This is my first book on poker I have ever read. However, my copy is physically flawed. My copy goes up to page 176 and then repeats itself back to pp. 129-176! So, one-fifth of my book is duplicated. (This is the sixth printing dated May 2003) I bought this from the “used” section and by all appearances, it looked “like new”. Oh well. Mistakes happen.

This was a very Enjoyable Book. It provided important and useful concepts about the game of Poker. I learned new concepts, which identified some leaks in my game. Leaks in your game can come from anywhere!!! Leaks can originate from lack of aggression, overcalling raises, misreading opponents and any other number of ways. So this book helps. Many people look at poker the wrong way. They think to win they need to do all of this super fancy plays and mindblowing stunts. Well folks…there are not that many options in poker…you fold, call or raise. So its really hard to do thinks that will just fool your opponents all the time. To win at poker it is mostly limiting your mistakes and getting all that you can from winning hands and minimizing losses on losing hands…that’s it
Ive been playing for about 5 years now and love the game. Ive read many poker books and found this one to be very good. So I would suggest you buy this book and maybe a couple others and get to playing. There’s really no excuse anymore – since anyone can access the internet.

If you watched rounders and now think you can go out and beat the world at poker then by all means buy this book, and lose your money to me. I have not read the complete book, but the areas I have read are weak. The suugestions on the kind of players to play against are horrible. Dealers uasualy know the game, they watch it all the time see the winning players and learn fronm them. Just because someone is young under 25 does not make them a good opponet, I’m only 22 and win often in the games I play in. Save your money and buy Lee Jones book Winning At low-limit Holdem. Otherwise waste your money on this book.

This books is very readable. The starting hand recommendations are solid and the advice on how to play each one of these hands gets you thinking the right way. Some of his statistics are off and some of the computer research is not very useful but the remainder is good information for the starting player.
