Customer Reviews

Very solid book - recommended
I have to disagree with the 'dont be fooled' review - this is a very solid book full of good advice, specific mechanical and theoretical arguments and advice.

It will not show you how to make £30,000 a month.

It will give you a very well thought out foundation for consistently beating SnG's - and that's well worth a few quid.

So if we are rating the accuracy of the title - fair enough, you do have to add a lot of skill and experience beyond what you get in the book.

If we are rating the contents of the book - buy it!

Well worth the money
First off, this book is slim. Unlike other poker books, you don't have to scan through 100's of pages to absorb 10 pages worth of strategy. Also, unlike other books, you can apply the lessons immediately. The big advantage (for me anyway, becuase I am lazy) is that winning techniques are based on mathematical advantage at each step, without having to understand the mathematics. Also, the book has allowed me to optimise my sniffer software that I bought ages ago, but haven't really used to any potential. So has it worked? I have applied all of the recommended strategies for step 1, and I am currently showing 25% ROI and 50% ITM (In the money). The book recommends Party Poker, but I am playing Full Tilt as there are more US players who will go all-in with cheese. The down side (to the strategy, not the book) is that you spend a lot more of your time folding - for example, step 1 recommends folding AKos, AQs etc., hands I would normally raise with! But it does work. The boredom of folding is somewhat reduced if you adopt the multi-tabling stratgey - I am currently playing four tables at once. All in all, highly recommended - for the first time I am actually taking money out rather than reloading every month.

What a waste of an hour.
In the first 22 pages it recommends you buy 4 different computer programs with a total cost of around $250. In the 1 hour it took me to read this I found no advise or strategy that you cant find for free on websites.
