February 02, 2009: This is a great book if you have less than a year of experience and are looking to improve your game. I found myself winning more immediately after reading just the first few chapters. Daniel clarifies moves that you probably already know but also introduces some new weapons to your arsenal. This is not a good book if you are intermediate to advanced level. Also, as your game improves and you get more experience, you won't really need this book because it just doesn't cover more advanced strategies. Nevertheless, it will strengthen your game noticably if you have never read a poker book before. It is a solid foundation upon which to build your castle of poker knowledge. If I were to recommend a single book to someone as a first book for them to read, I would say this is it.
