Rating: Summary: THE poker book Review: I've read them all, and this is it. THE poker book...wont be any waste of money And Amazon is great ! The book arrived 7 days early !
Rating: Summary: A great intro to winning poker. Review: Mike Caro clearly goes over winning tactics for poker in general as well as specific games. The information in this book would not serve an expert well at all, but for a beginner I would recommend it.

Rating: Summary: Essential Review: One of the best collections on poker theory. It is comprehensive and complete. You reading? You buying? Your poker will improve.
Rating: Summary: I bet you better read it Review: Poker is serious. I would not go to the table without reading and re-reading Mike Caro. He is not as crazy as he would have you believe. Crazy like a fox. In Texas, poker is sacred.
Rating: Summary: Not useful Review: This book reads more like a seminar summary than a real book, which isn't surprising, because that's what it is. What was surprising, to me (given the excellent reviews on this site) was the almost total lack of concrete, useful, practical information of the sort found in Ruben's "Win At Poker" (a much better--and cheaper--book). Caro tells you that when faced with a marginal decision, you need to incorporate more information--but he doesn't tell you what a marginal decision might be, and what sort of extra information you should look for. Maybe there are people this book will be useful for, but I wasn't one of them. If you don't already know how to calculate pot odds, what the odds against improving are for each given hand, how to calculate when you call or raise, then I'd strongly recommend that you get the Rubens book instead. Maybe I'll come back to this book later and get something out of it, but as a player who knew the rules and little of strategy, I found it almost useless.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Refresher For Any Poker Player Review: This is not one of those how-to books for beginning players. It is, however, a good grouping of tips and other things you might have already known - just put in a different light. It includes all the information from Caro's seminar videos, plus all the stuff they cut out to make them 90 minutes long. If you liked the videos, you love the book.
Rating: Summary: A steal at this price Review: Well worth the money. If you're new to poker, but wish to improve this is a good start. If you're seasoned you should have got it long ago. Will return your investment.... On second thought maybe I'd rather you didn't buy it. Forget what I said.
Rating: Summary: odd Review: What's here is good, but there isn't very much material, and it's not at all comprehensively presented.
