52 Tips for Texas Hold 'em Poker [Paperback]

Barry Shulman (Author), Mark Gregorich (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 30, 2005

One of the fascinating aspects about Hold'Em is its dual nature. The game is both incredibly simple and incredibly complex. If you have watched any "World Poker Tour" (WPT) broadcast, you have heard Hold'Em described as a game that takes a minute to learn and a lifetime to master. That is really true, and a large part of the appeal of the game is that you can sit down and learn how to play almost immediately. This book provides someone who has played little or no limit Hold'Em with a sound basic strategy that will add to both his enjoyment of the game and his bottom line. You must walk before you can run, and this book teaches those first steps.

Editorial Reviews

Review

I recommend Card Player's book to every poker player who wants to improve their play. -- Mike Sexton, World Poker Tour

I've read seven strategy books on the game, and this is the best, hands down. -- Dallas Star Telegram

The one and only thing (this book) will do is make you a better player. -- Daniel Negreanu, 2004 Player of the Year

This book will prove a valuable addition to bookshelves of experienced players, but it’s also designed for neophytes. -- Suburban Chicago News

From the Author

This is truly the Golden Age of hold’em. If there is one form of poker to learn or to specialize in, it’s hold’em. Not only will you find more games to choose from, but the players in these games tend to be less knowledgeable and experienced than those in other forms of poker, like seven-card stud. Simply put, hold’em games should be easier to beat than other games just because that’s what everyone is playing.

I received this book as a gift, along with a subscription to Card Player Magazine. I have to say that like the magazine, this book is GREAT!

I am fairly new to poker, but my results improved almost immediately after I incorporated the strategies from Shulman's book.

52 TIPS FOR TEXAS HOLD'EM is simple and concise. It provides someone who has played little or no Hold'em with a sound basic strategy that will add to both his enjoyment of the game and his bottom line. Best of all, it presents a strategy that helps you steer clear of many of the common pitfalls in Hold'em, pitfalls that can quickly erode your cash. Staying out of potentially dangerous situations is very important to a new player like me.

I believe that all players will find benefits to their game by reading this book, since a true mastery of poker involves not only learning concepts, but also remembering and putting them into practice.

If you are an avid poker book reader and player you will find some very useful and profitable tips here. Not the greatest book on holdem but one of those reminder books that gets you thinking about the little things you did or didn't do the last time you played. I actually put a couple of the tips on index cards and set them next to the computer last time I played online. All in all a very helpful book and an easy read.
