Although I've had poser for several years and recently upgraded to Poser 10 - not pro - I have hardly used it because personally I find it "clumsy" to use (the best word I could think of) I recently tested the VWD cloth sim which requires me to use Poser and I'm afraid it just confirmed my dislike for the program. But the good news is, I understand and hopefully not too distant, VWD will have a version of the Cloth and Hair simulator to work with Carrara. No Poser required. By the way - Mark makes awesome tutorials and if you haven't got his early ones for Carrara I recommend them - If they overlap with Phil's subjects then they do so from a different perspective and he in fact covers things which Phil doesn't.
