[Tommy Miller · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am disappointed in this book. Nothing seems to go beyond anything. Filled with simple explanations that dont scratch any real surface on any real specific examples. Read to me like it was written by someone who just learned poker two weeks before it was written.

[Brian Basham · Rating 1 out of 5]

Awful poker book that often repeats the same concepts that have no real relevance to the game. If you want to improve your poker game in any way then this is a complete waste of time and space. The main point of the book which is repeated throughout is to not beat yourself. That's it. You're welcome.

Especially for psychology junkies, this book takes the poker mind (the mind of everyone) open and revelas information on the facets of display and deception. Kind of a good read for youngsters to avoid or mitigate possible unethical dilemas life will provide.
