What our customer's say!

"Don'y buy this if you're after advice on NO LIMIT HOLDEM", Primarily for LIMIT HOLDEM not for no limit (which is my prefernace). This wasn't clear in the descriptive text.
Excellent for Limit PLayers, but essentially a very different game than "NO LIMIT". For No LIMIT POKER you can do alot better than this.

"Something You Cannot Read Just Once", This book is extremely good for gaining a solid foundation of Texas Hold 'em. I read it on and off for around 6 months and realized that while I learned some valuable lessons and picked up important bits of information I need to read it over and over again to truly take in everything that is being said. For me it is like a good movie that you see once and figure you saw it all only to watch it again and pick up something new, then a while later watch it again and see even more that was missed.

I highly recommend this book for students of the game. This is essential reading if you want to compete seriously. Even if you think you know it all and the book makes sense, read it carefully and understand that many serious players have read, re-read and learned significantly from this and the other classics. It will help your game.

"read, study, play, reread", Hold 'em Poker for Advanced Players is simply the best single volume study of Hold 'em as it is played today that I have ever read. It is endlessly informative, rich in detail and illustrations, complex in its treatment of complicated concepts, and insightful in every important way. It omits nothing of any importance to the game.

The book begins with a consideration of general starting hands requirements, adjusted for playing style, position, etc., and follows through on the play of each, as well as general considerations for each type or class of hand, and its relation to the innumerable factors impacting expectation or the play of other. Once this analysis is dealt with, Sklansky deals with a whole series of more individual or isolated cases or concepts and miscellaneous topics. The important details considered are too many to list here; Hold 'em played well is an enormously complex game, and Sklansky addresses it from every angle.

Sklansky's writing style is very dense. He does not blather on about his personal experiences, drop names, or chat; he instructs in the style of a particularily dry math or statistics professor. He is direct, thorough, and exhaustive (sometimes exhausting). You will not read this book in one sitting and become a professional caliber player. You need to play, then return to the book and read much of it again; upon doing so the reader will find, again and again, that now he finally really understands some new concept. It is a work of extremely subtle and complex analysis.

Nobody playing Hold 'em for money today can do without this book.

"You'll get a big edge", I really am not a fan of the reviews, but I feel that I have the obligation to recommend this book because if you read it, you will understand better the others players' game, and the best of it you'll get a big edge over them.

"Excellent",
I was constantly breaking even before getting this book on online poker sites. After reading it, I took nearly all of the guesswork out of my playstyle and recently just bought a new guitar entirely with winnings.

I recommend this book to anyone who already considers themselves decent at poker and already has good intuition as to spotting how others play to determine what they have... or don't have. This book will not probably help you with those things. This book is best for those who are already good at poker but either have their game strategy wrong or off a little.

The best part of this book is it makes it much more easy to spot poor play from other people at your table and thus allows you to profit hugely from that.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"A Must Have for Hold'em Players ", For those of you who know the basics, this book is certain to expand your knowledge and improve your play.

"Very descriptive, which takes you step by step", This is a very usefull book for people who already have experienced the ins and outs of hold-em poker. By taking you from the pre-flop to the betting on the river, the author covers many aspects of advanced hold-em poker.



"Brilliant but confusing", Hands Down this is the best Poker book ever written.

The major complaints about this book are how it's written, the authors are fairly poor writers, and even though the text is brilliant, its difficult to understand.

If your looking to really improve your game and are willing to struggle reading and rereading a fairly dense and difficult book than this one is perfect for you. If you just want a fun read that will improve your play a little stay away from this book

For fun easy reads there are many good books, my favorites and Phil Gordon's Little Blue and his Little Green books.

"Actually manages to take the fun out of reading and texas holdem all in one go", I was hoping the book would be good. most reviews are. However the topics are not really covered at all, more introduced. It was like talking to a drunk bloke about sports, most points are important and relevant but its presented in a way that makes it confusing. They openly admit they dont want the book to be rated on the quality of the english. Just as well, long rambling thaughts that don't form conclusions. Not what I wanted or needed. It actually manages to take the fun out of reading and texas holdem all in one go.

"Not A Light Read", This is not a book to read while drinking a beer and watching the ballgame on TV. Like most Sklansky books, it's packed with information delivered in a dry, straightforward style reminicsent of college math or engineering texts. The ideas, while often subtle, are very powerful if the reader will take the time to read, re-read, and probe them in poker games and out.

Much of the material is in the form of brief essays. The portion on non-optimal play in loose games is worth the price of the book all by itself. The same can be said of the heads up play section. I recommend that you take notes and re read the sections several times as you study, then chat online (2+2 forum is a good site to do this)with some playes about what you've learned.

This book in my opinion is Sklansky's best book, with Theory of Poker a close second. Take the time and make the effort to understand what he's saying and take your game to a new level.
