I've been playing poker for 20 years, I've read alot of books and articles about the game, I've studied and thought about the strategy of the game, and I've even had about a dozen articles I've written about poker strategy published. You can trust my recommendation when I tell you that this book is the best of the best if you're serious about winning.
This book is not for those who just want to have fun playing and improve their game a little. Reading this book will require time, thought, and alot of mental effort. In addition, you will probably re-read this book many times over the years as your game improves and you gain more experience. However, this book is not for beginners. You will need to already understand the basics of the game in order to understand this book.
I also recommend "The Theroy Of Poker" by the same authors, "The Hold'em Odds Book" by Mike Petriv, and the video "Caro's Pro Poker Tells" by Mike Caro. If you gain a working knowledge of what these books and videos teach, you will be better than at least 90% of your low limit opponents. However, I have to stress that it is impossible to get anything out of these books from a quick reading. They will require alot of time, thought, and mental effort. If you're just want to have fun playing poker without losing too much money, these are not the books for you. There are lots of other books out there that will teach you the basics and give you a few tips if this is what you are looking for.

Nothing to complain about. The book was in exellent condition, as stated, and the shipping didnt take too long.

I found this book very helpful to understand the basics for tight play in limit holdem. It is a welcome addition to my library. While this was written for low limit card rooms, I have found the contents to benefit me in tournaments as well. I just recently won a 26 person tournament using his strategies while I was the short stack at one of the tables. Balance Slansky with Harrington to expand your game. Sidenote: Slansky made the final table at the 2006 Borgata Open, so tight play can get you in the money.

Contrary to popular belief, most Hold'Em poker is not played for high stakes. In addition, most Hold'Em poker is not played in a tournament style. Indeed, quite a lot of Hold'Em poker is played for small stakes, such as $2-$4, $3-$6, and $4-$8--and this is exactly the type of poker for which this book provides expert advice.

First, a strong knowledge of the basics is required. This is not a beginner's book.

Second, the concepts and the text are dense, and thus this is not a book that provides simple concepts presented simply. The book takes work to read, but the knowledge is there to be extracted.

Third, one might be put off by the absolute arrogance of the authors. However, it is doubtful you know more about small stakes Hold'Em than the authors, so just let it go and take the arrogance with a grain of salt.

In summary, if you want to take small stakes Hold'Em seriously, you should begin with this book.

Final note: If you ever go on a cruise, and the ship has a small stakes Hold'Em table, be at the table when the table opens the first day. There will be a number of people there who want to play Hold'Em, some for the first time, who don't mind giving their money away.

Good Luck!
