Pros:-
- Perfect for low to mid stake game.
- Easy to understand especially for a beginner.
- Example Hands are given which makes it very interesting all along the way.
- Teaches us how to deal with fishes and Regs in all possible situations.
- Feel very confident after reading the book.

Cons:-
- Could have included more examples of multi-wayness and how to deal with it as it is very common on low stake tables.
- Could have included a chapter of practical game which is very important at online tables where we have plenty of choice for table selection.
- Could have given us a few more hand review exercises in the end which could be a great confidence builder.

The best poker book for NL holdem 6-max ever written.

I've read quite a few, but none came remotely close to this one. The way the author represents charts, starting hands, positions and the usage of HUD in real life is impeccable. Whether you are a total novice looking to learn some basic stuff or aspiring poker pro who wants to crush up to 100NL, this is THE book for you. I don't usually write reviews online but I had to for this book because it's THAT good! Got me a lot of sweet $ from Fishes

Easily the best book on no limit holdem, especially for a table of 6. If you can do with some basic calculations in your head, you are in for winning some good bread online. The system is made considering the new-agey poker trackers and HUDs available(although not in India). But you can still get a good scan on your opponents in a while and apply the general ideas.

Happy winning!

A bit dated, as the author himself has said. But it's instructive, very well structured, and rich in hand examples. Good (but dense) read over all.

Probably my favorite poker book ever my first few years of studying.

A complete and practical guide to 6-handed online cash NLHE games. All strategies are backed by statistics, and each section contains numerous example hands to test the reader's understanding. While some of the material seemed counterintuitive to me at first, it quickly helped me to improve several aspects of my game. Any serious player looking to improve their game will find this guide highly valuable.

Nice job. I learned a few poker techniques that I did not know. All in all a good book. Not sure it is worth $60.00.
