3 comments about No Limit Fun: Learn To Play And Host A Texas Hold 'em Poker Party.

1. No Limit Fun is a must-have book for learning how to play Texas Hold'em poker. It teaches you everything you need to know to play this exciting game. I actually won my first tournament after reading the book! If you want to learn to play the game, or try your hand at hosting your own poker party, you gotta get this book!



2. This book is terrific for newcomers to the Texas Hold 'em scene. Everything you need is right here in an easy to follow layout. The book is designed for both the novice and the more experienced player. I found that once I had read the book I could easily go back and find the section that I was interested in. The strategy sections are particularly helpful. I found the advice on when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em especially good.



3. Tired of listening to all your friends and coworkers talk about how much fun they have playing Texas Hold'Em. I was, but not knowing how to play kept me from going to any games. I saw this book on line and decided to give it a try. The book was great !!! Very easy to read and gave me all the basic rules and strategies. I went to my first game last weekend and came in second place !!!! Now I can't wait to play again. Don't miss out on the fun.

1. This is an outstanding overview of Texas Hold'em poker. I wish I had read it before reading longer books on the game. Braids provides a compact and clear explanation of Hold'em and the thought processes needed for each stage of a hand. His discussion of the five decision factors is actually applicable to all forms of poker. The charts and illustrations are helpful. More complex books on Hold'em make much more sense after reading Braid's book. Also if you play poker online, having the chart on page 22 taped above your computer screen is helpful for knowing when to stay in a hand after the flop.



2. It is hard to imagine a [price] book being overpriced, but this one is. If you have never played Hold'em at any level, this MAY be a place to start, but even for that it is totally inadequate. There are dozens of better choices available. Save your money.



3. I find this a very helpful summary of Texas Hold'em. I travel by bus to Atlantic City every couple months to play Hold'em and I carry this book along to review on the bus. I own a lot of poker books and have studied them all. However for a quick summary of Hold'em basics before sitting down to play, this book is what I use. The list of the five decision factors reminds me of where I should focus my thoughts during play. I like to review the tables and charts too.



4. Darn, couldn't get a royal flush this hand... guess I'll have to settle for FOUR ACES!!!
   
   Authors who review their own works to jack up the score are unethical lowlifes. I mean, come on, I'm not even allowed to vote "yes" that my own review was helpful. Give me a hand people: VOTE YES!!!

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.
