RECOMMENDED HANDS DOWN!,
By Chris Moneymaker (LAS VEGAS, NV) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of Poker (Paperback)
daydreamers, as well as anyone else curious about how a professional gambler plies his trade, should read Sklansky and Malmuth."Since Sklansky and Malmuth began producing their revelatory books over a decade ago, the general level of expertise around American poker and blackjack tables has risen exponentially."--Cigar Aficcionado Magazine June 1988

OK for ABSOLUTE beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fundamentals of Poker (Paperback)
Cover to cover, this book will take you about an hour to read. It has good *basic* poker information. If you understand the basics of 7 card stud and hold'em, then there's not a lot of info in here. It breezes over some odds and gives some basic strategy pointers that are VERY conservative (which is good for keeping beginners from being slaughtered when they first take part in a game), but it is mostly "high level" info about the games. It covers other variations of poker as well, but in even less depth.All that being said, I bought it because it qualified me for free shipping. Shipping would have been about $5, the book was $6, so I essentially spent $1 on the book - it was worth the $1. It's worth the $6 if you want a basic primer to get you started - simple to read, easy to understand. But, if you plan on trying to develop your game, there are other books that will give you the primer as well as give a little more depth (not for $6, of course...).

Very Good for starting a game but very shallow,

This review is from: Fundamentals of Poker (Paperback)
This book will help you start your home game. It has the rules and basic strategies for the major games. It won't make you a pro but its very effective for such a small book and a small price. You could not expect much more from a 75 pages booklet.
