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.

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.

The best Texas Hold 'Em book ever! Read and re-read it over and over. Your game will improve substantially.

I suppose an editor should be able to write, but this is low on the list of helpful books - you might pick up one or two ideas, but you are better off spending your money on Phil Gordon, or even better - Dan Harrington's books

As the title suggests its a series of tips for Texas Hold'Em Poker. Good ones at that. This is the perfect book for a beginner to an intermediate player. I recommend this book if you want polish your playing skills. There are many other books for the professional poker players like Super System I & II. If you are a intermediate poker player read this book. It will give you the technical tips you need to play, and then read Phil Hellmuth Presents Read 'Em and Reap: A Career FBI Agent's Guide to Decoding Poker Tells. It attacks the body tells that are the other half of the poker equation. I do recommend this book ("Read'em and Reap" By Joe Navarro) if you are serious about poker.

Another easy to understand and concise book from the publisher of poker's premier magazine/website: CardPlayer. I really enjoyed Shulman's first book, a book I credit my success to. It transformed me into a consistently winning player.

This second book is just as good, if not better. It has really helped me solidify my No-Limit poker skill set, which is a bit more nuanced from the Limit version of the game. Incorporating the tips from this book will elevate your poker game, and help you grasp some of the more complicated concepts of this great American pastime. Your home games will never be the same.
