided to scrap everything and start over with my content.

The new PokerTrikz is going to be easier for myself and more importantly, the users in the long run. I’m doing it right this time and  every page is getting fresh content and more love than it did in the past. Unfortunately it means some missing pages and partially completed articles for a while. I hope everyone enjoys the new site and if you have any feedback, you can submit it on the contact page.

The PokerTrikz Videos

Most people are likely here for the poker training videos. I have decided to redo the entire video section of the website, so you may not be able to find the video you want for a while. From now on, each video will have a full length article that goes with it. I will summarize what happens during the video and expand upon the key concepts in the video. You can see a good example of this in the 1st video, Trikkur 1. This will allow users to understand the important lessons from each video and quickly reference them in the future. The downside is it takes a lot of time to re-watch a video, take notes, write an article to summarize and then expand upon the key concepts, and finally edit everything so you guys actually believe I passed my English classes. It will take time to get all the content up again, but it will be worth it to make PokerTrikz into a high quality resource that poker players can use for years to come.

Rakeback Section

At this very moment there is a problem with the rakeback section. Normally you would create an account on the PokerTrikz forums and it would automatically create a rakeback account and log you into both things. Currently the rakeback account is not being made nor signed into properly. You can still sign up for most poker rooms, but you might have to send me a message to confirm your PokerTrikz account and the website you are signing up at. This is high priority and will hopefully be fixed before February 24th.

The PokerTrikz Blogs

No one was using the blogs anymore, including myself. It was going to be very difficult to rebuild them all on the new website, so I decided to just scrap everything. I’m sorry for anyone that used them or wanted their old posts; I didn’t expect to accidentally delete the entire server while making back ups. I think I lost them, but if you really want them and can’t find it in the Google cache or Archive.org please send me a message and I’ll see what I can do. Let me know if you would like to have the blogging capability back because it would be easier to implement this time around. I will look into it and see what I can do if there is enough interest.

In Conclusion

Everything is going to be messy for a bit, but rebuilding PokerTrikz will make it better. Just check out a few videos and you’ll be able to tell this is a superior way of doing things. Not only is the subject matter more detailed and straightforward, but the videos play and can be skipped around extremely quickly. I’m also able to save about $1,000 a year in fees with the new way of hosting videos, which will very nice. I hope all my new visitors enjoy the website and all of the great training videos. I also hope that my returning visitors can use the expanded content on each of the videos and the rewrites on most of the articles. I’m very determined to make PokerTrikz a source of high quality poker content for all. The following video was made by a PokerTrikz user back in 2009 when I launched the last version, which I was calling PokerTrikz 2. This launch will thus be called PokerTrikz 2, two. If someone makes a PokerTrikz 3 video, maybe the naming scheme can change.
