No-Limit Texas Hold’em: The New Players Guide to Winning Poker’s Biggest Game
This book was extremely basic, buy the Championship Series version. I consider myself a mid-level to advanced limit player just starting to explore the world of No Limit and I already knew most of the stuff this book contained. It was really a waste of time.

This Book was cool. It provided important and useful concepts about the game of Poker. I learned some new strategies, 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

Worst poker book I’ve read! If you’ve played any type of poker at all this book will be useless. It’s strictly for beginners with absolutely no experience. 99% about tournament games, only 1 small chapter on table/ring games…. Teaches NOTHING about calculating even basic odds or counting “outs”, instead it suggests dealing out decks of cards & counting the results to see how they would turn out. This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard & much more time consuming than learning a few very basic math skills.

In my opinion, the authors and those who wrote the advertisements I saw for this book have advertised falsely. The authors and advertisers say the book is for learning no-limit cash-game and tournament strategies and techniques. There is virtually no information on cash-game techniques and strategies, however, and no information on how to adapt the given tournament strategies to cash-games. Therefore the book only does half or less of what it is supposed to do.

If you are anywhere beyond beginner, this book will be of very little use to you. I am by no means an expert, but I found most of the information contained in the book to be very basic.
I also think some of the advice is terrible. Example (p. 182): it’s fairly early in the tournament and you have plenty of chips; you call a small raise from a very loose and aggressive player preflop with AKs; flop brings 66Q, two of your suit and the aggressive player bets roughly the size of the pot. The book’s advice in this spot? “With the nut flush draw and two over cards you have a very big hand.” Go all in! Or, as an alternative “smooth call” to try to keep another player in the pot.
I have nowhere near the qualifications of the authors, but I can not fathom why anyone would want to put a ton of chips at risk at this point in a tourney with a hand that is, at best, a little behind and, at worst, completely dominated.
I know there aren’t a lot of no limit books out there, but there must be some better than this.
