Summary: Great beginners guide for online play!
Review: Although the author is a well known, don't expect an advanced treatise on onlie play. What this is, however, is a good nuts & bolts guide for online play. Great for beginners and intermediate players who have want to transition from live to online play. Also servers as a good beginner's guide to limit Texas holdem. This is the most popular game being played online, at casinos, and in local card rooms. Learn this game and you can make a living anywhere in the world, online or live!

Summary: An incredibly good book
Review: As a beginner I was reluctant to invest my hard-earned money at an online poker site until I read this book. Everything was made simple, all was demystified, and with a little practice under my belt I'm now completely comfortable playing online.I was also impressed with the CD that comes with the book. There are 125 poker hands from the Wilson "Turbo" series that you can play interactively on your computer, while reading how the authors would play those hands. In addition, the CD includes downloads to some of the bigger, and more well-established online poker sites. The book is very well written, clear, concise, and easy to read and understand. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in playing poker online. Now, if I can only duplicate Chris Moneymaker's feat by winning a $40 Internet tournament and parlaying it into winning the World Series of Poker, that would be icing on the cake.

Summary: Free CD alone is worth the price!
Review: I couldn't believe the book had a CD with over 100 playing hands on it. This was worth the price of the book alone. I didn't know it had the CD until I opened the book to look through it. Although the book says it has a poker CD in it, it is mentioned (on the cover) in very small print. They should have made "free poker CD" more prominent somehow because it makes this book far different than any other of its type. The book itself has everything the reader wants to know about poker as well as playing the game on the internet. "What happens if you are disconnected?" It's covered in this book along with most everything else the beginner, or the skilled player, would want answered. On those upcoming cold winter nights it will prove to be a great deal of fun and enjoyment. Players at every level will benefit from this reading (along with the free CD!)

Summary: disappointment
Review: I read this book after playing online poker for 2 weeks, and was disappointed. The best way to learn is get on and play with money you don't mind losing. This book would be for somebody that is uncomfortable doing even that. And if you're uncomfortable testing the waters with a small amount of real money, maybe you shouldn't be playing poker. Bottom line is you can learn more in an evening of real online action than you can from this book. A footnote, the index is completely off, if you're looking for specific data, it sends you to the wrong pages. Weird. Read some of the classics by Sklansky instead.

Summary: For Beginners only
Review: I was expecting a more advanced book based on it was written by "Lou Krieger" a well know Card player Magazine columnist. But this book was just written to capitalize on his name the growing popularity of online gambling. Only buy this book if you are new to both poker and online poker. There is a lot of fluff in this book and in the fast evolving arena on online poker most advice will be outdated in 6 months.

Summary: What is this game called poker?
Review: I was greatly disappointed by this book, although I'm not an experienced player myself. If you've never played poker, and aren't quite sure what the internet is, this book might be a suitable start. However, for most people reading it is just a waste of time. The author spends as much time at telling you what's best of a flush and a straight, as what hands you should play; the lack of important information is the most striking feature of the book.

Summary: Great for Beginners, but thats all
Review: I was slightly disappointed with this book. I have been playing online for a month or so and have learned 96% of the information in this book myself. If you are a new poker fan (a la Travel Channel Wednesday nights) looking to play online, then this is a good read. If you are familiar with the internet and have a basic understanding of poker this book will not help you much. I would suggest taking the money and just playing some games online.
