This review is from: The Big Book of Poker : A big,easy, and fun guide to winning (Paperback)

This was the first of four poker books that I've read (The Big Poker Book, Super Systems II; and Sklansky's books: The Theory of Poker, and Hold'Em Poker for Advanced Players). The Big Poker book was an excellent primer, and starts with the right message, "poker isn't about winning or losing but making the best possible decision with the information you have."

I like the writer's style, you get the sense that he is a real person not a professor or prima donna. The other books are much more technical, and easy to get bogged down in.

After watching the WSOP, I was itching to go all-in but the book gets you thinking about the fundamentals. A good read ...

This review is from: The Big Book of Poker : A big,easy, and fun guide to winning (Paperback)

Purely descriptive book written to get money from custommers. After I read it I still did not know how to play poker. A lot of unuseful information. For example, short chapter about holdem ends "If you want to learn how to play holdem buy my next book".
