Meh...Better stories than strategy,
By
This review is from: Championship No-limit and Pot Limit Hold'em (Championship series) (Sports)
While this book is an entertaining read the poker strategy is lacking, if you want some entertaining stories and telling you to play super-tight then this book is good for you. However, far superior strategy material will be found elsewhere. This book contains a lot of level 1 thinking, when you have xx hand do this. While it recognizes position slightly it doesn't properly discuss many other important factors involved in the hand, such as number of people at the table, stack sizes, blind levels, your opposition, etc.
While the authors are very successful players, it is seldom the case that the best players are the best teachers, this is certainly the case with this book. It is definitely sold off the authors names rather than the the quality of the material. The stories are pretty good and playing super-tight is sound advice for inexperienced players. I enjoyed reading it but I certainly won't bother reading it again.

Please don't read this book,
By bubbapug "bubbapug" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Championship No-limit and Pot Limit Hold'em (Championship series) (Sports)
I bought this book. The book is written in a very informal style. However, the first day after I read it I finished 6th out of 1600 in one tournement in which I never finished higher than 400 in before. This guy knows his stuff, but do you have the discipline and patience to follow his advice? This is not a formula book, as in play this way, and this way only. TJ goes into the real aspect of NL tourny play, as in playing the player, and not making mistakes. I would rather you not read this book because I don't want anyone who follows it to play against me. But if you do read it pay attention, TJ's style is understated to say the least, but he lays out a system that will win you tournaments.

Very good book, with advice from a poker legend,
By D. Gaito - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Championship No-limit and Pot Limit Hold'em (Championship series) (Sports)
The stories throughout are worth the price alone. Add to that Cloutier (& Mcevoy) giving sound poker advice, and you get a book to look at for years to come.The book is focused on both pot limit and no limit, and the advise is split evenly throughout. It offers a ton of strategy, practice hands and different view points (Cloutier and McEvoy are both great players, but play certain hands very differently). The writing is such that you feel that TJ is sitting next to you, telling you how to play - - an aspect that I really enjoyed. The book ends with tails from TJ, a collection of poker memories from his days traveling from game to game throughout Texas. 14 of 16 people found the following review helpful:

Don't know why this book gets high reviews,
By Matt - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Championship No-limit and Pot Limit Hold'em (Championship series) (Sports)
I'm a good limit and decent NL player, winning at both regularly. I wanted to take my game to the next level and this book did not help. There are no tricks or even organized suggestions in this book. It is a bunch of chat basically about being tight. I also bought Internet texas hold'em by Matthew Hilger and that book taught me tons. In fact my NL play improved as much from that book as it did from TJ's. Overall this book is a huge disappointment. It is repetetive and full of chatter which is interesting but can't improve your game. Send me $50 and I will tell you not to play KJ and Q10 in a NL game.
