About Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth Jr., voted the "Best Poker Tournament Player in the World" in 1997 by his peers,
is a nine-time World Series of Poker Champion and a WSOP leading money winner.
His first book, Play Poker Like the Pros, was released in 2003 and has quickly become the
essential text for mastering poker. A contributor to Gambling Times magazine and Card Player,
he lives with his family in Northern California.
Hellmuth knows his craft and has now decided to pass a little of his wisdom on to less-skilled players.
As the introduction stresses, this is not a book to be perused casually;
rather, you read it like a textbook, a training manual for effective poker playing,
at both beginning and advanced levels. Hellmuth details card combinations and analyzes
situations with the precision of a surgeon. The art of reading other players receives in-depth analysis.
What's unique here is the breadth of coverage, focusing not only on traditional table
play but also on online gaming, at which many high-end players now prosper.
An extensive glossary makes for entertaining reading on its own, as does the
impressive listing of Hellmuth's top-50 wins. A must for any gaming collection.
