Before reading this book, I was an okay poker player. Not great by any means, but I could beat people I know, and hold my own. After several days of reading this book, I came 1st in an 800 person multi table tournament. That's good results for ya.

Ken Warren is quite humorous. Unintentionally so.

Here are some of my favorite quotes.

- -

Cards can and do run in cycles. The theory of large numbers says so. If you experience a period where it seems like nothing but the low cards are winning the pots, then start playing the low cards! (The trick is knowing when the cycle ends and low cards should not be played anymore.)

- - -

It's unlikely that you can hit perfect-perfect to make a great hand, so those times when you do, your hand will usually be very well disguised. The other players know this also and they will discount the possibility that it happened. Keep in mind that if you have to hit perfect-perfect to make a hand, it's because you probably had absolutely nothing on the flop. The fact that you would call on the flop with nothing is really what disguises your hand. The other players will put you on several different hands on the flop and try to narrow it own from there, but one hand that they will never put you on is NOTHING. This makes a check-raise attempt more successful than usual.

- - -

With AA in the pocket, after the flop you still have at least a pairof aces to continue playing with. That's not true with AK and that's what makes it easier to lose less money with it. That is why AK is more valuable. The same line of reasoning applies to hands like 54s and 54 off. You can make your flush and lose a lot of money but the hand is easier to throw away if it's not suited.

The Science of Tells

Players in Wheelchairs and Walkers.

They may not be that good but they tend to stay put once at the table. This makes them more patient.

The only reason I gave this book a 5 star was because I couldn't give it ten stars. I notice that usually the novice poker players that buy Doyles Super System as their first poker book also buy this Ken Warren book and I always smile knowing that any chance they will learn something from Texas Dolly will be totally wiped out by Ken Warren, and when we meet across the poker table, I'll just be raking in the monies.

My advice is buy this book now, and follow his advice please. And I want to be at your table.

Good book, but would like to see a longer, advanced book by this author as well.
