5.0 out of 5 stars
Not for the serious player, but pretty good for most of us!
This is a great book for recreational players who are more interested in comraderie and smoking cigars than winning money. It provides good advice for hosting and setting up games and it provides a lot of good games and variations to help spice up the weekly game. I've always had problems coming up with new games and learned a lot from this book. This is also a good...

Buy this book (for your poker buddies)
This book has a wealth of information on low stakes poker variations, but little on how to win. The rules are a little subjective for "according to Hoyle", especially if you've been playing a while. If you need something to spice up your low stakes game or are constantly being confused about the variations your partners are springing on you, this book is...

Very Enjoyable Book�Now Get To Playin!!!, July 7 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rules of Neighborhood Poker According to Hoyle (Paperback)
This was a very Enjoyable Book. It provided important and useful concepts about the game of Poker. I learned new concepts, which identified some leaks in my game. Leaks in your game can come from anywhere!!! Leaks can originate from lack of aggression, overcalling raises, misreading opponents and any other number of ways. So this book helps. Many people look at poker the wrong way. They think to win they need to do all of this super fancy plays and mindblowing stunts. Well folks...there are not that many options in poker...you fold, call or raise. So its really hard to do thinks that will just fool your opponents all the time. To win at poker it is mostly limiting your mistakes and getting all that you can from winning hands and minimizing losses on losing hands...that's it Ive been playing for about 5 years now and love the game. Ive read many poker books and found this one to be very good. So I would suggest you buy this book and maybe a couple others and get to playing. There's really no excuse anymore - since anyone can access the internet.

Very disappointing - a reference for "garbage" poker., Aug 30 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rules of Neighborhood Poker According to Hoyle (Paperback)
If you get bored with straight stud poker or feel like Hold 'Em is too much action this is a book for you. It's kind of like canned music for those "fans" that get bored at the ballpark by simply watching the baseball game - they have to add something to main event which never seems to be enough. However, if you and/or your friends are addicted to these endless variations of poker and want to know the rules (since this is what you'll spend most of your time doing - going over the rules), this is an excellent review of every wild game you can think of. Perhaps this should be re-titled as "The rules to garbage poker according to Wolpen."
