Gamblers who are unsure of all the rules of a casino game or want to understand the basic concepts of when to hold'em and when to fold'em will find the information in this text to be useful. However, once the simplistic directions in this book are mastered, you will have to move up to more thorough and specific books aimed at one particular game.

By trying to cover all casino games, only cursory attention is given to mastering any of them. Therefore, with this book under your arm, you will be able to confidently walk into a casino and know that you are above-average at any table, but an expert at none.

For a beginner, this book is a good starting point to casino poker. Most of the in-depth material is on Hold'em and 7 card stud, but the book does skim over some lesser-played games too. If you're curious about getting into the game, the price is right.

This is an excellent book. It contains a great deal of information about what to expect when you enter a casino, the games to play and those to avoid, ettiquette etc. In addition to all this casino-based information it also has a wealth of knowledge on the games themseleves (hold-em, 7 card-stud, Hi-Lo variations, omaha and more) and at this price it is an absolute bargain. Perhaps the only area in which the book needs improvement is its information on tells and psychology.

I knew how to play Texas Hold 'em and 7 card stud, but I did not realize how much skill there was in each game. This book is easy reading and teaches you to to be sucessful at the different poker games in a casino. The book more than paid for itself in the winnings I made. Great for beginners or advanced players.

I grant that this book does not look like much, but inside are concise pages packed with common sense and advice on how to become a better poker player; which is precisely what many readers need. In keeping with the trends of our day, the type of poker that the majority of this book discusses is Texas Hold 'Em as it the game most often played in casinos. Silberstang is obviously a serious gambler who asserts at the beginning that we play the game for one reason alone: to make money. I read another commentator who disparaged him for this implication, but I agree with Silberstang. Yes, it's fun and it feels good to learn something new and excel at it, but, ultimately, bringing the chips to the spot in front of you is the ultimate high. I like the voice of this narrator. He's hardened and tough; exactly what we expect and respect about the game. There's no "grand strategy" here. It's the basics, but it certainly helped me. I paid less than six bucks for it, which makes The Winner's Guide the best value on Amazon.

ed it's me tyler my love how you been sorry for the disappointments your book is a star sweet bee
