this book was poorly written and was not helpful to me either as a beginner or intermediate or advanced Tx Holdem Poker Player. Waste of money.
Rating: 1 / 5
It is a book with all the basics you need to start playing Texas holdem. But nothing new, so i give it 3 stars.

I went through a phase were I truly believed I was getting ready for competition poker. So I bought the latest books on the subject and I immersed myself in the process of becoming a powerful poker player. This book was one of my choices and it offered a considerable amount of good information. After reading this book I read another and yet another till one day I put them all away and promised myself I would get back to them for the essential second reading. I never did but then again I live so far from Las Vegas that my motivation is small. My moment under the sun is not here yet but as soon as conditions are favorable I almost can bet I will be a force to be reckoned with in the competitive world of Texas Hold’em for Dummies!! 4 Stars and you people better watch out because I am coming, I’m coming to a table near you! I even scared myself on that last remark! Go Go Go!!!

I really know nothing about poker whatsoever, and after reading this book I know the basics. A lot of it was over my head, because I’m really not looking to play in a casino setting, and that’s what a lot of it talked about. I did pick up some great tips though and for the price, it was worth the purchase.

Skimmed the book for about 1 hour. Increased my winnings by 25%. Best book in the business.
