Book Reviews of Poker for Dummies
Book Review: My first book but a great one
Summary: 5 Stars
Besides teaching me the bare basics of winning poker, this book seriously jump-started my interest in Poker. I just picked up this book when I saw it and thought I might get an edge over the people in my poker group. Already I am cleaning out their pockets. Now I'm looking to get more advanced books so I can head up to the Taj for some Hold 'em action. I used to think all poker was bluffing like in the wild west... I never would have thought playing a computer could be valuable to my poker game. I couldn't have been more wrong. Get this book; it will improve your poker game if you've never read a poker book before.Book Review: Great book for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never played poker in a casino before, just some nickel games with some friends while I was drinking. This book showed me how to play and showed me that if I'm willing to practice and willing to be patient I can be a competent player and maybe win some money. I've bought several books since then and played quite a few hours at nearby casinos and this is the book that I review on the way. If you know how to play well this is a handy reference if you aren't able to play frequently.Book Review: Pointless . . . Move On
Summary: 1 Stars
This books is too broad in scope. I love the "Dummies" books, however this one misses its many marks. Until you see "Pot Limit Texas Hold'em for Dummies" or "9/6 Jacks or Better for Dummies", I'd pass on this one and find any of the other well written books that pertain to the certain subject for which you are looking.Book Review: Very poorly written
Summary: 1 Stars
Poker for Dummies is very poorly written, because it's very hard to follow. There's also a lot of waste material (commonly known as "BS") that doesn't help your poker game at all, but is there to make the book thick. The core on better poke games is difficult to understand. I regret having bought this book.Book Review: Beginners start here
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book with "Fundamentals of Poker." This was a better buy for the information. As a true beginner, I wanted the biggest bang for the buck, and I got it here. For the beginner/novice, start here. A good read offering a sound foundation for the neophyte, I hope!
