Format:Paperback
This book is a great way to play winning poker while still enjoying yourself and getting involved in several hands. It is a nice thick tome (over 400 pages) that introduces basically everything you need to know about the game in general, and specific variants.
Because this book is thicker than other introductory poker books I have read, it has plenty of advice for the new player. Each topic is covered in depth.
My favourite sections are about pot odds, and seven-card stud. I haven't seen pot odds tackled so well in a beginning level book before. This cleared up a lot of questions I had about them. And the seven-card stud section ensured I was a winner last Friday night (see - it doesn't just work for Thursday night games!).
Overall, I'd thoroughly reccommend this work, at least for the target audience. Others may enjoy it too, but the looser style of play is definitely best suited to the casual game.

I am very advanced in the game of poker, over the years i have collected more then 100 books on the topic. This book stands out from the rest, it gives clear detailed advice on what you should do with your hands and how to play to win! it also gives good explainations on the psychology of the game. I read this book a couple of weeks ago and since then i have been winning so much more. This book really does make a difference, it's a g-d send to all poker players from beginners to experts.

Format:Paperback
Having read a whole bunch of books on the various forms of Poker this is the most comprehensive by far. Although, primarily written for the 'home game', I have found the theory put forward in this book has considerably improved my own play which is casino rules, internet games. In fact, I have found much of the advice to be better than that offered in books dedicated to casino play.
All in all, an excellent book which covers the most popular poker variants and one which I can thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting a better understanding of the game.
