Get the Edge at Low-Limit Texas Hold'em: From the Kitchen to the Cardroom!

I am only 25% of the way through this book and my game on the internet has improved greatly. I am no longer going to the cashier for chips. The book is well written, easy to understand, provides hands on examples and personal experience on much of the authors strategy and playing technique. Even if you do not intend to play for money, this book will make the game of Texas Hold-em more enjoyable as you will understand the dynamics of the game...

This is a great poker book. I did have to return it since it was a duplicate of a book my husband already had but it is a good book to learn about Texas Hold'em.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is a beginner and would like to learn how to play texas hold em. The author does a good job of explaining all the basic principles of the game and by utilizing this information, anyone can walk into a cardroom and play profitable poker. This book is not for advanced players.

I am just now picking up Texas Hold em even though I played for several years using my own intuitions and lost a bundle. This book has made the game much easier to play for me because now I have excellent guiding principles. Burton's style of writing is to the point and he sprinkles a lot of personal anecdotes in the book that really help us to get a feel for the game.
