Reviewer: Footnote75

Reviewing poker books is always difficult, because everybody's 'strategies' vary. Although the basic advice on the game is usually the same, all published 'experts' have their own views which never seem to quite tally.

This, however, is an excellent book for both beginners and those with a bit of experience. It's very clear, relies on carefully-constructed examples all the way through, and achieves its aim to be a thorough introduction to the game. For anybody who's been playing under a year, reading this will help to consolidate your knowledge and probably offer a few tips you'd not thought of. By its very nature it also gives a bit of advice on 'live' poker, which could come in very useful for anyone who plays both.

The best thing for those who have never played online is that it leads you through the whole process – from getting an ADSL connection and choosing a poker room, to depositing real money and the logistics of the software. In some ways I wish I'd had this when I started, although the advice given on which poker room to choose is contentious to say the least, and could be slightly out of date now that the USA changes have taken place. The book also lists other books, software and websites which will help, all of which are very good advice.

Amazon is selling this cheap, and I would recommend it without a second thought for just about anybody – even if you think you're beyond it!
