This book was the first after Super System to give a really detailed expose on NL and PL Poker. Nowadays, the books available on this subject are 'ten a penny'. This book has stood the test of time, but does suffer from being written before internet poker existed. The information is very useful when the stacks are deep or very deep, not your regular 100BB stacks you will find on the Internet. If you want to understand the genesis of Big Bet Poker buy this book. It is easy to read but hard to absorb and will take weeks if not months to understand everything in this book. You would lose thousands of dollars at the poker table before you figured out all the information contained in this book. The book assumes you are a pretty established Poker Player already, if not most of the information will go over your head. A great read if a little dated.

This book is a bit of an enigma. Some of the concepts make perfect sense and are well explained, others make very little sense in the descriptions and the examples used to describe them come from some very obscure games that I had real problems even finding the rules for! If you have read the better known books and are looking to further your knowledge, then there are some things in here that I haven't found elsewhere, but it is by no means essential reading. I don't think my poker playing materially improved after reading this, which is the whole point of buying these books really. If you haven't read 'Harrington on Hold em', 'Super System' or 'Theory of Poker' then go for these first

In the UK we play a LOT of pot-limit. Bob knows what he's talking about and has greatly improved my game. This is not a beginners book. If you have played pot limit or no-limit for reasonable money (in a B&M situation) and been left in a cold sweat (as I have many a time) then you'll appreciate this book.
I rate books by personal dollar value, and next to Skalnsky's poker for advanced players, this is second on my all time list (tops super system)

This book would be far more useful if it concentrated on one form of poker, preferably one that people have heard of. Read more

Doesn't hit any market
This book is probably aimed at experienced big-bet players, not people looking to move up from limit. Read more
