Good

This is not a review. Just an advice. This book is intented for Stud players.

psychology of poker

I found this book helpful in many ways. First, it explained clearly with lots of examples. Second, it wasn't just about using statistics to figure out whether to bet or not. It covered the psychological aspects of playing poker, which is another dimension to consider when playing serious poker. I recommend this book to anyone who plays regularly or wants to.

It worked for me

I play poker with a local group of gals and we all loved this book. I'm sorry I shared it with them, actually, because I was winning a lot more before I did. Being a bridge player, I've always had card smarts, but this book shows that you need a lot more than that to win at poker, and tells you how to do it.

Don't use fast shipping, but book was in good shape.

The book took a week to get to me, but it was in good shape -- 5 star service, if not for the shipping time. I would buy from them again!

Helpful for beginners to learn how and why to bet

Lots of people picking up cards for the first time just push bets in to keep things going, because it's what everyone else at the table is doing and they want action. Lynne Taetzsch gives helpful pointers about why every bet, check, call and fold you make has a purpose as well as when and how you make them. She also gives simple lessons on how playing the man or woman opposite you at the table is just as important as playing your cards correctly.
