Summary: basic to intermediate
Review: decent book for beginners and casual players, but not for the advanced playeer. Wish to author would play me for .25 cents a point... I'd retire to the Bahamas, rather than Florida

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I bought this book, largely based on reviews I had seen on the internet. I was very excited about the "computer studies."I'm sorry to report that there are many elementary errors, and substandard probabilistic thinking, in this book. The author does present some useful information and some impressive looking charts. But when you delve into the actual material, it is flawed. Starting almost on the first page, there are serious mistakes. And there are no computer simulations. No real data to back up (MHO) the author's somewhat dubious advice. I don't know what his (her?) Ph.D. is in, but I doubt it's in mathematics or game theory.
