HELMUTH IS A JOKE! AND NOT A VERY FUNNY ONE AT THAT!

Not a Bad Beginner's Book. The Author's a Wind Bag.
Phil Helmuth is as annoying in his writing as he is around a poker table. The book is part infomercial for various preferred casinos and web sites, part instructional manual for novice to intermediate players, but mostly a vehicle for Phil's ego. Hardly a page goes by without Phil reminding us what a great poker player he is. A psychologist could have a field day w/ his overinflated ego. As far as the content on poker play goes, it's better than most books for novices on the subject.
