Description: This book gave me an hours worth of reading about poker, and that was good. If I had never played poker, or was one of the complete fish at party, it would probably have helped my game some. But, the little good information that he gives can be had anywhere ("play tight, good starting hands, and bet made hands aggressively") and probably in more depth. On top of this, he makes numerous statements that are FACTUALLY wrong. A pocket pair against a higher pocket pair isn't a "coinflip" because they both have two outs! The higher pair is a 4-1 favorite!
The higher pair doesn't HAVE to hit trips to win. It's a "coinflip" against two overcards (where the pair is a slight favorite, if you were wondering). He spends several pages explaining why figuring odds is worthless because "your opponents could have some of your outs." Not only is that stupid, it's potentially damaging to someone who actually listens to what he has to say. Pot odds are never discussed except to ridicule people who use it to explain a call. He never discusses his experience or winnings, but it seems because he has none. He apparently plays 5 dollar tourneys on party, and speaks in awe of someone who was playing in 200 dollar sit 'n gos.
