Everyone can agree that Phil Helmuth is a good poker player. Thus his style of poker playing is good and requires a book. What you will find in this book is a good beginner poker lesson that will teach you a lot of helpful techniques/theories on how to improve your poker game. I gave this book a B+ because many poker books out there today, suck ass, waste paper and your time. After reading some books I find that the information they have given me doesn't add anything to my gam...more

Anyone who has an interest in improving their poker skills.
If you're into poker, this book is great for learning how to go from decent to really good. Some aspects of it - like the use of "animal personalities" I thought were kind of over-simplified and over-done for dramatic effect, but the strategies are pretty easy to understand (although it would take a long time to consistently use them well) and it lets you consider many aspects of the game in a new light. If you're not playing poker consistently, you're probably not going to be very g...more
This is the first poker book I've ever read so I don't know how it compares to the others that are out there. My mom found an autographed copy at a garage sale! How random is that? Anyway, I consider myself to be a pretty savvy poker player so I was curious what I would learn. At the end of the day, I didn't really learn much. There were a lot of "hand scenarios" with pot odds and player tendencies, but those can only help you to a point. So much of poker is the "feel" y...more
Colorful animal analogies but hardly the best poker book I've read.
Pretty basic. There is some good information if you can get past the author patting himself on the back.
I really enjoyed this book, because it had a whole bunch of authors, and its written in a semi- story format. Its a bunch of poker pros talking about crazy hands theyve had, how they played them, and then Phil talks about his opinions. I learned a bunch from it.
While the poker brat is tough to endure on television, his book offers insider information to the poker world. Easy to understand and plenty of examples of how to react and perform in certain situations.
First poker book I read which was appropriate b/c after reading this book, you have truly advanced your game to a higher level for a beginner. Good starting point.
When I first started playing poker, this book helped me to understand a lot about the game.
Superfluous, pompous and overrated - much like Hellmuth.
You can learn more strategy from Wikipedia.
