Buy Two Copies

I started playing Texas Hold 'em about a month ago. I consistently lost money until I started reading this book. Now I'm winning consistently, and I'm only halfway through it. I don't mind the term "low-limit" being considered synonymous with "beginner-level," because that is what I am. I play 10¢/20¢ tables online right now. I "graduated" from 1¢/2¢, then 2¢/4¢. Next month I hope to hit the 25¢/50¢ tables.

The point is that I haven't deposited a penny from my bank account since I began reading and applying the words of Lee Jones.

The two best pieces of advice I could possibly give to a new player are to read this book, and never sit at a table with more than 10% - 20% of your money. If you can't afford to lose and have another five or 10 chances to play again another day, you're giving your money away to people like me. This may mean playing for pennies (like I do). Don't feel low-class. Let the bad players build your bankroll to prepare you for the big tables -- not your paycheck.

I guarantee I will re-read this book enough that I'll want another copy -- so I just placed one in my Amazon cart. I hesitated to write a review at all -- thinking that I could only help other people take my money. Then I realized that there are already a ton of positive reviews, and I'm still winning barely a month into the game. So if you're smart enough to actually read a book instead of watching tournament play for your poker education, good for you. I hope to see you winning at the next table over.

A beginner's classic

Read this along with Warren's book and you'll have most of the basics for low limit HE down pat. Play solid hands from the back and let the sheeple donate their cash to you. Also prepare to be drawn out on a whole lot!
Low limit players bitch about all the "suck-outs", but that's what gets you paid after a few thousand hands even out the luck factor. Just be ready for variance and lots of it when you start out. If you can't stand the swings, try chess....or play higher, where a raise means something (at least that's what they tell you, until they play the 40-80 at the Commerce).
You'll be a good tight player once you put this book's advice into practice, but you'll still be a long way from truly solid. Until you can shift gears hard and fast, you won't ever run over a game like you should when you're running good.
Start out here, though, and you'll be well-prepared to get to the next level or two. Then you'll learn to read players well, or go broke. Simply playing tight only goes so far...but you need to be good at it before you move up.

Solid Book on Poker

This is a solid book on poker. The book assumes that you know how to play poker - and focuses on teaching you the strategies to use to beat opponents. Everything you need to know is here - in an understable form. I recommend this book.
--- Glenn G. Thater - Author of 'Harbinger of Doom'.

A rare gem, a instant classic, if I could give this ten stars I would.

In a sea of poker books this stands tall as the best introduction and strategy to the most popular poker game of them all Holdem.

This book is the first step on the journey to becoming a winning poker player.

It's important to have the newest edition

One of the first poker books I ever bought, six years ago, was the first edition of this book. Now it has been updated a couple of times and has definitely improved. The preflop standards are pretty tight, and this will pay off under the proper conditions.
It seems that limit Hold-em games are slowly dying out online. They seem to be tightening up little by little, as well. But if you take advantage of the best rakeback programs (where you get a piece of the rake, whether you put money into the pot on that hand or not), and if you play tight preflop as recommended in this book, you should make a solid income with very little risk. I originally built my bankroll using the advice in this book, but have switched to the no-limit sit and goes now because they are so juicy. Limit tables are tougher to find now, especially during non-peak hours. Still, if you are just starting out at poker, and want to build your bankroll with minimal risk, I suggest you buy this book. But buy the most recent edition! There have been substantial changes.
