buy Hwang, Slotboom or Farha's book instead, you will get a lot more out of them
 I would not recommend this book February 21, 2008
I purchased it. Tried to get into it. Thought the advice was not well organized and it related to low level play, and frankly, I have read much better books. Sorry to the author - but he did get full retail price from me and I got no benefit from him.
 Sure helped me March 31, 2006
This book was key in my decision to emphasize Omaha Hi-Lo over Hold-em. Since reading it I have had a final table at the Bicycle Casino Mini Series of Poker and a few tournament wins at PokerStars, Absolute and True Poker. What was impressive to me was how he supported his opening hand recommendations with computer simulation, as I had used simulation tools in Scrabble and learned much from them. There may be a weakness in the area of postflop play, but the opening hand section is a big winner. The recommendations on how to play all-high hands were very good too.

Mike cappelletti's book has got to be one of the worst books I've ever read. First of all, he is a very loose player. Play A3 anything? Raise with the 3rd best hand to knock out a 2nd? With a limits most people are playing at people typically will stay in with the 2nd best hand. He also tends to repeat himself quite a bit. How many times do we have to hear a loose game is when 5 or more people see the flop? On top of this he is extremely disorganized. For example he is talking about flop types before preflop play. He also uses too many random charts. Finally his hand examples are terrible. Yes, it's great to know that Hartford is the insurance capital, what the rules are in Tampa, and where you have played, but it's not relevant to o/8. No one cares where you were for each hand example Mike. The bottom line is I cannot recommend this book to anybody without a case of Advil, because your head will be in severe pain after you read this book.Good luck finding advice in this scattered mess. Someone has got to make a good low limit o8 book real soon, because if this is the best out there I'll figure everything out by myself the hard way.

This book isnt worth its small price. The book is disorganized to say the least, making it difficult to read. Furthermore, there is little real usable information, especially for those who are new to Omaha 8. Whereas a good author would write a solid chapter about starting hands (for example), the equivalent in this book is 7-8 articles on a subject, apparently culled from Card Player Magazine. This leaves a lot of questions unanswered and topics unaddressed. Though some of the individual articles arent bad, its no way to write a book. Based on what I have heard and the other books I have read by 2+2 publishing, I wish I had bought the Ray Zee book instead. Bottom line: This book might be ok for someone who has played a little bit of omaha and wants to learn a little more, especially playing recreationally, but if youre serious about learning omaha 8 or taking your game to the next level, look elsehwere.
