Summary: Great book for low limit games
Review: Lee hits the nail on the head for Northern California low limit Hold'em games, of course that's where he's from. This book is great for a beginner or an experienced player alike. Some $6-$12 games and up are too tight for some of Lee's ideas, but some loose games up to $10-$20 fit his strategies well. As usual, it depends on the players. Most other poker books teach you how to beat higher limit, tigher games. Those strategies don't work as well in the low limit games. Great book!

Summary: the emperor has no clothes
Review: let's keep this simple: read the book, but make your own analysis at the table. underemphasizes the importance of tells, which is what makes the difference between an average good player and an excellent one. plus, it's gonna take a lot to beat the house (rake). the way jones suggests you play, you'll probably play about 5 hands an hour which is about 3-5 dollars an hour to the house depending on where you play. with discipline and a lot of hours at the table, i think it's possible to be a "winning" player. plus toking..ai yai yaips too aggressive before the flop in the games i play thanks to mr. jones 3-8 hours a day (60+ hours) monday through thursday for 3 weeks 4-8 hold-em 20.75/hr great way to spend my vacation! but it ain't over yet (2 weeks to go..wish me luck) 11-13-03 some additional thoughts: if you play EXACTLY the way jones suggests, i'll tear you up.
this is the best book for beginners.
the section in s&m's holdem for advanced players on loose games is gold.
the rake at the boats (midwest) is too high.
if you can play in a good home game, you can be a significant winner.
caro's book of tells is a must read.

Summary: Instant Poker Success
Review: Everyone is into the Texas Hold-em craze. Yet, as a novice to play the game, you can't rely upon watching ESPN or Fox Sports to truly understand how to play. That's why books like this are written. "Winning Low-Limit" gives the beginning player a perspective and strategy for each aspect of playing in a Texas Hold-em game. Things that you never see on TV, such as how to play in various positions, and what hands to throw away, and when to those those hands away are among the many topics covered in detail in this book. I was able to use this strategy after one read, and win our in-house tournament. I would recommend that you read this book several times, and play several games to really let the concepts sync in. There is a lot of information in here, and to be a great player, you have to learn it all.

Summary: Outstanding Beginner/Intermediate Book
Review: Lee Jones does an excellent job of explaining rock solid Low Limit play. Simply a must-read for beginners. Since reading this book, I am a consistent winner at 2-4 (Atlantic City Casinos). It's amazing how much information Jones packed into such a small book. What is even more amazing is how profitable $2-4 games can be. Most poker books pose that good Hold'em players should make 1 big bet per hour. I average 4-6 times that at low limit, much of it attributed to Jones' book. As a companion to this book I would strongly recommend Gary Carson's book on Hold'em. Carson elaborates on Jones's foundation, and is a great book for taking your game to the next level

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This book won't make you a winner in $10-$20 games, but has good solid advice for most games below that. The amazing thing about this book is that loose low-limit players will play the same way (ie, lots of reckless raises and/or dumb calls) against an opponent using the strategems outlined in the book AGAIN AND AGAIN. If you study the material carefully (especially the starting hand requirements), this book alone is enough to make you a consistent winner.
Raising, bluffing, free cards, and the like are described better elsewhere; however, for the novice or occasional gambler this book is a must read. You'll save the price immediately in what you don't lose at the poker tables. Although the book is primarily aimed at those playing low-limit poker in card clubs (especially in California), I have found it to help my play in private games and on the Internet as well.

Summary: This book will lose you money
Review: I am going to go against the grain and say that, as a novice poker player, you will lose money if you follow the advice in this book. The main reason why I say this is that after reading the book, the reader's grasp of correct pre-flop play will be tenuous at best. Firstly, Jones talks about early, middle and late positions without ever defining the terms. There are no guidelines at all for when early becomes middle or when middle becomes late.
Secondly and more importantly, starting hand guidelines are given without any regard for how many players are at the table. For example, in late positions Jones recommends calling 75 suited with "Four or fewer callers in front". Therefore, according to the guidelines there is no difference whether you have zero players in front or whether you have four players in front. This is an egregious error on Jones' part. The idea of playing a hand like 75s is, you want to see the flop cheaply, with many people in the pot and you hope to flop an absolute monster and rake a large pot. If there are no callers in front, there's very little point calling a bet to be contesting a small pot with few people in the hand. This is only one of a number of errors that I only discovered through the painful process of losing session after session.
There are also flaws in his advice on post flop play. For example, he says "if you never folded after flopping a set, you probably wouldn't be making much of a mistake". Again this is incorrect. If the flop shows two hearts, the turn brings another heart and you are check raised when you bet your trips (three of a kind) you can be pretty sure that the check raiser is holding a flush. In this situation, folding is usually the correct thing to do.
Although 80% of the advice in the book is highly accurate, the other 20% will open up huge holes in your game that will make it almost impossible to become a winning player.

Summary: Classic definitive guide to winning low limit!
Review: Winning Low-Limit Hold'em was the definitive low-limit guide prior to Small Stakes Holdem. Some experts believe Jones starting hand recommendations are too tight and while it will get you profitable, there are lots of opportunity to profit with non-premium hands in the right game conditions (e.g. loose, passive games where you can limp with a speculative hand and see the flop & turn cheaply, with lots of callers going to showdown).
