This book is flat out terrible. If you need a book to tell you starting hand rankings that would be obvious to even a novice, go ahead and buy it. If you are looking for sound advice skip this one. The grammar was so poor I decided to see what editor would possibly allow the mistakes, surprise the author published it himself. ...

Apparently well-intentioned but inept presentation, this is
a step backward in poker publishing. The English syntax alone
is disqualifying. Disappointing, because the world needs a
great book about low-limit high-low split.

I'm not sure if this book is a joke, but if it's not, it should be.

It's obviously written by someone who doesn't speak english. I could get by the absolutely horrible grammar, punctuation, spelling, and incomprehensible english if the advice it was offering was of any value. It's simply not. Here's a quick excerpt:

Taking a brake

as a player you can take a brake at any time remember its your money whether you want to stretch your legs . or go to the rest room or going to eat or what ever reason you just go . but remember to inform the dealer that you are coming back some times players just go and don't come back for an hour when they do come back they find there seat is taking well you must remember there are other players waiting to get in the game .

The punctuation, spelling, capitalization and spacing are exact quotes from the book. I just quickly opened to a random page and typed it in.

My family bought this for me for a Christmas present. I'll certainly be returning it and following whatever means are necessary to complain about this book being for sale on amazon.

This may be the worst poker book ever written. The stylistic problems are legion. If that was the only problem, I could overlook it. The fact is that there is simply no useful, understandable information to be found here. You're better off with Sklanksy, Malmuth, Jones or Krieger.
