 Didnt like this book October 11, 2008
this book was poorly written and was not helpful to me either as a beginner or intermediate or advanced Tx Holdem Poker Player. Waste of money.
 WOW October 10, 2008
Skimmed the book for about 1 hour. Increased my winnings by 25%. Best book in the business.
 Book on Texas Hold'em September 8, 2008
A book titled Texas Hold'em for Dummies.....I got this for my husband who was learning to play the poker game. He had checked out a few books at the library and then I gave him this one. He said it was the best that he had read.

I really know nothing about poker whatsoever, and after reading this book I know the basics. A lot of it was over my head, because I'm really not looking to play in a casino setting, and that's what a lot of it talked about. I did pick up some great tips though and for the price, it was worth the purchase.
Excellent guide August 21, 2008

I am a big fan of televised Texas hold'em, but when I started playing with a group of collegues, I realized this is a tricky game. Texas Hold'em for Dummies is a simple-stupid book that teaches you everything required to survive at the poker table. Easy to understand, plenty of examples, and a great reference if you forget anything. I gived this book two thumbs up-
