It gets mentioned in quite a few lists, although there are some people who think that only 2+2 publishes poker books.

yeah, really outstanding book..

and if you're not sure, you can just look at his CP columns... in fact, i think the book is just old columns, although i don't mind purchasing it.

i think CP should put together past columns into book format... then ciaffone could have put out a really good book in a timely manner. maybe throw in a little new material too.

Just a heads up: Real Poker III: The Best of Cooke 1992 to 2005 will be published later this year...probably by Summer.

Just wanted to thank you guys for this thread. I had never heard of Real Poker II: The Play of Hands. I picked it up, read it, and was very impressed. This is definitely one of the best poker books I've ever read. I can't wait to read it again to pick up on all the stuff I'm sure I missed the first way through!

Expecting mine to arrive any day now. Is there anything on shorthanded play? what limits is the book geared towards?

I've got this book on order, should also be here soon.

In case you didn't know, Roy's columns for Card Player since like 2003 are available on the Card Player website. I've got them all printed, they're very good. If you're interested in his books you should check them out.
