I can’t say how good the advice in `Hold’em Poker’ is. I haven’t tried playing for real yet. There’s no way I’d risk money with just this book for preparation. It’s hard to read and sometimes doesn’t make sense even with repeated readings.

David Sklansky is very smart. David Sklansky knows it. He makes excellent points as you gather information, and form a style of your own. I would not recommend playing exactly as he says, for others know this style now. Use it as great insight, from which you may draw better insights in time. Listen to him. He knows what he’s talking about. “Luck is a constant” Paul “Big Fig” Newton

This book is a quick course to playing good poker. I am sure all the topics he writes about will make you money. The problem is that he give too little information and examples to fully know how to put the knowledge in to practice right. I really got a headache going through this book and still i am second guessing myself if I am making the right plays. What I think this book lacks is: 1. information about how to deal with certain players 2. how to recognize what kind of game you’re in (just talks about loose or tight)
If you have the patience to fully understand this book it may be for you.
Not a book for beginners!!
