Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-08-18 Summary: One of the smartest poker books you'll read ... I think that when we're thinking about buying a poker book we weigh a lot of factors like what we want to learn, where are the holes in our game, and what's the likelihood that we can use what the book is supposed to teach...quickly. And I think we often walk away from the good poker books as better players, just not always quickly. I found that books like Sklansky's Poker Theory and Super System are great resources and I have definitely benefited by reading them, but I don't think I ever felt like my game improved ...more

If you play online hold 'em this is a great book to start with to understand the strategies. It improved my play tremendously to where I began to win tournaments and understand and predict my opponents' actions. The "Problems" presented in the book are hypothetical game situations that require you to decide what you should do when faced with a certain table situation. These are INVALUABLE to helping you learn what to look for, how to evaluate it, and how ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-10-05 Summary: Great book to extend your poker knowledge ... I've play plenty of games of poker, at casino and small bar tournaments. I was looking to gain more knowledge and after reading reviews for about 20 poker books I decided to start here. After all was said it done it was a fairly solid read with a good amount of information. I never really thought about pot odds or implied odds until I read this book. If you're a pro who has these things on their minds constantly when playing, I wouldn't think this is a book you would be to interested in. But for a beginner this is ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-14 Summary: Best bang for the buck! ... The newer versions require the game disk to play but not this one. You can install this on every one of your computers and the disk is not required to play. It can be a bit buggy in Vista but I haven't had too many problems. I installed it on every family member's computer so it is very family friendly. In my Vista machine it smaller screened by itself once (a bug) so I had to go into Options in the lower screen to click on making it full-screen again. This was not major enough for me to take away a star in the rating. ...more

Did you know the following facts about Gambling?
Fill - In poker, to draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
High Poker - Standard poker, as compared to low poker or lowball. In high poker, high hands win.
Hot - A player who is on a winning streak, or a slot machine that is paying out.
Kicker - In a draw poker game, an odd high card held that doesn’t contribute to a straight or a flush, usually an ace or a king.
Payout Percentage - Also referred to as the payback percentage, the percent of each dollar played in a video or slot machine that the machine is programmed to return to the player. Payback percentage is 100 percent minus the house edge.
Plug - A shuffling technique that is sometimes employed in card games like blackjack where the game is often dealt from a multi-deck shoe. When freshly shuffled cards are brought back into action a substantial portion of the cards are kept out of play by the insertion of a cut-card at the back of the deck or shoe. The placement of the cut card marks the place where play will be stopped and the cards are again shuffled. During the play, used cards are stacked in a discard tray. When the cut-card is reached, the game is stopped, and the remaining un-dealt cards are inserted somewhere into the middle of the cards that have already been stacked up in the discard tray. The cards so inserted are referred to as a 'plug'. Such action is called 'plugging' the deck.
Single - A Straight bet on one selection, also known as a straight-up bet.
Slot Club Member - Slot clubs were invented for slot fanatics. By becoming a member you are given a card (like a credit card). Using your card while playing the slots (also table games in some casinos) helps you earn free points / cash. The rules, number of points needed to achieve regular club status, and the benefits given to the player are different at every casino.
Straight Keno - The basic keno game, played by marking individual numbers on a keno ticket.
Token - The casino own coins used to play slot machines instead of real coins.
