52 Tips For No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em Poker [Paperback]

Barry Shulman (Author), Michael Weisenberg (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2006

This book picks up where "52 Tips for Texas Hold 'em" left off. The first "52 Tips" book focuses primarily on looking at your own hand and providing general rules for how to play it at various points in the progression of the hand. It is a wonderful specific beginning primer. The book assumes that you have much of that beginning knowledge, particularly which hands to play in what position, and adapts those strategies to no-limit. The book focuses on your hand and stack size relative to others at the table and shows how to adjust your play to those situations. No-limit hold'em is primarily situational, concerned more about what the other guy has and who he is than about your own hand. Here are 52 tips that will improve your no-limit hold'em game.

Actually this is not a bad book. I rather like the way Shulman breaks up his advice into "bite" sized tips. So the effect is reasonably readable, although if you are a reader of "Cardplayer" magazine you are probably familiar with the material.

I call attention to the so-called "reader" reviews in this section. Word usage fingerprint statistics make it very unlikely that more that 2 persons could have written the first five reviews. One claims that this book significantly improved his game. He writes this 2 days before the book was released!

Three of the "reviewers" have the same rather original thought. They point out that this book might improve your relationship with men in some way.

As of this date, none of the first five "reader reviewers" have ever given a rating to a book less than 5 stars. And four of these "independent reviewers" have also reviewed a book called "Trust" by Charles Epping. And guess what? They all gave it five stars.

This is not a bad book. But it would be exceptional for an honest reader-reviewer to give it five stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars very solid for a beginner/intermediate, November 14, 2007

I read this book about 6 months ago. I like tips style. You can read them quickly, and they're easy to understand; and they're easy to review. I have both books in the series. The part I liked the most in the No limit book...focusing the player on the idea that no limit is a game {especially in tournament play} of 'implied odds'...and what type of hands fit this play. I've recommended this book to my poker buddies who can't push themselves to read a Sklansky or Harrington book...mostly due to their length.

A waste of time for the intermediate or the advanced poker player, of some limited use for the beginer.
