This is a nice cross section of various poker pros who have stood the test of time and they offer numerous ideas on strategy and tactics. Most of the advice is geared toward tournament play and many of the authors have published in other places. That said I found the book a good read and the delivery and style of the author made for an easy read. Profiles include Daniel Negreanu, Dan Harrington, Chris Ferguson, Mike Sexton, Marcel Luske and four others. I find it interesting to listen to various pros offer advice on the same game; some very different ideas and yet each has attained a good deal of success over many years using their unique approach to no limit tournaments. There is more than one way to play winning poker and you should find a number of good ideas to improve your game and thinking.

I liked this book and I liked the way it organized. Basically each chapter is written by different poker Pro, but the topics covered are the same.
So reader can see how different approaches work in poker.

In my opinion, it's only worth reading up to T.J.Cloutier's chapter. Everything else is wasted time and only makes the book heavier.
Liked the last chapter, uncovering the fact that the book was written by poker amateur and Boeing 747 pilot.

Love this book. If you play, whether it's a friendly or a smoker, this book can help your game with its insights from the players with the biggest stones. Those guys (gender agnostic) are legends and yet seemingly accessible - if only. Dunnett has done it. Even though I recommend it, I'm tempted to keep to myself and use it for the potential ill-gotten gains from less informed competitors.
