Nice tips in an everyday style. But not very hard or precise.

A great book to learn the beginning strategies of No Limit Texas Hold 'Em.

Excellent

This is a great book for beginners and intermediate level players, who would like to learn and improve their game.

2.5 stars. Decent primer for beginners. Some strategies are outdated.

Interesting book to understand a complex game

Very interesting. Very helpful. But a bit mind-boggling.

Key thing that is missing is how to put your opponent on a hand. Starts a lot of scenarios with "say you put your opponent on a small pocket pair..." or "say you've put your opponent on AQ or AK..." He doesn't offer a lot of direct help with how to do this (admittedly, this is something that is not super teachable).

Here's the thing: reading about how to do better at something like playing poker is more boring than counting to a million; if you can get past about 600 or so without skipping a number or stopping, then congratulations, you're a calculator. And if by skimming this book and not finishing it I do worse at playing poker, then I'm okay with that.
