From the Publisher
So you want to play Texas Hold ’Em?

There’s no denying poker’s universal charm is irresistible and the daddy of poker games, Texas Hold ’Em, is everywhere – TV, the internet, in the press, on the big screen. But what’s the best way to get started ? More to the point, what’s the best way to get started...and win? Texas Hold ’Em is incredibly easy to learn and you can be playing before you know it, but you need a lot more than just the basics or you’ll end up as fodder for the pros who really know what they’re doing.

That’s why Paul Mendelson, our most popular card games author (and self-confessed poker fan) has written this, the latest most up-to-date poker book around. Priced to suit any budget his easy to read guide gives all you need to know to get started and hit the ground running. Of course you’ll learn the essentials of the game, the hands and their values, the mechanics, the terminology, the odds and percentages, the betting and money management. There’s a full glossary and Paul’s top ten tips for beginners. But you’ll also understand the etiquette, the ritual, the audacious bluffs, tells and all those other subtleties that most new players only discover when it’s too late! And with the benefit of Paul’s experience at the Vegas poker tables you’ll be ready for live games with friends, at casinos and even tournaments.

Don’t miss out on the game everybody’s enjoying. It’s time to join in the action. And with Paul as your guide you’ll begin and win!

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says on the tin, 6 Nov 2006
By Ferdinand Peelen (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read this book in two days and made two summary sheets on the main contents tips and actions in the book. Mainly listing starting hands and what to do with them.

I'd only been playing under 200 online tournaments (single and multi table) in total before I read the book. Was getting better but felt I was struggling and not making money. Then I started playing games after reading this book with my summary sheets by my side. I was amazed, I promptly started making profits. This book really did make me win!

This book has really meant a hike in my level of play. In my case I was always calling the flop if I had a pocket ace regardless of what the other card was. Simply no longer doing that with a low kicker (with the odd exception) has made 100's of chips difference to my game per tournament.

Also the tips on behaviour on the table really helped. Mendelson suggests an assertive, almost arrogant attitude to get an edge over other players. When I was in a final showdown at a single table tournament after reading this book (one of 2 people left at the table) I did exaclty as Mendelson wrote and raised, re raised, went all in at the drop of a hat and totally had the other player intimidated. Worked like a charm!

I've now gone on to read other more elaborate poker books but the summary sheets I made as a result of reading this book always sit by my side when I'm playing. I know the contents by heart but when in doubt I still consult it.

I earned the low cost of this book back in a flash. A must have for players with limited experience. It will bust those habits that lose you money and install some profitable ones instead!

2.0 out of 5 stars the title is "Begin and Win",it should be just "Begin", 17 Jun 2007
this book is so basic,it's not for someone that knows the rules of texas hold'em,that is about all that is in this book,what bet means call and so on, with it being such a small book and I do mean small 128 pages that might sound not that small but the introduction takes up to 10 pages, the glossary takes up another 10,that leaves enough space for the rules and thats about it,if you have not played before and would like to know how too play this would be ok but for anything else look else where!
