He's supposed to be a great NL player, but from what I heard from those that played him, he is a terrible Limit player.

Review of his play: "He only knows 'I'm all in.'" Maybe a little harsh, but I got the point.

He used to be very weak at limit poker, but he improved his limit game significantly in the late ‘90’s and early 00’s.

It's marginal. Probably worth reading but not worth studying over and over like a 2+2 book.

The book is junk. The only people who could possibly claim it's any good are die hard Johnny Chan fans. Don't waste your time.

Rubbish, and anybody who frequents and actively participates ANY 2+2 strategy forum at a regular basis probably won't pick up anything useful from this book IMO.

"Million Dollar Hold' Em - Limit Cash Games" Is not a bad book, but don't expect any deep insight either. It consists of almost entirely hand examples, how he would play them, his thinking etc. I found it a good bathroom book, reading a hand or two on the can. It has a nice layout, and covers a lot of concepts through hand examples.

Kinda weak book. Kinda like adman said. A lot of congratulating you for being aggressive and winning pots with A8s. Raise preflop, see the pot with 2 opponents. Bet turn and lose 1 opponent. Bet river and lose the second, congratulations.
