Others say...
"Got me into the game" I didn't know how to play poker until this year. I learned the rules and played a little online, but had no idea what I was doing. I picked up Texas Hold'em For Dummies and started practicing more and more online. A couple of weeks ago I was at a casino and decided to take a seat at a real poker table.
I was nervous when I sat down and was sure I would make a lot of mistakes. I remembered the advice and strategy from this book, played my hands according to the Harlan and Derossi rules, and found that I was winning pots. In three hours of play I doubled my money and felt a lot more confident about playing poker, both real-world and online.
This is a great book to learn the basics from, and it gives the beginning player a framework for learning. It's not just a lot of rules and lists, though; there are explanations for everything the authors advise, and plenty of real-life anecdotes.
This book taught me how to play poker and gave me the confidence to actually play the game.
"Excellent reading for beginning-intermediate players" Harlan's text is light and fun to read, yet very useful, concise and to the point. Differently than other poker books that scare you away by starting off with a lot of math and statistics and pot odds, Harlan goes through many other important and interesting poker stuff such as optimal starting hands, betting strategy for each round and table position, reading your opponents, different sorts of game - home, online, casino - before spaeking abouth the math (which, byt he way, he does in a very agreeable way, keeping it simple and straightforward - maybe because he knows his stuff - he is an applied math degree). the book also has easy to follow examples and real life anecdotes, keeping all that poker theory closer to what the average player will encounter at next Saturday's $10 poker night over his friends. It's definitely the first book on Texas Holdem you should buy, and you'll learn an awful lot from it.
"Thumbs Up for Texas Hold'em For Dummies" A great boof for beginners! I have just started plating poker and this book has really helped me understand the game!
Also, provides some neat strategies.
"Enjoyable and easy read" This book was a nice read and I really enjoyed some of the information that was presented in this one. Some information was new that other books, including ones that claim to teach you the secrets of the pros, decided to leave out. My only complaint is, that it being a For Dummies books makes a lot of references to "We'll cover this later" or "Head back to Chapter 7 for a review on this "
"a Dummy's perspective " Prefacing these remarks with the fact that I know very little about any type of card game (except Crazy Eights, Old Maid and Gin Rummy) I found this book both informative and entertaining. Mr. Harlan has a way with words that educates us Dummies in a manner that is not condescending in the least. His stated assumptions that we understand the basis of a normal deck of playing cards, plus simple but detailed descriptions of how play advances at the table, make this volume an enjoyable read. The sidebar stories and trivia tidbits are classic Harlan; in fact, the reader could ignore the main text and just read the anecdotal information to learn a LOT about the game. I received the book as a gift; it is a welcome addition to my library.

What our customer's say!
"Didnt like this book", this book was poorly written and was not helpful to me either as a beginner or intermediate or advanced Tx Holdem Poker Player. Waste of money.
"WOW", Skimmed the book for about 1 hour. Increased my winnings by 25%. Best book in the business.
"Book on Texas Hold'em", A book titled Texas Hold'em for Dummies.....I got this for my husband who was learning to play the poker game. He had checked out a few books at the library and then I gave him this one. He said it was the best that he had read.
"Worth the money", I really know nothing about poker whatsoever, and after reading this book I know the basics. A lot of it was over my head, because I'm really not looking to play in a casino setting, and that's what a lot of it talked about. I did pick up some great tips though and for the price, it was worth the purchase.
"Excellent guide", I am a big fan of televised Texas hold'em, but when I started playing with a group of collegues, I realized this is a tricky game. Texas Hold'em for Dummies is a simple-stupid book that teaches you everything required to survive at the poker table. Easy to understand, plenty of examples, and a great reference if you forget anything. I gived this book two thumbs up-

"Best comprehensive reference on texas hold em!", As a reference that covers all aspects of the game, this book cannot be beat. It is easy to read, yet packed with information, and everything is here, including pre-flop, flop, turn, and river play, the importance of position, pot odds, raising, check-raising, bluffing, semi-bluffing, starting hand values, analyzing and playing to your opponents, the different types of players (tight vs. loose, passive vs. aggressive), bankroll management, internet vs. casino play, and more.
There are other books that cover some of these aspects of play, but I have found no other book that describes them in a manner that is this easy to understand while having plenty of detail at the same time.
This is definitely one of the first poker books that you should read, and I am certain that you will find this to be a useful reference. I can see this as being a resource that I will refer to often as I continue to learn the game and build my experience.
"More then worth some bets ;-)", Very easy to read and a lot of tips. Even if you know nothing of Texas Hold'em (like I did) you understand it within the first few pages. And he slowly but surely further and deeper into the subject to a point where real advanced strategies come in to place.
Also his sense of humor helps a lot. I really stopped reading a few times cause I couldn't stop laughing. When someone can make me laugh because of what he wrote, for me you are a very good writer then.
After I read this one I also bought the another book of Mark Harlan, called Winning at Internet Poker For Dummies®. It was written in the same way as this book but with (as the titlte suggest) internet poker as its subject. It shows the differences with poker in the Real World.
After I read his books I started playing tournaments online and started with the real low tournaments. It is amazing how his tips work. I allmost won back his book in chips.
To conclude the review: I hope no-one buy this book as they will clearly become better players and cost me money ;-)

"Real bang for the buck", Harlan's first book Winning at Internet Poker For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) is the book that turned me from a losing player to a winning player. I bought this book as soon as it hit the shelves and I was not disappointed. Since his first book I have bought and studied over a dozen texas hold'em books and like the one reviewer said "nothing new". Well duh it is a for dummies book, but Harlan brings it all together in a unique fashion and he covers the basics to some advanced concepts that I have only seen in one or two other books.
Harlan has a point he drives home repeatedly: know your enemy. "If you can identify the traits of your opponents, and interpret the way those traits are presented to you at the table, you've found the master key to the game. Make no mistake about it, understanding your opponents at the table is THE most important aspect of poker."
I have found a couple holes in the way I present MYSELF at the table, and I am more able to see things in others.
Don't let the title sway you. This book's a winner, and for the low price the best bang for your buck in any poker book I've seen. I can honestly say that Harlan's books have been worth thousands of dollars in profit to me at the tables. If you are serious about winning you should add Harlan's books to your library.
"Back to basics", It is a book with all the basics you need to start playing Texas holdem. But nothing new, so i give it 3 stars.
"My boyfriend loves this book", great resource for those who want to improve their game. Easy to read format, excellent tips
