1. From book's dustjacket:
   
   "Whether you're a novice player or a seasoned veteran, The Complete Book of Hold 'Em Poker can help improve your game. Valuable advice covers what to expect on a first visit card game; how to select the right table; how to adjust changes in table conditions; and how to evaluate a pre-flop hand - the four most asked topics about Hold 'Em Poker in Internet poker chat rooms. Every aspects of Hold'Em is covered here, from the basics to more esoteric issues such as Betting Theory; The Odds' Table Image; Spread Limit Games; Kill Games; Tournaments; and Playing for a Living.
   
   As Hold;Em has exploded in popularity, it has become more strategically complex. You'll learn how strategies in Hold 'Em vary with the style of the game - for instance, the tactics used in the tight Las Vegas games are not the same as those used in the very loose and aggressive games of southwest Louisiana. You'll need different approaches, and here you'll learn how to develop a dynamic playing style that can be adapted to the complete range of table conditions.
   
   Also stressed is the importance of knowing yourself, and treating poker as a means to self- discovery which can lead to better play and more wins."

2. Ten years as an enthusiastic Amazon customer - the first time I've returned anything. A total failure with nothing interesting or worthwhile. Absolute garbage!

1. it actually write all bout the philosophy about poker and it teaches u to be a better poker players before or after u win the game !!!!



2. This book is far and away some of the best stuff that has been written on poker. I lost my copy and this book is so chalked full of info I had to buy it again! Barry Greenstein is the consummate professional and an excellent writer on top of that.
   
   For those that like hand charts and theorem like explanations of how to play poker, you will not like this book.
   
   For those that want the wisdom of one of pokers finest players, you will not be disappointed. Barry understands that a thorough understanding of mathematics and of poker is more the ludic elements that make up the physical game.



3. So I won't rehash what has been said in the other reviews. But the following hasn't really been emphasized:
   
   This book is BEAUTIFUL. It's a large oversized "quarto" trade paperback, with extraordinarily thick and glossy pages, bound together beautifully. It's been a very very long time since a book at this price point was made this nicely. I would suggest buying it, just to have such a nice looking book.



4. This book is different from the usual play these starting hands only type poker instruction manuals. There is a lot of interesting and useful insight into life and thoughts of a high limit poker player.
   
   The top review on the page said it was too brief about the math and starting hands, I say BRAVO, I have had enough of that information and this was definitely a refreshing work for a person who owns several books and dvds by professionals on how to play (Hold Em).
   
   GREAT WORK. I only gave it 4 stars simply because I didnt want anyone to think that I just slapped them on there because I liked the book. I read this almost 300 page book in 2 days(its really about 250 pages because theres a lot of photos and stuff, but they were not overdone IMHO)



5. This book is excellent for any poker player looking to make the move from casual play to a more serious game. Barry Greenstein discusses what it takes to make a living from playing poker, including bankroll management, game selection, what makes a great all-around poker player, and how to balance poker with the rest of your life.
   
   One of the most helpful aspects of this book was how Barry describes the mentality of a poker player. His advice helps you deal with bad beats, getting outdrawn on, and all the other perils of playing poker.
   
   Also included in the book are example hands, presented in a "what would you do?" format. Barry then discusses his play and what he was thinking in many key hands of his poker career.
