I'm certain that, as simplistic as it is, i'll never master this game. Reading books such as this one make it clear to me how far from mastery i am and how seemingly insurmountable the learning curve appears to my mental mountain climber (i.e., he gives up pretty easily).
If you want to learn about the game (low stakes, LIMIT hold'em), no matter how much you've played, i recommend this book.

recommends it for:
Small Stakes (1/2 to 5/10) Poker Players
This is not a beginning book of poker. If you don't know the rules or/and have never played before, you would be better getting a different book. If you usually play poker at the $100-$200 tables, but want to play on the $5-$10 table for fun (and to make/earn some cash), then this book is for you.
This book uses advanced concepts and explains how to apply these to small stakes play.

I never really was able to crush low limit garbage games (I got the NL garbage games down, though), which is what this book is supposed to teach you to do, however, it was where I learned about basic ideas like expected value, pot size relative to bets, and how they apply in actual hands.
The advice is good, but sometimes, the writing isn't so clear.

Even if you have never played Texas Hold 'Em Poker before, this is a great book for beginners who want to learn the best tactics for winning at the table based on the actual odds and mathematics of the game. It takes a while to get through but includes really good examples for actual play.

This book is a must for anyone playing limit Hold 'Em at the $2-4, $3-6, or $5-10 levels. For that matter, all books from 2+2 Publishing are essential for any poker player.
