 “Hilger's Internet Texas Hold'em” by tennesseetuxedo, 18 Jan 2005

Limit:  3/5   No Limit:  2/5   Tournament:  2/5   Other Highlights:  3/5   Overall Rating:  3/5

Let me be perfectly clear: This is not a bad book on how to successfuly play holdem. I would have no problem recommending this book to anyone who is interested in LEARNING how to play. However, as a book that advertises itself as how to play and win online it is no better than anything else out there. Which is to say: it is a disappointment. 80% of the book is dedicated to the basics of holdem play and strategy. The remaining 20% offers sometimes useful insight into playing online but nothing that is particularly insightful or revolutionary.
