Poker Insight

I grant that this book does not look like much, but inside are concise pages packed with common sense and advice on how to become a better poker player; which is precisely what many readers need. In keeping with the trends of our day, the type of poker that the majority of this book discusses is Texas Hold ‘Em as it the game most often played in casinos. Silberstang is obviously a serious gambler who asserts at the beginning that we play the game for one reason alone: to make money. I read another commentator who disparaged him for this implication, but I agree with Silberstang. Yes, it’s fun and it feels good to learn something new and excel at it, but, ultimately, bringing the chips to the spot in front of you is the ultimate high. I like the voice of this narrator. He’s hardened and tough; exactly what we expect and respect about the game. There’s no “grand strategy” here. It’s the basics, but it certainly helped me. I paid less than six bucks for it, which makes The Winner’s Guide the best value on Amazon.
Rating: 5 / 5

This is an excellent book. It contains a great deal of information about what to expect when you enter a casino, the games to play and those to avoid, ettiquette etc. In addition to all this casino-based information it also has a wealth of knowledge on the games themseleves (hold-em, 7 card-stud, Hi-Lo variations, omaha and more) and at this price it is an absolute bargain. Perhaps the only area in which the book needs improvement is its information on tells and psychology.
