one of those books that, if you need it, you need a lot more than this book; and if you don’t, why bother? I purchased the book in expectation of enlightenment about the ins and outs of professional play, preparation, perhaps an itinerary: I received well, too well, traveled pathways and worn information. I sent the book back. You will probably send the book back, too, if you have any of a half dozen titles on your shelves. I give it 1 star because the other reviewers (perhaps the author in disguise? or his family?) gave it 5. Had they been more honest, I may have given it 2. I would not have given it 2 after sitting down to evaluate it, but in retrospect that may have been emotional reaction.
Thumbs down. Look elsewhere.

Been there, read that for the most part. Not a bad book per se, but the least helpful I have read.

I like this book because it teaches u how much money u need to play in different limits, when to move up in limits, and when you are in over your head.

This book is not just for the want to be pro, it’s for anyone who wants to take poker to the next level. The section on Money Matters will blow you a way. If you want to find out if you have what it takes or are a winning poker player, this is the book for you. THANK YOU MARK! Your suggestions might have saved my poker carrer (I’m not ready to go pro, but will be soon).
