Yes it is a well organized primer, which is indeed a rare thing in poker

wtf is a primer?

[/ QUOTE ]

A book that covers the basic elements of a subject.



Tho this is not fair actually, the book does not do handrankings and blinds and such. But it start very basic with discussion what pokerstats are and mean ... different player types

Then goes on to talk pf and so on ...


The good thing about it, is that it is not rooted in some sort of pre-boom weaktight scenario.

Sharks are running 30/20 and so on ...



I've only read 70 out of the +300 pages, but it really make a very nice first impression. I like that it seems very comprehensive (tho some poster like it when the author is holding back and publish conflicting examples to make you have to work hard)
