 Great book for poker fans from one of the greats! May 11, 2005
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I think this was a wonderful buy. I don't buy the larger paperbacks, so this was a totally new book for me. I saw the other reviews, and it clearly states on the back cover that this is Hold'em information from PLAY POKER LIKE PROS. So you are just saving yourself about 8 bucks to buy the cheaper version! Works for me. Phil gives the 10 essential hands to play, helps you learn how to read your opponents and lots more. I was very pleased with this book and I even won my weekly poker game last week after sticking with Phil's Top Ten Hands. I highly recommend this book. Whether you love him or hate him, the man is a darn good poker player!!
 This is a REPRINT April 14, 2005

Most anyone has an opinion of the Poker brat, Phil Hellmuth. I knew going in that the book was going to be a lot of self-promotion and fluff. Phil did not disappoint me :) He mentions his website and other sites quite often. Unfortunately, a lot of poker books do that, including Super System II. It is annoying, but not too bad.
What was good about the book was the indepth look at limit and no limit poker from various degrees of expertise, ranging from beginner levels to advanced. Phil explains what to do after the flop against certain players, how much to bet and why. I was really amazed at the level of information Phil has revealed in this book I bought for under $5.00. The main bonus I got from this book is that I have not read some of the info Phil explained before in any other poker book. His analysis of other players at the table and how he plays at them is remarkable.
Some people said this book is a reprint of chapters from one of his other books. I say, good for the rest of us. I do not have any of Hellmuth's other books and probably will not buy any others from him, but I was pleased to have this one to refer to while playing.
Phil explains his strategy for winning tournaments and making final tables, which he is very good at doing, regardless of whether you like him or not. He mentions strategies for internet playing and how to advance in tournaments. In the appendix, he shares several experiences from past tournaments, including the WSOP. I see no way you could be disappointed with this book for the price, unless you have read the info already in one of Phil's other books. For me, I was very happy and felt the book was definitely worth the price and more.
HUGE RIP OFF!!! March 29, 2005

If you already own or have already read Hellmuth's Play Poker Like the Pros then forget about buying this book. It is merely a reprint of chapters one through seven, chapter 15, the appendices and glossary in that book. Maybe if they had been above board and advertised this, it wouldn't feel like I got ripped off!
OOPS...there are 14 WHOLE PAGES of new material...my mistake!
