Default johnny chan\'s limit hold em book

Is he a skilled limit hold em player?
Is the book good?
Is it ghost written or co-written?

I heard it was a pretty good book, so I thumbed through it at Barnes & Noble yesterday.

It looked great.

It's mostly a series of examples with explanations that follow. But what I really liked was the fact that it addressed mostly heads-up (postflop) situations against tough opponents.

I'll probably be getting this book in the next couple of weeks.

Isn't he supposed to be coming out with a follow up on No Limit?

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.
