Product Description
Stop wasting your time trying to win bad hands, but focus and attack when you have the cards to do so! This book will tell you how.
The 154 pages of poker instruction are divided into five categories of tips. They include Playing Before the Flop, Playing on the Flop, Playing on the Turn, Playing on the River and More Hold’em Concepts You Should Know. The 52 tips educate Texas Hold’em players to improve both the mechanics of their game and bolster their mental capacities.
The tips are structured into five categories: Playing Before the Flop, Playing on the Flop, Playing on the Turn, Playing on the River and More Hold’em Concepts You Should Know. Some of the more intriguing topics include “Tip 1 — A tight-aggressive playing style gets the money in hold’em, Tip 3 — Be aware of pot odds at all times and Tip 45 — Playing a long-shot hand on the river.”
Of special interest, the chart at the end of the book shows the odds of hitting the hand you want on the turn, or on the river
As the previous poster said this book is only handy if it’s a gift. I read this book in quite a short time (about 30 minutes) it was quite an interesting read but whether it was worth purchasing is questionable.
Tip 1 – Don’t write a book when we have no idea who you are
Tip 2 – Don’t give tips when you yourself aren’t successful using them.
Tip 3-52 – 5 minus 2 = 3 , 3-3 = zero , zero is the number of useful tips in this book.

This book is for beginners, and even then you would be much better off getting another book. I started out with an Internet Poker guide, and moved onto Harrington on Holdem I and II.
Pass on this book unless you have never played poker in your life.

I received this book as a gift, along with a subscription to Card Player Magazine. I have to say that like the magazine, this book is GREAT!
I am fairly new to poker, but my results improved almost immediately after I incorporated the strategies from Shulman’s book.
52 TIPS FOR TEXAS HOLD’EM is simple and concise. It provides someone who has played little or no Hold’em with a sound basic strategy that will add to both his enjoyment of the game and his bottom line. Best of all, it presents a strategy that helps you steer clear of many of the common pitfalls in Hold’em, pitfalls that can quickly erode your cash. Staying out of potentially dangerous situations is very important to a new player like me.
I believe that all players will find benefits to their game by reading this book, since a true mastery of poker involves not only learning concepts, but also remembering and putting them into practice.
