The book gives lots of good insights into the game, but as the title suggests concentrates on the numbers and probabilities. There are useful chapters on strategies and software tools. Didn't reveal any great secrets though.

Another classic by Moshman! Highly recommended!

I've always played poker mostly by "feel" and have been pretty good, but knew if I ever wanted to become great that I had to learn more of the mathematics involved and incorporate them into my game. So I decided to buy a book that dealt specifically with the math involved in poker, and although there were multiple choices, I went with this one based purely off the fact that it was authored by Collin Moshman and Douglas Zare. I've purchased both of Collin's other poker books, and I credit the majority of my poker success from what I've learned in those teachings and I highly recommend them. As do I this newest book as well.
Collin deals with everything I've heard about but never understood; such as EV, variance, bankroll management, hand ranges, Nash equilibrium and much more. Now my game is now more advanced and my understanding of poker is deeper than ever. There's a reason so many young internet based poker players are crushing live and online; because they took the time to learn all these strategies and concepts and incorporate them everytime they sit at the table. Whether you consider yourself a novice or an expert, Collin and Douglas will help strengthen your foundation in an easy to understand way, and you will be amazed at how different and clearly you look at the game of poker afterwards. And the confidence you'll aquire simply from posessing and utilizing these tools correctly is priceless.
If you want to invest in your future and increase your winrate then trust me, YOU WANT THIS BOOK!!

Poorly Written

As an aspiring hold 'em player with an advanced degree in engineering, this book presents alot of the math concepts of the game, but these concepts are very poorly explained most of the time. If you get this book, plan on spending alot of time deciphering the meaning that the authors intended -many times you will simply move on and hope that it will become clear later. There are other shortcomings of the book, for example, all the probablilites on hand strength presented apply only to two-handed betting situations where all the other players have folded, and it is not presented how drastically hand equities can change with additional players or how to adjust your play in these situations.
This book does present good concepts, but could have been written much more clearly. It is hard to imagine that there isn't a better book out there on the subject.

math issues for hold em

I liked the straight forward nature of the math discussed and explained in the book. I did not like (nor need) the involved lengthy explanations and actual math problems that showed you how HE (and you could) come up with the answers to math questions relating to holdem.
