REVIEWS

Good solid info for newbies, February 14, 2005
Reviewer: stuartst3 from Oxfordshire
     Been playing for about two weeks using the basic "Top Ten Hands" strategy outlined in the beginners section of this book. I've been really surprised how well I've been doing in single table tournaments with it. Hellmuth writes in a really easy-to-grasp style that anyone should be able to pick up quickly. I was reluctant to buy this book as I've seen the author on TV and he can be a bit of an arrogant jerk at times. I'm glad I put my prejudice to one side though. The guy certainly knows his stuff.

     Having been playing online poker for a few months, i thought i would delve into buying some texts to extend my knowledge and help my play. After reading reviews i decided oin this book by phil hellmuth jr. If you are an absoplute novice, or a regular player, this book will offer you alot. It breaks things down very well, and has had me, at least, thinking about what i am doing alot more than i did than before i read it. A very good purchase, highly recommended.

As a beginner this book was the business., July 2, 2004
Reviewer: apgreenwood from Colchester, Suffolk United Kingdom      In the introduction to this book, the reader is told that they cannot just read it all the way through and expect to win at poker. You are told that to get the most from it you will need to read it slowly and go over parts of the book time and again.
     This has certainly been the case for this poker player who up to 3 months ago had not played poker at all. The main reason why this book worked so well for me is the way it is laid out. By having strategy for beginners then intermediate and finally advanced it allows you to learn at your own pace without being bogged down in strategies you can barely understand. In my opinion this format is the best way to do it as it shows the beginner what to concentrate on until they are comfortable enough to move up to the next level.
     The fact that there are no charts detailing table odds and the like to me is a positive. Phil in this book concentrates on teaching you how to play the hands you will be dealt and the thought processes you should use as the hand progresses to make decisions. Not confusing you by saying well if the table odds are this or if they are that.
     Thanks to this book I am now enjoy playing Texas Hold Em online, when my wife allows and I think it will do the same for you as long as you remember that reading this book alone cannot make you a great poker player, the way you approach it also has an effect.

Mixed feelings about this book, December 8, 2003
Reviewer: merlinme from London, London United Kingdom
     On the one hand, you can't argue with Phil's record as a poker player. And he does talk through a lot of interesting concepts quite clearly. But great players do not necessarily make great teachers, and while Phil is by no means the worst, he's not the best, either. Sometimes he says what you shouldn't do. and then gives an example where he (or another high level Pro) did the 'wrong' thing and got away with it. I'm not sure how helpful this is for the beginner. Again, he's a very instinctive player, with a very particular style. Poker is a game which is very hard to give hard and fast rules with, because it changes so much depending on your style of play (your 'table image') and on your opponents skill and aggressiveness. His animal analogies are interesting, but too often he doesn't explain _why_ he's re-raising the Jackal and not the Mouse. The style he describes for a beginning player (only play the top ten hands, be very aggressive) is sound enough; but very few beginners have the patience to fold 90% of the hands they're dealt. And I think someone who started off trying to use that very aggressive style with his 'intermediate' level (where you play somewhat weaker hands) could get themselves into all sorts of trouble. I'm not sure Phil always explains very clearly why certain tactics might work on some occasions more than others, either. He seems to be a player who relies a lot on reading his opponents, which takes a lot of practice and again, could get a beginner into a lot of trouble. By contrast, while I'm sure he understands pot odds, he mentions them about twice in the entire section on Hold'Em, and charts are pretty rare. Why do people who go all-in pre-flop in no limit hold'em do reasonably well? Phil won't tell you.
     On the positive side, he does describe a lot of very interesting points, and he covers a wide range of topics. The section on Omaha (a game I've not had much to do with) was interesting. So by all means buy it as a reasonably fun read that gets you thinking about some important ideas at a high level, and might introduce you to a few poker variations you weren't aware of. But I'd be very wary about treating it as a 'how to' book for a beginner. 'Winning Low Limit Hold'Em' (Lee Jones) is far better, giving you a fairly consistent message and style which should be enough to get you winning small amounts of money fairly quickly. If you prefer a different game to Hold'Em, again, there are far better places to start than 'Play Poker Like the Pros'.
