Title: Good but it never distinguises "Limit" from "No Limit" Poker...
Review: This is a good starter book, but inexplicably Skalansky, and Malmuth never make it clear at any time if they are suggesting stategies for "Limit" or "No Limit" games, and as we all know, concepts completely change depending on which game you are playing! I mean, betting patterns and the actions players should take are so different depending on if a game is limit or pot-limit, or no-limit. If anything the book seems more catered toward limit play (which is far less popular), but the fact that there was never a clear distinction at any time, really annoyed me. This book is way overrated, everyone said for me to read it, but I'm sure there's better Texas Hold 'Em books out there. The odds charts are nice, some of the philosophies are helpful, but come on, let's start by explaining if concepts are for "Limit" or "No Limit" thats a huge difference, and a distinction must be made when talking about strategy!
