DeucesCracked is a poker instruction website business and an internet forum for the discussion of poker strategy. DeucesCracked offers a fee-based service that provides access to their catalogue of poker instructional videos. As of August 2009, DeucesCracked had over 1000 videos in its catalogue.[1] Prior to founding DeucesCracked, Jay Rosenkrantz established a personal coaching company 3bet.net. Jay, alongside industry competitor and CardRunners professional Taylor Caby, featured in a Forbes Video Network documentary[2] that explored the world of online poker-coaching as an emerging business in 2007. The site is managed as an online entity with no central hedaquarters; the executive officers themselves work from Seattle, Southern California, and New York.[3]

The DeucesCracked brand was founded in January 2007 with Rob "Entity" Cole, Joe "Joe Tall" Tall, Chris "DeathDonkey" Vitch, Chuck "danzasmack" Danielsson, and Jay "KRANTZ" Rosenkrantz as the executive officers.[4][3][5] Jay Rosenkrantz is a minor celebrity from the G4TV series 2 Months 2 Million. In November 2009, Jay's co-star Dani "Ansky" Stern joined Deucescracked as an executive producer after leaving a rival training site, PokerSavvyPlus.[6] Vanessa Selbst, an executive producer for the site, is a WSOP bracelet holder.

On 9 July 2009, DeucesCracked hosted a fund-raising Connect Four competition and auction, raising money for the Lili Claire Foundation.[7][8] The event was hosted at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas and raised over $20,000.

In January 2010, DeucesCracked presented the Aussie Millions Academy.[9] The series of live seminars covered several game variants and followed the Aussie Millions tournament schedule.

Seasons

In January 2008, DeucesCracked relaunched their website.[3] Training videos were produced in 8-part series, and each series was part of a video season.[10] DeucesCracked has produced video series covering a variety of poker games, including, No Limit Texas Hold'Em, Limit Texas Hold'Em, Pot Limit Omaha, 2-7 Triple Draw, Stud Hi, Stud 8-or-Better, and Razz. It has also produced material covering H.O.R.S.E., 8-game, and 7-game mix. In 2010 the users of DeucesCracked nominated the video series Eightfold Path to Poker Enlightenment with Tommy Angelo and Wayne Lively as the Best Overall Series.[11]
