Although the author is a well known, don’t expect an advanced treatise on onlie play. What this is, however, is a good nuts & bolts guide for online play. Great for beginners and intermediate players who have want to transition from live to online play. Also servers as a good beginner’s guide to limit Texas holdem. This is the most popular game being played online, at casinos, and in local card rooms. Learn this game and you can make a living anywhere in the world, online or live!

I was expecting a more advanced book based on it was written by “Lou Krieger” a well know Card player Magazine columnist. But this book was just written to capitalize on his name the growing popularity of online gambling. Only buy this book if you are new to both poker and online poker. There is a lot of fluff in this book and in the fast evolving arena on online poker most advice will be outdated in 6 months.

I couldn’t believe the book had a CD with over 100 playing hands on it. This was worth the price of the book alone. I didn’t know it had the CD until I opened the book to look through it. Although the book says it has a poker CD in it, it is mentioned (on the cover) in very small print. They should have made “free poker CD” more prominent somehow because it makes this book far different than any other of its type. The book itself has everything the reader wants to know about poker as well as playing the game on the internet. “What happens if you are disconnected?” It’s covered in this book along with most everything else the beginner, or the skilled player, would want answered. On those upcoming cold winter nights it will prove to be a great deal of fun and enjoyment. Players at every level will benefit from this reading (along with the free CD!)

As a beginner I was reluctant to invest my hard-earned money at an online poker site until I read this book. Everything was made simple, all was demystified, and with a little practice under my belt I’m now completely comfortable playing online.
I was also impressed with the CD that comes with the book. There are 125 poker hands from the Wilson “Turbo” series that you can play interactively on your computer, while reading how the authors would play those hands.
In addition, the CD includes downloads to some of the bigger, and more well-established online poker sites. The book is very well written, clear, concise, and easy to read and understand. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in playing poker online.
Now, if I can only duplicate Chris Moneymaker’s feat by winning a $40 Internet tournament and parlaying it into winning the World Series of Poker, that would be icing on the cake.
