Product Description
Texas Hold em is not an easy game to play well. To become an expert you must balance many concepts, some of which occasionally contradict each other. In 1988, the first edition appeared. Many ideas, which were only known to a small, select group of players, were made available to anyone who was striving to become an expert, and the hold em explosion had begun. It is now a new century, and the authors have again moved the state of the art forward by adding over 100 pages of new material, including extensive sections on "loose games," and "short-handed games." Anyone who studies this text, is well disciplined, and gets the proper experience should become a significant winner. Some of the other ideas discussed include play on the first two cards, semi-bluffing, the free card, inducing bluffs, staying with a draw, playing when a pair flops, playing trash hands, desperation bets, playing in wild games, reading hands, and psychology.

It's Limit Hold 'Em August 19, 2010
I'm Just Saying. (So Cal)
It's just like his other works (theory of poker, etc.) and it shared many of the same topic in his other work. The title is deceptive because it's pretty much all about Limit Hold Em but the title (just as many other books out there) doesn't specify what it's really all about.
 It is about LIMIT Holdem June 14, 2010
Z. Vaitiekunas
The book is written in good style but it is about limit holdem poker. I haven't noticed that - it is not written anywhere in summary, you can find that only in comments.
 Necessary reading for any serious limit holdem player May 25, 2010
Gioco Carta (Italy)
If you are a serious limit holdem player this always has been required reading but it has become more and more a study in the history of holdem in recent years. Changes in playing style and improvements in general play make it more of an intermediate read than the first step to serious advanced play that it was when first published. Still, if you want to understand how older players got to where they are today, reading this is an absolute must. On the other hand, if you follow the advice in this book you will be a certain slow loser at today's higher stakes tables. I bought a new copy because I loaned my old copy and it isn't coming back. I still look at it from time to time but with a very different eye than when I first read it. Without a doubt, it is a classic of poker play literature.
Good Stuff. February 10, 2010
Colin Hofman
Maybe not as well known as other books, ie: Super System, but I really enjoyed this book and I like the Authors. Not much more to say. If you want to get good/better at poker without laying all the money out for experience, get this book. Its price is nothing compared to its teachings. Take care and GL to all.
Technically Perfect December 8, 2009
Carolyn B. Queen (Louisville, KY)
If I were to write a book, I would hope is was as well organized as this one, which is true to form for these guys. I would venture to guess that the contents of this book started out as a bull session with these two guys passing remarks back and forth with a tape recorder faithfully humming along in the background. And then, after it was transcribed, they went to work on it.
If you are a stickler for details, this book will provide them. I have read other books by these two authors, and was glad I came back for more. However, beware, the title really means what it says - unless you truly are advanced, you may begin to wonder what hit you hit you before you finish the first chapter.
