Brunson\'s Online Poker Book
 

Just wondering what others who've read Doyle Brunson's "Online Poker" think of the book and especially the advice for hold 'em (particularly, limit).

Much obliged

If it's the book I'm thinking about, I heard it was simply awwwwwwful.

Re: Brunson\'s Online Poker Book
 

isn't it just a section promoting Doyles Room in SS2?

It came with a semi decent CD of brunson playing caro headsup. Beside that its a worthless pos.

Biggest pile of junk ever. Why the great man gave his name to the book I can only put down to his greed. He could never have written this or even read it before it was published. Dreadful

Ditto - Doyle owes me a refund!

I think I read this book, but cant be sure because it was a while ago, and I mostly blocked it from memory.

Pretty much a giant advertisement for Doyle's Room.

Re: Brunson\'s Online Poker Book
 

I briefly have skimmed this one in the bookstores and it's no good.

There are entire chapters on how to download/install/deposit money on... DOYLES ROOM!

It's 95% an advertisement for his poker site and the Doyle "brand" than it has anything to do with poker. Stay very far away from this one.

It is a disgrace. Avoid it like the plague.

Re: Brunson\'s Online Poker Book
 

It really is that bad. At first I was surprised that Doyle would agree to put his name on it... but then again, Doyle has been coming off more and more shady to me as time goes on. Sacrilege, I know.

The bar league I play in used to be affiliated with Doyle and they gave that DVD away as a prize.

The affiliation ended when Doyle closed his room to American players. I wonder how he is able to open it back up given he closed the first one due to the fact, according to an email, that a reliable method of depositing and withdrawing money could not be guaranteed for the American player. I don't think anything has changed in regards to funding an account or withdrawing money from it if you are an American player.

I remember this book specifically because when I briefed through it at the shelves at 'Chapters' I was left thinking to myself... "Geeze, any idiot really can write a poker book!"

Slap a few pages and screenshots together and there you go.

Not calling Cardoza an idiot, but his Internet Hold'Em Poker left me with the same feeling.
