Default This Internet Texas Hold\'em book?

I was wondering about this book. Is it a good read?
I heared the title of it on this site. I looked around some book stores for it but no luck.

If you mean the book by Matt Hilger than most people consider it to be solid but not great. Certainly worth a read.

It is an ok book, the basics are explained in a straightforward way


I remember Mathew Hilger saying on the ITH webpage, that he would recommed the first two books that you read to be ITH and SSHE, he then continued that SSHE teaches aggression, which in turn leads to bigger bankroll swings


It is a decent book .. especially if you read SSHE afterwards.

This was one of the first books I ever read on the subject of playing Holdem correctly. I cannot tell you what an aid and asset it has been to my learning the game. If you are new to the game then this will get you thinking the right way. Also the starting hands charts were worth the price of the book. For a new player, it really helped you stay out of situations that someone new can find themselves in.

And the forum and website are great too, so if you can't find it in the stores check Amazon.com or you can order it from the website too.

It is one of the best beginner books, along with Getting Started in Holdem and Winning Low Limit Holdem, 3rd edition. Haven't seen Byron Jacobs beginner book, but it should be a good one too

It was my second poker book. Some garbage Ken Warren book was my first. I unlearned all the bad advice that douchebag spewed pretty quickly with ITH. ITH is way easier to deal with than SSHE for a beginner. Recommend ITH, SSHE, HEPFAP.
