"Don't read this book! If everyone followed the instructions in this book I'd have to find a new line of work. P.S. If you see a long haired homeless guy sleeping on a park bench, please give him a dollar."

-- Chris Ferguson, Champion, 2000 World Series of Poker

In spite of being a consistent winner at low-limit Hold’em, Lee Jones still has to work for a living, so he is a Computer Aided Design programmer in Silicon Valley. He is delighted that he can now play cardroom poker smoke-free. He always enjoys local home games where there's no rake and you don't toke the dealers.

He got into poker about fourteen years ago, having studied blackjack a lot and discovering that you had to drive a long way from San Jose to play blackjack with pretty bad rules against a multi-billion dollar corporation that was determined to beat you. Poker is a much easier way to make money at cards.

Lee is a NAUI-certified scuba instructor, and spends as much time as possible teaching scuba in the Monterey area and diving all over the world. It turns out that in scuba diving, like poker, the idea is to find as many fish as possible.

His other interests include writing, ultimate Frisbee, trout fishing, and performing music.

He and his wife, Lisa, live in San Jose with Lisa’s sons David and John. All four of them scuba dive, perform music, and play poker, so his life is pretty darn good.


Since its first publication in 1994, Winning Low-Limit Hold'em, by Lee Jones, has become a major reference on playing Texas Hold'em at the lower limits. However, poker has changed over the several years and Lee has continued to study the game. The result is this revised and expanded second edition.

If you would like to learn to play Hold’em, this book is solid. It won’t teach you a lot of advanced poker theory, but it will give you a solid foundation with which you can be a winner at low-limit Hold’em.

This book is very elementary, perhaps a good starting point for the beginners. I much prefer Sklansky's Advanced Hold'em and Miller's Small-Stakes Hold'em for really developing your limit game. If you would like to get introduced to the game of limit Texas hold'em, you can start here, but you'll eventually graduate to one or both of the aforementioned books.

 “Lee Jones' Winning Low-Limit Holdem” by TKM, 23 Sep 2005

Limit:  4/5   No Limit:  3/5   Tournament:  1/5   Other Highlights:  3/5   Overall Rating:  4/5

As the title suggests, as well as the beginning of the book, the stretegies are designed for low-limit games, where you'll likely encounter alot of passive-callers. Given that pretext, this book provides rock solid advice for beginning players. Highly recommended.



 “weak tight” by ihategnomes, 25 May 2005

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

This book will teach you how to not lose and not make much either. The overall play is a bit weak tight for me. In smaller limits, you must learn to play aggressively in limit HE.



 “Jones' Winning Low Limit Holdem Review” by Trent Rollow, 18 Jan 2005

Limit:  4/5   No Limit:  1/5   Tournament:  1/5   Other Highlights:  3/5   Overall Rating:  4/5

This book won't make you a winner in $10-$20 games, but has good solid advice for most games below that. The amazing thing about this book is that loose low-limit players will play the same way (ie, lots of reckless raises and/or dumb calls) against an opponent using the strategems outlined in the book AGAIN AND AGAIN. If you study the material carefully (especially the starting hand requirements), this book alone is enough to make you a consistent winner. Raising, bluffing, free cards, and the like are described better elsewhere; however, for the novice or occasional gambler this book is a must read. You'll save the price immediately in what you don't lose at the poker tables. Although the book is primarily aimed at those playing low-limit poker in card clubs (especially in California), I have found it to help my play in private games and on the Internet as well.
