Review
What our readers said about the bestselling first edition 'Sheer genius.' 'Not just good writing, but sound tactical, mathematical and psychological advice about no-limit hold'em.' 'Just reading the ten pages on bluffing would turn most unprofitable players into profitable ones.' 'With lots of practice and this book, you can become a very sound poker player.' --Reader reviews of First Edition
Product Description
The poker revolution is complete. Once the preserve of shady characters gathered in backrooms, and basements, poker is now a mainstream pastime enjoyed by millions across the country, in home games, poker clubs, casinos and - of course - on the internet. Tournaments are televised nightly and celebrities are falling over each other to get a piece of the action.
No-Limit Texas Hold'em is by far the most popular form of poker played today and this book - now in its revised, third edition - provides a comprehensive tutorial starting from square one. You will learn:
* THE BASICS - rules, hand rankings, jargon and etiquette
* PRINCIPLES OF PLAY - starting hands, when to bet, when to fold
* POKER PSYCHOLOGY - playing styles, table image, tells and bluffs
* THE MATHEMATICS - how to work the probabilities and odds
* STRATEGY for online and face-to-face play
* MANAGING YOUR MONEY & maximising your return
* HOW TO BEAT THE CHEATS

As a beginner at the game, I enjoyed No-limit Texas Hold'em For Winners and found it very enlightening and helpful. Of course, as a beginner, it's also apparent that I can't be certain whether the advice given is excellent, ruinous or where it falls in between those extremes, but I get a strong feeling that it leans heavily towards the former. The language used is lucid and the teaching is logically and clearly structured; the authors have talent in these respects and are fine communicators. Strategies for all four betting rounds are proposed. Crucially, the logic behind those strategies and for approaches towards other aspects of the game is well explained so that the reader doesn't merely follow a blueprint but becomes versed in the reasoning behind the advice given. Other facets of the game are discussed such as deception, playing styles, stacks and blinds. There is a splendid piece about the role of luck in the game which is useful to all of us who believe we don't get our fair share of it. Although the book is comprehensive, it would have been helpful to squeeze in a few more pages about tournament and internet play and there are a few slips in the text, a tad disappointing in a second edition. The book seems to be of considerable value to beginners who are serious about improving and, I suspect, to better and more experienced players, too. It does demand the reader works hard to get the best from it. I'm very glad I bought it.

Just wanted to draw everybody attention to the fact that every reviewer have only 2 review, that those 2 reviews are always of the author 2 books and that reviews of both books are identical to the word for each reviewer
I think anyone should take that in consideration

This book has massively improved my poker skills. I can't really compare it to others as it's my first poker book. I did find it pretty simple to understand and the exercises helped to consolidate my knowledge and undertand the principles in action. One area it's lacking is related to tournaments, but they really require their own specialist books. Highly recommended introduction to cash games that I think would help make most small-stakes cash game poker players profitable.
