 Best Hold'em Book On The Market!!! June 14, 2008

With the game growing so rapidly, there is always a need to get that edge on your opponents. Daniel is a master at his craft, teaching the lethal low ball strategy. I play online, home games, and casino. This book caters to all with sections on online, deep stacks, short stacks, high stakes, low stakes, on and on... it has it all. In my mind, this book is better than Super System I and II. A real must have for any serious poker player!!!

I'm a big fan of Daniel's, I've been reading his blog and articles for years now.
I generally enjoy reading what he writes, but this one falls short.
The books is a spin off of Super System, several chapters from 'star' contributors on holdem. I've read several poker strategy books, harrington's books, and several two plus two titles. The content of this book just doesn't compare.
It's written in a very conversational tone, without much math and the detail I've come to expect from other poker titles I've read. This may be a good thing, however, if you prefer less dense poker reading. I want to like it more, but just I don't at this point.

This book is the best book I have read on hold'em and I have read most of them. This book is a great way to improve your cash game skills but an even better way to improve your tournament strategy. The way Daniel Negreanu presents the information and examples is very clear. You learn how to think like a pro and have a better understanding for what they are thinking. Hope this helps.
 Good Stuff In Here July 22, 2008

I've notice a lot of the complaints here are from players who seem to have read every other poker book, and there's nothing wrong with that, but one has to realize the more you read about a particular subject, the more 'recycled material' you are going to come across. Was this book perfect? Absolutely not. Did it have a lot of good information in it? Absolutely. I've read the Super System's, and a few other books, and didn't feel like everything I had read in PHS was just 'reahashed material'. As a matter of fact, I think it fits in well with the Super System's as a 'compliment' or extension.
Hee, what are they doing here? July 25, 2008

I really was interested in Negreanu's writings about small ball and it did not disappoint me. It's written well and it's witty. But wait, why do you have to go throught 200 pages of written material by other writers, whose work does have almost nothing in common than... well, that it's about poker. I did not find their work very inspiring. It all seemed rather some bits of this and that. And what the ... is it that entire pages are used to illustrate one hand vs the other hand, like what hands dominate a certain hand. What a waste of trees.
All in all, the book is worth it's money. But I would have paid it too for 200 pages of Negreanu solo (and than I would have some spare space on my bookshelve too).
