Having read all 3 volumes of `Harrington on Hold-em' (must read material if you're serious about playing hold-em well) I thought I'd also give this book a go.
The book brushes on a number of concepts and theories that HOH and other books go into, (suited connectors, pot odds, etc) but in nowhere near as much depth. To be honest, having read the book there's wasn't really much else, if anything that I felt I'd learned. And although Daniel Negreanu is considered one of the best poker players around, and has far more experience of the game than I do, I would argue that some of his theories are somewhat strange, especially how he advises beginners to stick to fixed, very large raises when they pick up a hand (almost robotic like).
In summary, if you're very new to the game and want a crash course in some useful theories you can read in a day or two then go for this. If you have more patience and really want to scratch beneath the surface go for the HOH series (volume 2 if I had to pick one of the three).

I'm surprised at the content of this book. It has obviously been thrown together, assembled from articles published elsewhere. I thought I was buying a book that would give me a good insight to the game from Daniel's perspective. Instead I've got a book with a bunch of standard tips and guidelines that are freely available on the net. A couple of the topics rescue the book in a small way, but overall I'm disappointed with the content. I'm surprised Daniel put his name to this. It has the feel of a sellout/cheap money spinner. I rate Daniel as a player and a name in the game, so I was looking forward to his new book. This will make me think twice.

I was lucky as this booked cost me nothing, it offers absolutley nothing new to the game and the tips and techniques are simple and obvious , I have nothing against the said author and enjoy his play , this therefore makes me wonder whether he had anything to do with it and if not why has he put his name to it . I have a number of books in my poker library and this is by far the worst. At best ...no i can't even recommend it to a beginner as there are many better books out there . Try Vorhaus , Harrington , Salansky ,and Snyder and if you wnat a quick fix guide i'd recommend Lou Krieger and Sheree Bykofsky " Secrets the pro's won't tell you about holdem poker . you have been warned .

great if your a beginner
I thought this book would include some kind of special game plan thought of by Daniel, he is a great player but doesn't really show it in this book.

Finally! A poker book which looks other places!
I've read many books on how to play different hands in different situations but as any pro will tell you, that's not poker! Read more
