We only went to the one class, but it was well attended.
It's not as basic as "you get dealt 5 cards". He teaches the "rules". He'll put up an example hand - you have to tell him what you hold and WHY (that WHY part will really make you think). I'm pretty sure you'll learn something - and if not, you'll only have invested about an hour and a half (he also gives away door prizes!).
I don't know if he does it the same way now, but he'll have a class on Double Double Bonus, for example. After the first class, he'll have an "advanced" class on the same game - these really are advanced and sometimes focuses on "penalty" cards and exact strategies.
