Review title: This book is a little too basic.
Product review: In this book, the authors try to help the reader learn to win at no-limit holdem. The problem witht the this book is that the book only gives enough information to give the player a false hope at the game. While the book doesn't offer any "bad" advice, it doesn't offer enough "good" advice, in that it addresses the basics of poker theory, and then goes about how to apply these basics to no limit holdem. To really win at no limit holdem, the basics just aren't enough. Psychology is much more important, and this book just leaves the player too predictable and too uninformed to do some serious damage at the tables. This book has the player playing a more limit style of poker, which doesn't work in no limit. It doesn't discuss the difference between a big pot or a small pot, which has a major affect on whether a player is a real winner or not. Get Doyle's and Harrington's books (all of them) and don't go overboard.
