2.0 out of 5 stars Spend your money on a better book -- or lose it at the table, September 25, 2000

This review is from: POKER, Omaha, High/Low Split, Intermediate (Paperback)

I've played a LOT of hold'em and omaha poker, and read most of the literature on these games, and this books simply does not stack up. It's advice is simplistic, and well-known to anyone who has played the game at all seriously. Not that there is anything wrong to a lot of the advice, it simply will not give you any edge. Far better are books by Tom McEvoy, Bob Ciaffione, and Ray Zee, which take a little more effort to master, but give some real insight. This wouldn't be a good book for anyone other than a beginner.

i found this book disappointing...it is not what i expected...very little real information...large print, few pages, no statistics on hand value...what is there is good advice...just not enough to improve a good player's game...very pricey for what you get...invest in one of the other authors if you take your poker seriously...

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Nelson, right on, AGAIN!, March 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: POKER, Omaha, High/Low Split, Intermediate (Paperback)

In my opinion as a long time player of Omaha, High/Low Split, Mr. Nelson's advice is top notch. He says to play solid cards in good position and you will win. Straight forward poker is what I call it. My records indicate that Mr. Nelson is absolutely correct. His advice on playing Omaha without an ace in your hand is foolishness. He cautions us to play carefully on the low side and raise when you have the high side nuts. Always remember that the low side is only about numbers while the high side has flushes, full houses and quads. Getting a quarter or a third of the pot on the low side does not make for a healthy bank roll. In short, Mr. Nelson, thanks for helping me play better Omaha!
