It is very well written and covers a lot of practical problems every player encounters at a poker table. The only thing which could be chances is the location of the problem chapters. It is easier to follow the author's ideas when a certain issue is followed by examples immediately and not at the end of a lenghty part of the book. All in all, however, a superb "textbook" prepared by a renowned professor for students who may never become professors but will certainly be able to cope with the tricky world of poker.

I like the diagrams and card drawings used in this book to illustrate the examples. I've won 2 low level tournaments and usually make it to the final 4 at my home games with friends. Some people that actually read about poker have already adapted to the strategies in this game, but it's still a solid foundation and you'll be ahead of those who never, "study", the game.

This book breaks down each scenario that could occur in the early stages of a poker tournament. The authors teach the reader how to calculate pot odds which I never knew before (which are how much it costs you to be part of a pot). This book has inspired me to try a poker tournament at my local casino. I believe anyone can learn to play hold 'em with this book and practice.
