Synopsis
This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date guide on internet poker ever published. It is a brilliantly-researched, authoritative how-to, covering every aspect of a phenomenon that has exploded across the web in the last six months - online poker. Veteran gambling author Victor H. Royer is back and he's applying his legendary smarts to the wildfire phenomenon of Internet poker. Using direct experience as an online poker player as well as a game analyst and theorist, Royer explains the most popular Internet poker games and outlines the must-have attributes that differentiate the winners from the wannabes. Royer guides readers through the sometimes confusing world of online poker with aplomb, outlining techniques for finding the best sites and games, avoiding dummy sites and traps and playing at the high speeds demanded by Internet gaming. He demystifies online poker terminology and offers quick, practical advice on everything from a simple "how to start playing" all the way up to strategies and wrinkles for advanced finessing and multiple plays. An indispensable companion to a new style of gambling.

Customer Reviews

Disappointing
I was disappointed with this book as it gives you very little advice about playing actual hands. The only main advice is does give regarding starting hands refers to a previous book, which is unhelpful. Some of the starting hands the author recommends are ridiculous and would cause players to lose a lot of money. One wonders if the author is deliberately trying to encourage people to play very weak hands.

It is also biased towards just two sites and fails to adequately discuss and give advice regarding what I believe is currently the best internet poker site

Perhaps it's main redeeming feature is the timely article on internet gambling.

Powerful Profits from Internet Poker
A useful guide that covers all types of online internet games. The book branches into strategy for all types of games as well as discussing the unique challenges faced by online players. Especially at low limit tables. An interesting if not ground breaker read for beginners.
