The definitive text on Texas Hold'em
Every time I read through this book I learn something new or remember something I've forgotten because there is so much good info. For new players the hand ranking tables alone are probably worth the purchase price. Many of the plays described target... more

The definitive guide for hold?em players
This is more or less considered the 'bible' for texas hold'em players, and for good reason: Sklansky and Malmuth are recognized as the leading authorities on poker strategy. While HPFAP is a difficult read, nearly every single aspect of proper hold'em... more

Well-written book, covers a broad range of topics
The name of the book implies that it is only for advanced players but a significant portion of the book is dedicated to hand rankings and their correlation with position play. Although the points are nice to review over, most "advanced" poker... more

Casino Rama Kid
This IS the bible to limit hold'em....a must have.

This book is not for no-limit holdem!
I don't know if other reviews touch on this, but this book is intended for limit holdem games. While many of the ideas can be applied to no limit games, the author continually discusses limit play. This is important since there is little in the book... more

Without a Doubt a GREAT BOOK
Buy it, learn it and play better. This book is perhaps one of the best in poker. It won't teach you to win huge amounts of money but you won't lose any money. You'll win a pot once an hour or so but consistently and you'll be happy doing it as you get... more

This is the one
The greatest Book on Hold'em. This is the book that will make you $. All of the others can get you slightly above break even...but thios one will push you squarely in the black

Excellent Book!
This is a great book if you know a lot about poker. The first time I read this book I was very confused about the concepts within the chapters. However, once I played at the casinos, EVERYTHING made perfect sense. My game has greatly improved because... more

Confusing
I consider myself an above average player who was looking to take my game to the next level. I hoped this book would take me there, but I found it too confusing. The normal tip goes something like this: In this certain situation, you may want to consider... more

Full Coverage
This has full coverage, while the intro Hold 'Em Poker book has a better intro to the game (and is probably required reading before this book because it kinda just jumps into the details). The ideas will certainly improve your results (nearly every time... more

Jargon + No Logic = Confusion
Wow, what a mind bruising experience! I practiced law for 11 years, I program code for a living now and I've written two books myself (leasing and bankruptcy) so I know full well about what is confusing and what is not. I've also been playing poker... more

Amazing Book
Truly for the advanced player, this book will confuse the new player. Once you feel like you can play well and have a good understanding of the game, this becomes a must read to take your game to the next level. The book could use a bit of editing for... more

Horribly Written and About 50% Unhelpful
I am an advanced player, and I can tell you: this book is not very helpful to the great majority of readers. Sklansky and Malmuth certainly seem to know alot about poker. But they just don't know how to communicate their ideas in a useful fashion. ... more

For Advanced Players - yes. Good situational guide!
I thought I knew Texas Hold 'Em pretty well, so I bought this book and read it. I was fascinated with the presentation, but confused with the material, definitions and some tactics. Bottom line: I'm not as Advanced as I thought I was. I found myself... more
