4.0 out of 5 stars Great poker book for more advanced players, 1 Aug 2006
By Stuart Allan - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I would say this poker book is quite a bit more advanced than other books i have read (Harrington's, Brunson) so is most useful to read after the others.

The only problem i would mention is that it tends to focus on deep stacked games (200xBB) and all the live games i can find in the UK tend to very small stacked (20xBB).

The ideas are great however and i'd recommend it to the more experienced players.

If youre starting out and wanting to start taking poker more serious i'd read Sklansky's Theory of Poker then the 3 Harringtons in order. Then this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. A must read (after you know the basics), 16 Aug 2006
I've been playing online for several months and deliberately avoided books to see how well I could do without them and let my natural style develop.

Then I plateaued, so I thought it was time to read. The first few books I picked up seemed to state the obvious (obvious after 6 months of playing) but this book has really taken me to the next step.

It's a straight forward read but not at all boring. It covers most if not all of the different aspects you need to master to become a great player. It's not a receipe book but an awareness book. In other words it doesn't tell you what to do but what to look for how to look for it. Then decision making just flows from there...

5.0 out of 5 stars the best poker book I've read, 13 Nov 2006
By Omri S. Suleiman "om optical" (spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not for beginners at all, as there is no "play hand (x) like (y)", and quite dry too; but...

Having played a few hundred thousand hands over the years, this is one of the few poker books that has added significantly to my game.

The maths sections are amazing, there had been a few leaks in my game, where the sums are actually counter-intuitive, but that's the whole point of learning, no ?!

From my library of about 15 poker books, this is the only one I'm going to re-read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great concepts to use as tools in playing YOUR type of poker
This is a quality book that brings to you key particular concepts for you to apply to your style of play. It doesn't tell you what to do or how to play. Read more

Not entirely sure about this book. I think it's the first no-limit book written by Miller who is a limit geek - and it really shows. Read more
