Format:Paperback
I bought two copies; one for a friend and one to keep. I found it easy to read. I play a lot of Hold Em, but there are some useful reminders of what to do / not do when playing. Something to dip into, regularly, rather than read from cover to cover. Recommended.
Format:Paperback

This book has 1 answer to it ..... you learn how to play poker and it gives you great tips for when you do play it too.
Well worth the price.
