Reviews

[Alexandra Chauran · Rating 3 out of 5]

The reviews about this book is right that the first third of the book is just an advertisement using Brunson's name. He admits that the online poker room bearing his name during the era was not owned by him, they just paid him handsomely for branding. This book was historically interesting. In Chapter 3 he foretells the Black Friday that outlawed online poker in most of the United States four years later. He writes of the biggest online room being Party Poker and of a new up and coming site, Poker Stars. I'm going to take away one interesting idea from this book, and it's to watch for the instant checking that happens when people select the check/fold button, not that many people in the microstakes sandbag anyway.

Write a generic poker book and slap Doyle Brunson's name on it...guaranteed to sell. Not guaranteed to teach you anything new though.
