Book Reviews of The Theory of Poker: A Professional Poker Player Teaches You How To Think Like One
Book Review: This book definitely improved my game
Summary: 5 Stars
I am only halfway through the book but it has already improved my game. The way that Sklansky presents the information helps you to think about the way the competition is thinking and how they may play their hand. This is the second book I've purchased that was written by Sklansky and I will be purchasing more. His books will be reference material for the rest of my poker playing career.Book Review: And I don't play poker
Summary: 5 Stars
I play many games, but not poker. But I still learned a lot!
Sklansky ties everything back to one simple idea, "The Fundamental Theorem of Poker", and he does it in a way which exposes the key ideas and some connections between them. And I ready to play a killer game now? Of course not. But I now have the key concepts and a roadmap to learn how to play.
Book Review: Every Serious Player Has This Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read this book so many times that I could probably recite it word for word. Sklansky has written a must-have classic for the poker world. This book is all solid theory. The examples cover Hold 'Em, 7-Stud, Razz and everything in between. of all the poker books I have studied, none have made an impact on my game like Theory of Poker. BUY THIS BOOK!Book Review: Good Poker
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for people that already understand how to play poker. It helps to have some knowledge of the different versions of the game, but there is a glossary just in case. It is a very good read for those who like to understand theory. It also has tips on improving your game, but the focus is on the why of poker. The book really makes you think.Book Review: If there was one book, this would be it!
Summary: 5 Stars
If I had to choose one book out of my library of 30+ poker books, I'd choose this one: The Theory of Poker. The book's topics include a wide range of topics that cover all aspects of poker. The examples are clear and understandable, yet the theory is all encompassing and thought provoking. Of all books, this one made the greatest impact on my poker game.
