5.0 out of 5 stars
Not for the serious player, but pretty good for most of us!,
By Cottonmather0 (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rules of Neighborhood Poker According to Hoyle (Paperback)
This is a great book for recreational players who are more interested in comraderie and smoking cigars than winning money. It provides good advice for hosting and setting up games and it provides a lot of good games and variations to help spice up the weekly game. I've always had problems coming up with new games and learned a lot from this book. This is also a good book for new player who wants to get into a regular group and is intimidated by regular players who seem to know everything about the game . There's a lot to learn. If you regularly play with the likes of Teddy KGB or that dude in the blue eyeglasses in Vegas, then this book isn't for you. But if you're just starting out and want to learn, this is a good source of valuable information.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This is the way I like to play poker,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rules of Neighborhood Poker According to Hoyle (Paperback)
This is not a book for "serious" poker players who are in it for the money. This is a book for those who love to play low stakes poker with their buddies for fun. Fun, get it? This is a hilarious book with a lot of great games. It will always be remembered among my poker pals as the book that introduced us to the grin-inducing game of "Do Ya."

4.0 out of 5 stars
Terrific, relaxed version for serious amateurs,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rules of Neighborhood Poker According to Hoyle (Paperback)
I bought this book as a resource and reference for some of my rule-challenging poker pals, but it turned out to be much more than that. The stories that Wolpin tells are laugh out loud funny, and he provides alot of basic information on the rules of Poker and variations on the game.
