Book Reviews of Hold'em Wisdom for all Players
Book Review: As advertised...
Summary: 5 Stars
"Hold 'em Wisdom" is the appropriate title for this fantastic book! Anyone who has seen Daniel Negreanu play Texas Hold 'Em on television can plainly see the man is gifted in the ways of poker. This book is a very easy, non-convoluted read. Daniel cuts to the marrow of what it takes to make a novice poker player better, an intermediately skilled poker player great, and an expert understand what he's dealing with with less skilled players at the table. Although he touches on the varying types of play (tournament, limit, etc.), this book primarily deals with no-limit cash play. Daniels follow-up book, "More Hold 'em Wisdom", expands into techniques and examples drawn from all disciplines. I am a competent player. This book improved my game ten-fold! The book deals less with the mechanics of the game. It drives home the essential outlook and the things you should be concentrating on at a table with varyingly skilled players. He does get into specifics and the mathematics involved (odds, etc.). However, the beauty is less in the "logic" and more in the "wisdom" necessary to make poker less about "luck." Making informed decisions by reading your opponents, understanding "position", and tapping into the psychology necessary to dominate players that are myopic in their approach.Book Review: You need to give a careful reading to Daniel Negreanu's "Hold'em Wisdom For All Players"!

Summary: 5 Stars
I was somewhat skeptical about this book after reading some of the reviews on this site. Nevertheless, because Daniel is my favorite player, I wanted to give it a try.
What a great book! It's so . . . Daniel! Informative, entertaining, at times humorous, and so easy-to-read.
One of the problems I have with some poker books is that they get too damn complicated. I mean, seriously, have you checked out Chen's book, The Mathematics of Poker?
Just before I sit down to play at the WSOP, I'm going to rifle through this book one more time to remind myself how Daniel advises to play smart, particularly with those troublesome hands like pocket jacks, small pairs, and suited connectors.
Does the book uncover the super-secret Jedi formula to winning at poker? Of course not. Can this book help make you a better and smarter player? That's my bet.
Book Review: Great Book..now to apply it properly
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I didn't finish Supersytem, this book is definitely a great one. For those of us who have been playing for a little while......I have experienced the issues he says NOT to do....it can definitely step up your game....giving different plays for different times...giving insight into what and how to play certain hands in certain situations...it was worth the purchase moneyBook Review: A Great Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is well written and a fun read. It is not intended for "experts" and I am not sure why a self described "poker expert" would need a book to improve their game. With 50 short chapters (2-3 pages each) this is a great book to pick up for quick tips on how to improve your game.
