Devilfish DVD out in time for holidays

devilfish Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott hosted a television show this year called How to Become a Poker Millionaire, which featured him training four losing poker players for more than a month to try to turn them into winning players.

The players went through testing and coaching by Ulliott, and they practiced what they learned by playing online poker. The participants then had to play against each other and were eliminated one per episode of the show.

The winner of the show received a seat in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

The Devilfish's teachings have now been captured on DVD and were released this week for poker fans.

The DVD includes all the episodes of the TV show plus an extra hour of footage. That footage includes tips from top pros such as Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson and Phil Hellmuth.

Also included in the DVD are Ulliott's poker rules, including:

  • Playing the right starting cards
  • Calculating odds
  • Playing the right online opponents
  • Dealing with tilt
  • When to be aggressive
  • When to fold
  • Bankroll management

Ulliott certainly has the credentials to dish out poker advice. In the course of his poker career he's accumulated more than $5 million in tournament winnings. He also has one WSOP bracelet win as well as a World Poker Tour win on his poker resume.

The DVD went up for sale Dec. 1 and can be found at Zavvi, HMV, Amazon and Woolworths.

"With Christmas just around the corner, this is the perfect stocking filler for players of all levels," Ulliott said. "Pop it on when your 'nan and crazy uncle have been at the sherry and prepare to have fun. But remember ... a Devilfish DVD is not just for Christmas!"
