Soon, poker players flying to their favorite poker rooms can pick up some tips while up in the air.
The online poker site The World Poker Exchange has teamed up with U.S Airways to include poker tutorial spots on Overture, the airline's award-winning in-flight entertainment program.
The 90-second instructional spots are taken directly from the World Poker Exchange's new tutorial DVD series, "In the Minds of the Poker Pros." The tutorial spots will run on all US Airways video-equipped flights that are two hours in length or more.
Each spot will feature insight into the best minds of poker. Professionals such as David Sklansky, Todd Brunson, Mike Matusow, and Kathleen Watterson will provide detailed analysis of real-life poker hands and situations, and pointers on how to play various hands. Fifteen spots will be available.
Passengers traveling from 25 domestic and international markets served by US Airways - including New York City, London, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and San Diego - will be able to watch the spots.
