Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My favorite
Bought several hold-em books. This is by far the best. I keep re-reading different parts and learn something new each time. Chris Ferguson's chapters are especially helpful, informative, and easy to understand.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - In depth look at poker's greatest minds
This book is a great way for inexperienced tournament players to understand what is supposed to be going through their heads whenever they're playing a tournament. Probably the best thing about this book is that you see that there is not only one way to play correctly. You get to see things from different perspectives, and I think that is a great way to learn. Overall this book is a must have for a poker player that is looking to get into tournament poker.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Contradictory genius
I was a poll watcher on election day this year, and since there were long chunks in the middle of the day when nobody was voting, I brought this book along with me.

Wow. I've probably read about 40 poker books in the past three or four years, and this one truly rivals Harrington and Gordon's volumes as a great read, with immediate practicality.

I was worried when I bought it that it would just be a rehashing of all the tips that Full Tilt gives out on their website from the pros, but it was nothing like that.

Ferguson, Matusow, Forrest, Lederer and more gave great information about styles of play that they employed, but the great thing was, there was contradiction among them, showing obviously, we each need to find out what's best for us. I think Ted Forrests' chapter was incredible, easily my favorite. This book also has chapters on the the non hold'em games, and with HORSE and other tourney's gaining more and more popularity, I found these extremely valuable.

This is one of the best poker books out there.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not quote comprehensive, but about as good as it gets these days.
Michael Craig (ed.), The Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide: Tournament Edition (Grand Central, 2007)

"Comprehensive" is not the way to describe this book, but I'm not entirely sure what is. Why is it that so many poker books are so... imposing? This isn't quite the doorstop the two Super/System offerings are, but it certainly aspires-- well over four hundred pages. As with those two books, this one contains a number of chapters contributed by a number of different high-profile poker stars, among them Mike Matusow, Howard Lederer, and Huck Seed. Unlike most of the poker books I've seen recently (and like the Super/System books), The Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide doesn't limit itself to Hold'em, taking on such esoteric subjects as Omaha/8. There's even a Razz chapter. (Thus the presence of Huck Seed, most of whose WSOP bracelets have come in Razz events.)

A lot of it's stuff you've read before, but it never hurts to hear it again, and-- especially if you've spent most of your time reading about Hold'em-- there's much to be learned here as well. Personally, I think it's worth the price of admission just for the Omaha/8 chapter. ****



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - If you are a poker player, you need this book!
