Default Re: My sister knows nothing about poker...

Some of it is a good read, but basically it falls between two chairs, the biographical part of it is marred by the instructional parts, but since they are part of a story book and since he tries to cover so many games, the poker advice contain their in is close to none.

He just does not succeed in anything imo, a good idea, and if he devoted the book solely to one game it might have worked but I still have my doubt, still if doubled in size and well written it just might have been good.

As it is it is a pale impersonation of Yardley's book. The poker advice in both books is pretty useless, but at least Yardley has some great stories to tell!
