Default Review: Secrets the Pros Won\'t Tell... Krieger/Bykofsky




Secrets the Pros Won’t Tell You About Winning Hold’em Poker
Lou Krieger and Sheree Bykofsky
Copyright 2006
List price $14.95 USD



Secrets?! This book is simply a collage of ideas from Theory of Poker, Harrington on Hold’em, and Book of Tells. And these ideas are presented poorly, with much unintended repetition, and often in a contradictory manner with little explanation. Furthermore, many of the suggestions are borderline retarded (“never draw to the 2nd nut”). I won’t even bother to further summarize this bound packet of toilet paper. Instead, I’ll simply recommend that you purchase a copy and give it as a gift next time your regular game’s fish has a birthday… It will be $15 well spent

Thanks for the review.
I'm a sucker for this sort of title, so useful to know that this is one to avoid.

I bought this book knowing it was bad. All Krieger books are terrible yet I still enjoy reading them. I think reading a book of flawed ideas can still be educational as long as one has read all the "right" books. Anyone still learning the game should avoid these dangerous books.

Please buy this book. It will be good for mid-limit HE games.
