Review of Ace on the River

[morgan180]

I just finished AOTR and I have to say that I really enjoyed reading it. I thought the insight in to the poker world was interesting and the hand examples at the end were set up in a great way. I personally read so fast that I consume information, the hand histories really made me stop and answer the questions and think about what was going on. I was happy that most of my answers matched when I turned the page.

This book is unlike the myriad other poker books that I have read. It is more like a conversation with Barry on poker, rather than a purely instructive text. I think more hand examples would give even more insight but I have to say I was very impressed with it, even though there has been mixed reaction here.
