For someone who has never played casino poker before, this CD is an excellent prepatory guide. Playing in a casino card room can be very intimidating for the first time, and by listening to this CD, a begining player can learn what to expect in less than an hour. As an experienced player, there wasn't very much in terms of new information and strategy for me, but I loaned the CD to a friend of mine who wanted to give casino poker a try, and he was able to walk in knowing what to expect and feeling far more comfortable than he would have otherwise.

While the strategy on the CD isn't as intensive and detailed as a good book on the subject, there's enough to help you get by for your first outing. What is extremely helpful for the novice is all the tips and pointers on the simple logistics of playing in a casino -- from buying chips to making your bets to handling your cards. I sincerely wish I had this CD before stepping into a casino for the first time. I would have definately been a lot more at ease.

I tend to like listening to material better than reading it. I was thrilled when I saw this audio cd released on the beginning play and strategies for Texas Hold'em. This cd was very helpful and comprehensive for getting started playing poker in a casino, and I also think it's great to be able to put the cd in your computer to view and study flashcards of starting hands, etc. This was very, very helpful, and now I'm ready to start studying more in depth material on Hold'em!

This book just skimmed the topic. There was very little info for anyone that knows the basic rules.
