Summary: Helped me immensely
Comment: I am just now picking up Texas Hold em even though I played for several years using my own intuitions and lost a bundle. This book has made the game much easier to play for me because now I have excellent guiding principles. Burton's style of writing is to the point and he sprinkles a lot of personal anecdotes in the book that really help us to get a feel for the game.

Summary: An OK introduction to Low Limit Hold'em - there are better
Comment: This book may be good for a player with absolutely no poker experience, or a player who wants to be able to keep his/her head above water a little longer at the tables while on a yearly trip to Vegas or Atlantic City. However, if you already know how to play Texas Hold'em and are looking to improve your game, there are a few books that are better than this one.
This book is very dry and flat. It is an interminable list of, "do this, don't do this, except what that happens". It reads like a buddy giving you advice on how to play.
However, there is really no logical way to digest all of this information. The information is useless if you can't recall it, and the way this is written it would be difficult for anyone to be able to use the advice without the book next to them to look it up whenever a particular situation comes up.
In my opinion, this occurs because Mr. Burton never really never goes into depth about why you should or shouldn't make a particular play. He does to a point, but never in a way that makes you think for yourself. He is just like a buddy that spoon feeds you advice without telling you the underlying how or why of a decision.
To be able to use any kind of advice, you need to be able to understand the underlying theory of the advice so you can make your own, well informed and educated decisions, not play like a robot. If you want to play systematically and unimaginatively, you'd be better off learning the basic strategy of blackjack and stick to that instead of poker. If you want a book that teaches you AND makes you think for yourself, check out Lee Jones' book.

Summary: The new "Must Read!" for beginning players......
Comment: There are many books available on this subject, but this one just might be the definitive work for those who are just starting out!
Not only is it incredibly informative, it is also both easy and fun to read! It chronicles Bill's first-time journey into the world of Hold 'em Poker, detailing the learning process and ups and downs of the game.
Having read just about every other book available on this subject, I can honestly say that this one presents new information and insight into this apparently simple, but incredibly complex game.
There is a world of mis-information circulating regarding the game of poker vis-à-vis "casino gambling in general.
If you are one of those who believe that poker falls under the general heading of "gambling", then this is a "MUST READ" for you!
As you make the journey with Bill, you will discover that, indeed, poker is a game of skill, not pure chance or blind luck, and that once you master the requisite skills, you too can be one of the few players who can be a long-term winner at this game.
Whether you are serious about mastering the skill, or simply want to expand your general knowledge base, this book will greatly assist in both!
