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.
Since 2009, the podcast DeucePlays has been hosted by Bart Hanson, which airs weekly at DeucesCracked. The show typically includes strategy discussion and an interview with a prominent member of the poker community; several members of the site have featured as guests, as have other notable players including Tommy Angelo, Matt Flynn, Terrence Chan, Andrew Robl, Justin "Boosted J" Smith, Dan Harrington, Cole South, Phil Galfond, David Peat, and Bobby Hoff. Until December 2008, Bart hosted PokerRoad Radio at PokerRoad.com, but was replaced by Ali Nejad.[10] Until 3 December 2008, he also hosted a second podcast at PokerRoad.com, Cash Plays; Jeremiah Smith has hosted Cash Plays since February 2009.
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.[11] 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.[12]
