Re: Prelim review of Ultimate Guide to Poker Tells
[ QUOTE ]
I am about 80 pages in and so far I am extremely disappointed. Most of the text so far has been re-writes of Caro's book and a few liberally borrowed tells from other players published work-ie Super/System and Ciaffone's "Improve Your Poker". Not much original or uniquely useful info in the first 80 pages. Also I liked Caro's play by play with pictures approach more than straight text. On an Amazon scale of 1-5 it gets a 2. If you are a poker book fanatic and have read them you will probably have most of what this book contains. I will give an update if the remainder of the book turns more positive or useful.

When I asked how he improved upon or differed from Caro, and he basically said he uses holdem examples instread of draw, that told me there is little new ground covered here. Your post seems to confirm that.
Keep us posted if you find anything original.
