    This book is the best. The starting hand guide and explanation of the same on pages 64 and 65 are a stroke of genius. If one follows the guidelines the title of the book becomes a reality.

    I ordered 4 more copies of this book to give to my sons and friend since it is no longer in print

    So I just rented this book from the library and finished reading it. It was very well written in easy to understand terms. It was quite insightful, but there was nothing really groundbreaking in here.

    Btw, it focuses primarily on limit holdem and 7 card stud.

    This is a great book for people starting out with poker. I learned a lot from it quickly and I stopped bleeding money on the online poker sites!

  4. If you get one book to help you learn the game of poker, make it this one. Scharf’s theories on low-limit poker are outstanding, and the best part is, they work! If you play the way this guy tells you to play, you WILL be successful at low-limit poker. Excellent readability and the spiral binding makes it fun to read. The book also teaches you to be more patient and to just accept the down times of your poker playing. I was a good player before reading this book, but now I am even better after reading it. Thanks “Rambling Dave”

    This book takes a quick casual look at certain facets of low limit Hold’em, and sprinkles in some Omaha and Stud for good measure. This $10 book has helped me net over $400 in poker winnings online and in a casino in the last 2 months, never higher than $2/$4 stakes. The starting hand table is absolutely necessary for beginners, and easy to master. Once you see how well it works, you’ll be ready for the more advanced texts about tells, betting strategy, etc. A must-read for anyone who wants to change their bad card luck, and only play when the odds are in their favor!
