Title: Just the basics, but that's enough
Product review: This is a basic primer to the game and as such it's excellent. A novice could read this book cover to cover, play in a home game and not lose too much money. It's no substitute for seat time, but it's great introduction to the basics of the game, which hands to play, pot odds, winning percentages for starting hands, etc.Most of all, it asks poker players to take notes of their sessions, which is the best way to get better. By taking and reading your notes, you find tendencies that crop up over time. You also can't fool yourself about whether or not you are losing money.If you are an experienced player, this book is not for you, but if you want to learn about the game of Texas Hold'em pick let Ken Warren be your guide.
