Customer Reviews

Superb book on online poker
This is a superb book on online poker. I now have a huge collection of books on the subject of poker, and this one is the one I keep referring to.

If you take your online poker seriously, and most people should as the game is not a crap shoot or penny arcade, then this book is an affordable addition to your collection.

I found the book well written, and full of very useful content.
There are some basic maths here which are very cleverly constructed (the author used to be a bookmaker) and I found this section of the book particularly useful.

I have actually photocopied this section and have pasted it next to my computer that I play Texas Hold 'em on. I find this incredibly helpful when making decisions.

Well worth acquiring at a reasonable cover price plus the Amazon discount!

Well written guide to on line poker
This is a well written guide to online poker, and I particularly enjoyed the descriptions of the 3 featured players as well as the excellent section on the mathematics and odds compilations. I would recommend this book to any player, beginning or otherwise,who is considering playing online poker, especially at a high level.

Covers the very basics
I recommend this book if you are a complete novice looking to learn the basics of the game of poker. If I had read this book when I was just starting to play the game it would have been of some use and I would probably have learnt what I know now a little quicker.
However as an established online player (I've been playing for real money for 10 months now) I feel this book has added nothing to my understanding of the game and how it should be played. The content of the book is very basic and fails to elaborate any further.
The book focuses mainly on small stakes games and offers advice on how to be successful against bad players with very little advice on how to play high stakes tables against better quality opposition.
All of the advice in the book makes good sense but the concepts are hardly groundbreaking and to me seemed like common-sense rather than advanced tactics.
