April 06, 2006: The book itself is pretty solid. The writing isn't particularly good (though the writing sucks in most poker books), but it is chock full of information that's very helpful to *advanced* players. Beginners should stay away from this book until they read a book that emphasizes the basics. The only problem is that it's out of date. Yeah, the NL Hold'em section is fine. But the draw poker is taught with the jacks or better rule in play and in the stud games presented, there's no low qualifier. The Seven Card Stud section is pretty good, but I would recommend Seven Card Stud for Advanced Players by David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth over that section. Unless you're a completist for this stuff, I would recommend picking up Super System II. The NL Hold'em section is the same. However, there's a newly written Limit Hold'em section, Stud Hi/Lo and the only written information about Triple Draw available in text format. There's also a solid section on Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo. Any other section is pretty much bells and whistles.
