I never knew Texas Hold-um was so easy to learn.
2 Nov 2005
Format:Paperback
Prior to buying this book, I had always wanted to learn to play Texas Hold-Um but was afraid it would be too difficult to master. I am intimated no more!! This book really broke down the basics of the game in a fast, easy to use way. In fact, I was playing, having fun, and winning a few pots the very day after I finished reading this book. Loved the pull out cheat sheet.

I'm a Beliver!
30 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
I had only played Texas Hold Em a couple of times with the family, so I bought this book before entering my first poker tournament -- mostly to avoid humiliation. I did far better than that. I've finished in the top third (out of 50) and was the last woman standing all three times I've played since reading it.
After watching me play, the Tournament Director said, "I've got to see this book!". After looking through it he said, "No wonder. Everything you need to know to succeed is right here." As a result, my more experienced poker-playing husband even read some key chapters and has been finishing in the money as well.
Playing Winning Poker is an extremely easy read and valuable tips are well reinforced in the margins. I've given copies to several family members and friends, and now they swear by it as well. Thanks for helping us finish in the chips!

Easy to understand and read. This book is a much better option than my well-meaning husband trying to teach me - highly recommended. I look forward to holding my own now during poker parties
