This book is more like a quick money making scam by someone cashing in on the surge of poker book sales. He offers absolutely nothing of benefit at all. There is page after page of filler. I honestly felt like a sucker after reading this book. The author is a business man and he is the only person that benefits from his book.
Buy harrington on hold'em - by far the best of all the books that I've read.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book offers nothing to the poker literature, November 3, 2006

This review is from: Make a Million from Online Poker: The Surefire Way to Profit from the Internet's Coolest Game (Paperback)

This book might be the most useless book I have ever read on poker. It offers nothing in terms of strategy or content that isn't available in just about any standard poker book on the market. The "enlightening" real world examples of internet pros also offered nothing, such as successful strategies they might use, etc.

Save your time and money and invest in a book like Killer Poker Online instead. This book was so bad I actually threw it out after reading it, which is something I never do.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring and worthless, November 23, 2006

This review is from: Make a Million from Online Poker: The Surefire Way to Profit from the Internet's Coolest Game (Paperback)

No new knowledge to be found here. Several places in the book there are errors, e.g. did you know that QTo vs QTo is 67% percent to win? Pages and pages of example hands with percentage to win calculations that I wouldn't trust anyway. Move along, nothing to see here. Went through whole book in 30 minutes, could have done that at borders for free.
