Not too enlightening. Don't waste your time
This book is for novices. No real poker strategy expounded upon. Do I need someone to telle that if I'm on a losing streak to "slow down?" Or if the streak continues, I should "quit?" Or only play the best 20 hands? Do I care that the author has a pet peeve with the design of decks? Sadly, this is one of the only poker books the public library in area has.
