5.0 out of 5 stars I never knew Texas Hold-um was so easy to learn.
Prior to buying this book, I had always wanted to learn to play Texas Hold-Um but was afraid it would be too difficult to master. I am intimated no more!! This book really broke down the basics of the game in a fast, easy to use way. In fact, I was playing, having fun, and winning a few pots the very day after I finished reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a Beliver!, October 30, 2005
This review is from: Play Winning Poker In No Time (Paperback)
I had only played Texas Hold Em a couple of times with the family, so I bought this book before entering my first poker tournament -- mostly to avoid humiliation. I did far better than that. I've finished in the top third (out of 50) and was the last woman standing all three times I've played since reading it.

After watching me play, the Tournament Director said, "I've got to see this book!". After looking through it he said, "No wonder. Everything you need to know to succeed is right here." As a result, my more experienced poker-playing husband even read some key chapters and has been finishing in the money as well.

Playing Winning Poker is an extremely easy read and valuable tips are well reinforced in the margins. I've given copies to several family members and friends, and now they swear by it as well. Thanks for helping us finish in the chips!

This review is from: Play Winning Poker In No Time (Paperback)
If you follow the advice in "Play Winning Poker In No Time" and play poker you will lose. A tip-off should be the title. Serious players can spend a lifetime attempting to play winning poker and never succeed. In No Time comes complete with huge errors, for example, the author gives her version of the rules of Texas Hold em. "Players win by forming the best five-card hand using their two hole cards and three of the community cards." In fact, a player may use any five-card combination from the board and personal cards. A player may even use all of the boardcards and no personal cards to form a hand (play the board). This means all the chapters in this book on assessing table position, evaluating your starting hand and so forth are flawed. Go ahead and use the book. I look forward to playing against you.
