Book Reviews of Hold'em Wisdom for all PlayersBook Review: Great for Beginers Summary: 5 Stars
This is a nice short, but to the point book, great for beginners. If some one is just starting to play, get them this book, it addresses several rookie mistakes. The material was presented in a very readable format. Looking forward to his new release.
Book Review: Improving your game Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great for every poker player. I've been playing for years and Daniel still gave insight on things that I had never thought about. I attempted a few techniques he suggested this past weekend at the casino and they worked perfectly.

Book Review: Perfect! Summary: 5 Stars

Book Review: Well written and entertaining advice Summary: 4 Stars
This book is similar in format to 52 Tips For No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em Poker In that each chapter is mostly independent of the others.
The sections with advice on Hold'em hand situations are geared toward players that already know the basics of hold'em. However, anyone that's read a few books on the game will find some of the advice repetitious.
The book was entertaining and educational for me. I didn't buy the book originally because of the reviews. Then, a friend of mine loaned me a copy and I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. I've read a lot of Poker books lately, and I'd put this one close to the top for fun to read value. Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. 1: Strategic Play is undoubtedly better for someone that's looking for an almost encyclopedic description of one system for playing Hold'em. Daniel's book is obviously not intended for that purpose, but rather contains tidbits of mostly common-sense advice that can be inserted into anyone's game, as well as situational advice on specific hands.
He also talks a little about tilting, dealing with bad beats, rookie mistakes, offers an explanation of small-ball vs long-ball Hold'em strategies, and a lot more. There are 50 chapters, and each one covers a topic like these. Had the publisher shown the chapter headings on the Amazon site, I would have bought the book immediately in-spite of the somewhat negative reviews for it here. Particularly when compared with ecstatic reviews on clearly inferior Poker books I've also found here.
It was a fun book to read, and I can't see how anyone could be disappointed with the content. It's a mass market book for all Hold'em players, as the title clearly states.
Buy it, you won't be disappointed.
