So bad.
Absolute drivel. Phil Hellmuth is one of the top tournament players of all time. He is also one of the worst poker teachers and writers of all time.

The book covers several kinds of poker, but I’ve only read the sections on Limit and NoLimit Hold’Em, as well as the parts that discuss general poker strategy.

Easy to read, and offers some very good advice. Being a multiple WSOP bracelet holder, you wouldn’t expect anything less.

Mixed feelings about this book
On the one hand, you can’t argue with Phil’s record as a poker player. And he does talk through a lot of interesting concepts quite clearly.
