If you play limit holdem, particularly live, this book is a must read. Roy Cooke is a well known expert player, and his review of several dozen hands, what he was thinking about, the factors which went into whatever play he chose is invaluable. He walks you through how an expert player views specific players, and specific situations, always emphasizing that the situation can change a fold into a raise, a call into a fold, etc. Slightly less useful for online players, but the same factors do still apply. The format of using individual hands to discuss concepts is fantastic. The book itself is a compilation of columns he wrote for Card Player magazine.

This one of three collections of Roy Cooke's columns from Cardplayer magazine available. Mr. Cooke is a top notch Vegas pro who also served as PokerStar's card room manager at one time. His writing is filled with nuance, humor, and a lifetime's worth of experience and can only improve your game while providing great entertainment.
