'Ace on the River' is no ordinary poker book. This is the first truly "advanced" guide aimed at improving your game. Written in an easy-to-read, bare bones conversational style and designed to help anyone interested in increasing their understanding of the game, this book is ideal for those new to the game or winning professionals. The fundamental philosophies presented go beyond the green felt and can be applied in all competitive ventures. While most poker books focus on basic rules and strategies, the books advanced perspective addresses elements that effect both game play and the player. Focusing on a variety of subjects such as the psychology of poker, money management, family issues, and sex, this book gives the reader a rare chance to look beyond the cards to see the poker world through someone who lives it. The unique you-make-the-call-play by play section will challenge the reader again and again. This is a review and guide to the world of high-stakes poker as seen by one of the most well-known and well-respected players of all time. From the beginning of 2003 until the middle of 2004, Barry Greenstein won seven poker tournaments and came in second five times, including winning a World Poker Tour event and a World Series of Poker bracelet. Known as the Robin Hood of Poker, Barry has donated nearly three million dollars of his tournament winnings to charity.

This is one of those pretty, high quality paper, full of photographs type books that you stick on your coffee table and enjoy having a flick though every now and then. I wouldn't describle it as an "advanced poker guide" - it has some interest in that you get a sense of Barry's philosophy on poker life and the things that surround it, but is disappointing if you expect some deep insights into advanced play, or any great depth on how Barry approaches the game.

This book is really about the life of a poker player. Don't expect to be enlightened by this book with amazing poker tactics. Barry Greinstein is quite an extrordinary guy . He does a lot for charity work and is an excellent cash games poker player. If you are looking to improve your game you are better off buying Dan Harrington's books "Harrington on Holdem 1,2 and 3". But as am insight into the life of a poker player and a lot of good quality photographs you can't get much better than this book.

Barry Greenstein, one of the biggest poker legends wrote this amazing poker guide for regular players who would like to become professionals. If you wanna buy a book just to improve your texas holdem skills this is not the book you are looking for. If you want to improve your whole mentality, understanding and approach to poker, then this is THE book to buy.
Thank you Barry
