2.0 out of 5 stars
Not totally dreadful, April 9, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Awesome Profits: From Kitchen Poker Table to Tournament Final Table (Paperback)
I've got a lot of gambling books. Not as many as some but quite a bit. The main focus of my collection is poker. For starters, let me say that most of the books on Amazon are way overrated. The Sklansky/Malmuth books along with a few others (Cooke, Caro, Brunson, Zee) excepted. So while this book gets a low ranking from me it is probably better than most. Most of the information is more or less correct as far as it goes. It does not go nearly far enough. It tries to cover too many different forms of poker and ends up not doing a good job on any of them. To make up for the lack of detailed exposition of concepts and the ways they interrelate there is too much emphasis on charts and starting hand guidelines.

Very good overview of the most popular poker games. Filled with good basic information it will be helpful to the novice and the good player.
