Just started reading this and I cannot put it down. Great pics and I love how it was honestly written. Is this a fav here?

I like it.

Most people rated it somewhere between ok and good.

Mason give it a 10.

It is really nicely done. Nice to see so many pics. I have so many "just strategy" books that this is refreshing

I think it's excellent. It's not a strategy book, and some have an issue about that.

I reckon its a piece of [censored]. Great pictures but that's about it. Taught me NOTHING>

Excellent "coffee table book" although it won't teach you
much about strategy that you already know if you're already
a decent player. Is this also in hardback?

If this book didn't teach you anything about poker, I feel sorry for you. It's not a cookbook: it won't tell you what to do with AJs UTG. But there is a ton of valuable information in there, especially about the nature of gambling and about gambling for a living. Most of the material in the book is stuff that I've never seen in any other poker book. His writing style is concise and the book is put together well.

It is with me. The advice he had regarding making money and holding on to money saved me from tilting off a lot of my bankroll.

It's a nice book, but way overproduced.

Not that I would mind a nicely produced poker book, but this one looks like it was made by a publishers who wanted to make a really fancy book but didn't have any actual design expertise.

For example, why is the title of the book on every other page...not even at the very top of the page, but where you would expect a section header? There is also a ton of unnecessary white space. I found the design flaws distracting from the content of the book.
