Negative Positive
Title: I know less after reading this book.
Review: I have read many poker books, and now that I'm half way through with this one, I can honestly say that this is one of the worst.The psychology is about as deep as the cover. The author presumes you have no skill or ability - like him he adds - and offers a rigid mechanical rating system that is completely incompatible with today's game, (particularly the internet games).The end of this book is filled with doomsday predictions for those who want to make a living playing. He insists that the pro's make less money than average doctors or lawyers. Unfortunately, his findings are based on a study that was conducted in the 70's. This book may have been published in 2000 initially, but it seems like it was written in the 80's. Perhaps this is a nice gift for someone who already has every other poker book.
Is the review positive or negative?
