simply the best and most important book out there
I re-read this book every few months, and learn something new every time.
There are concepts in here that were so revolutionary when first published that they changed the game. Now, some of them are old hat, but you must know them inside and... more

Opened my eyes about poker
This book was *amazing*, and truly expanded my understanding of how to make good decisions while playing poker. I've read at least a dozen poker books, and this one really stands out; it seems like every half dozen pages or so there was something that... more

THE BEST BOOK ON POKER, HANDS DOWN.
Sklansky is the best writer on poker theory and strategy, and this is his best book, period. This is not a light read or an easy read, but its not poorly written either, its just that he examines his Fundamental Theory of Poker with a good bit of math... more

The best book
This is the best poker book ever written. It makes everything that is unclear clear. After reading this i did not have to trust my inuition any more, instead I could apply cold logic into every poker decision.

One of The Top Ten Poker Books in the world
I recently bought three books about poker from Amazon.ca Internet Texas Holdem, Holdem Poker for Advanced Players and this book The Theory of Poker after searching Google for reviews on poker books. I just finished reading this one and let me tell you... more

Fabulous Book
I'm a small time No-Limit Texas Hold'em player, and this was the first book I purchased. I think now it was a mistake to go in that order because it was a difficult read. Like another reviewer said. Treat this like a Bible. If you are starting out with... more

Great fundamental reading, not for beginner though
The Theory of Poker is great general reading, but note this is not "simple" reading. If you know about game theory and expected value then this will be easier reading. If you are new to poker then I recommend reading this book after you've got some... more

Most Important Book In Poker
Let's get right to the point. This is the single most important book on poker ever published. The Theory of Poker does not contain a lot of information on how to play certain hands, and in those places where it does, it is only to illustrate a bigger... more

The Real "Poker Bible"
Read and re-read this book. You will need to do that to grasp some of the concepts within. All you need to know about poker theory is in here. If you are serious about poker and taking your game to a higher level - this is a must have - no question.more

Fantastic information; but gets tedious as it progresses.
I think this book has spoken for itself, but I'll add to the praise. This book is phenomenal. While it is not meant to address any specific hand situations or strategies, the concepts put forth are so invaluable that you're giving your opponent an edge... more

Information is priceless, but presentation is tedious.
This book does a fantastic job of presenting the most important weapons available to a poker player, as well as putting each in the perspective of many different situations in which the tool is either over-applied or under-appreciated.

what else can be said
This book tries to aim at the 'basic' players, but it really is aimed at advanced players that have some experience at the table and know about most of the concepts in the book already.
David Sklansky teaches you about pot odds, mathematical expectation,... more

Theory of Poker
Great book, well worth reading whatever form of poker you play. Teaches about general theory which can be applied to situations in general rather than how to play a specific hand.

If you want to play poker seriously you must read this book
Look, its like this, a lot of people play poker. Its getting more and more popular every year. If you just do it for fun, or don't really care if you win or not, then this book may not be for you. If you are serious about playing poker, want to actually... more

great book
I didn't really care for this book that much...it was very "general" I did not really find a lot of stuff in it that i thought i could use to make m game much better. Maybe because i am fairly new...but i still need to be spoon fed a lot of this information.more

I loved it
This book was great. It was an analytical and a foundation building book for the art/science that is poker.

If there was one book, this would be it!
If I had to choose one book out of my library of 30+ poker books, I'd choose this one: The Theory of Poker. The book's topics include a wide range of topics that cover all aspects of poker. The examples are clear and understandable, yet the theory is... more

Poker 101 textbook
This is a perfect textbook for a class on poker. Do not pick this book and expect to walk way knowing the ins and outs of your particular game. This is a book that needs to be studies and reviewed.

Position play is very important part of poker and... more
