 Full Tilt Poker, Strategy Guide November 18, 2009
Larry B. Levin (San Antonio TX)
Very good book for decent players. Will probably only read half of the chapters. Enjoyed it so far.

A Unique Voice in Every Chapter July 28, 2009

The best part of this really excellent book is that each of the players comes through as a unique individual talking about a different aspect of the game. Michael Craig was succeeded in tightly editing the book without losing the essential style of each of the players. Gavin Smith sounds like Gavin Smith and Mike Matusow is clearly "The Mouth". Even the nit-picky Chris Ferguson comes through in his authentic voice. Tough task--well done.
A wise investment June 15, 2009

The first thing I would say about this particular publication is also my only gripe; anytime you have poker players write for the purpose of reading (go figure right?), is that its going to be dry, emotionless and really hard to fallow. But then again its poker and not "The Notebook". Aside from that, the lessons and insight given are nearly priceless when considering the context. Even if the only tournament play you experiance is your weekly home game, this book will pay for itself the first time. If you do play at a more serious level, you cant afford to miss out on the information shared.
br /Extremely in-depth analysis that sheds a fresh new light on areas that you may have overlooked in you overall playing style. I very wise investment indeed.
Ideal for advanced tournament streategy! February 11, 2009

Most of the things you need to know are already written in other reviews.
br /
br /Those reviews made me decide to buy this one, and I didn't regret it for a moment.
br /
br /This book is excellent for tournament guidance, it contains material about various poker games, Hold 'em, Omaha, Stud etc, even Razz.
br /
br /It is written in the style of Super System, with various people writing chapters in it. What is important is that this book is actually not for absolute beginners! You need to know the games to be able to fully understand it, but that is its big advantage also! It does not spend pages after pages on obvious stuff, it is full of advanced (if not proffesional) material!
br /
br /For those of you who know how to play the games and maybe even tried their luck in a couple of tournaments (online or real life)...
br /
br /and now want to make the next step and become an actually good tournament player, this book is GREAT!
br /
br /Fully recommendeded!
br /
br /After all, if Chris Ferguson, Andy Bloch, Ted Forrest, Howard Lederer, Mike Matusow etc give their best it this book (and they do, have no doubt about it!), How can you miss this?
br /
br /PS: Personally, I would buy this book only for the charts that Andy Bloch gave in it!
br /
br /Andy has created a "chart of rankings of 169 two-card combination", and then:
br /-charts of playable hands by position (in percentages, from the previous chart),
br /-hands to play by position in ante and no-ante tournaments,
br /-playable hands by position after a reraise,
br /-Jam or fold and
br /-"every hand against random hand / top half hands / top quarter hands / top 10% hands"
br /
br /these charts are pure gold! And they are nowhere else to be found!
br /
br /Thanks Andy!
