Not for beginners  |
|
Although many more advanced players praise this book, it is not for beginners. It is too mixed up with examples drawn from too wide a range of games. Getting a book that deals with just the game you are interested in is more useful. If that game is Texas Hold em I recommend Ken Warren A Winers Guide to Texas Holdem which is much easier to understand and better written.

A solid read for those interested in winning at casino poker  |
|
If you thought you knew before how to approach the game of poker, this book will completely change your mind. Sklansky paints a very businesslike portrait of what it takes to be a consistent winner at real stakes poker. From understanding raising, to caculating your odds for actually betting your hand, this book can give any weekend player a boost to the next level. The best part is that this book is not a one time read. To fully benefit, one must continue to study the tools provided within in order to eventually master the basic mathmatics that will make the average player become a powerful player. Already I am reaping the benefits, and I feel as if I am just starting to learn. The "Theory of Poker" is an excellent text for learning an age old game you thought you already knew.

Hard going but on the whole an excellent book |
|
Having played only a small number of comps at my local casino, I new I needed more of an edge over my fellow players. This book has helped a great deal as it covers just about everything needed, semi-bluffs, full bluffs, position etc etc. It has improved my game without doubt although it did take two / three reads!
