Daniel Negreanu, Hold'em Wisdom for All Players (Cardoza, 2007)
It seems these days as if every professional poker player on the planet has a book (or a number of books) out, is writing a book, or is negotiating a book deal. Pretty tall order when the World Series of Poker is going on as I write this. The most recent (until next week) of these is Daniel Negreanu, who dropped two books on us within the space of a few months. Hold'em Wisdom for All Players, the smaller of the two, is a collection of articles he did for various websites and magazines. To be blunt, there's not a great deal here you haven't read before, as long as you've read three or four books on the game; the reason to pick this up and read it is that Negreanu's teaching style is a great deal different than, say, Dan Harrington's. The information to be found here is in small, easily-digestible bites that may be a little easier to fully internalize than you've seen before. Also, Negreanu directly addresses a few topics most pros only mention in passing (the playing of small suited connectors, for example), and that can be worth your time as well, if you haven't figured out what to do with them on your own.
For the beginner, or as a refresher course if you're feeling down in the mouth. ***
Book Review: Well, not exactly ALL players.
Summary: 3 Stars
The title says that this is Hold'Em Wisdom for All PLayers. However, in the first few 'chapters', it's explained that the advice he is giving is for novice or beginning players.
And that's exactly what it is. If you already have a basic understanding of pot odds, draws, starting hands, etc then you can forego this book. It is all pretty fundamental.
However, I would say that if you are a complete beginner then this book would probably be a good starting place. That said, I'd still say Harrington on Hold'Em 1 is a better place to start.
Book Review: Nothing new
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is average. If you have read any poker books you've probably heard all the concepts in this book, and you've probably heard them in greater detail. It's an easy read and the book is a good review for some basic concepts.
It's difficult to recommend this book. If you are a beginner there are better books out there and if you an intermediate or advanced player you have already heard most of these ideas.
Book Review: Meh... Its OK at best
Summary: 3 Stars
I'll give it 3 stars simply because I believe it can help intro level beginners and/or really bad players who think they know how to play poker. I will admit a couple concepts got me thinking about concepts in a way I've never thought about them before. But, for a that is supposed to have 50 great tips, I'd say only about 2 or 3 of them got me thinking past, "uhhhh. duh".Book Review: eh
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is easy to read, but offers little new advice. No new ideas like i was hoping for but maybe his next book will be better. Its a tweener book because its not for people who are starting to play holdem and its not for people who have been playing for awhile.
