 Almost too good to be true... Apr 10, 2009
By Kirsten D. Wyman
"fishman76092"
This book offers some amazing information that I've not found in any other poker book. The theory sections really challenged me to think about my game, something other books failed to do. The cheating sections are amazing. These chapters deal with types of cheating in poker that I didn't realize existed. Oh, about the strategy discussed ... I've all ready won more than 100 times what the book cost. Great investment.

The best poker book you're likely to read... Mar 17, 2009
By Robert G. Barcus
"JeepJeff"
This book was eye-opening to say the least. To begin with, it's unconventional and deals with many aspects of poker (online and B&M), with several chapters devoted solely to cheating. The book offers many different approaches and theories that are very easy to understand and implement. I learned quite a lot about the things that were missing from my game, mainly, betting properly. And there's quite a lot of information about the best opening hands. The biggest change I've made is that I no longer play no limit holdem. Several well-detailed, easy to comprehend chapters deal with split games. The 'lessons' were easy to apply and (though it may seem crazy), I now play split games using the information presented in this book. It's like a different world opened up when I switched games and followed the advice. My edges were far larger, and I now understand that certain games can be played so much worse than no limit holdem where so many situations are coin flips. The tournament information and instruction is very solid and opened my eyes to (many) mistakes I've been making. This may be the best poker book you've ever read. It's certainly the best I've ever read.

One of my favorite poker books of all time. Oct 08, 2009
By Diego R. Melendez
One day after buying this book, I took 8th place in a No Limit
event at the "2008 2nd Annual Binion's Poker Classic" in Las Vegas.
This was going on at the same time as the World Series, so there were tough players from all over the world playing. Buy it. It's great.
 Mostly Run-of-the-Mill Advice Culled From Several Sources Aug 06, 2008
By Bryan Geruntho
Russ Georgiev's claim to fame (in his own mind) is being a legendary hustler in poker, pool, bowling, gin, you name it. Basically, this book takes points from nearly every other legendary poker book and makes them out to be Georgiev's own. It's akin to taking chapters from Jack Nicklaus' "Gof My Way", Tom Watson's instructional book and Gerg Norman's...re-writing them to blend into "your own" philosophy. Doyle Brunson, et al, would probably chuckle at the blatant obviousness of Georgiev's plagarism. Russ is a small potatos gambler with some interesting stories to liven up and otherwise ultra-ordinary instructional text. If you're interested in really getting better, buy some help from a geniune poker star, not a made-up one.
