This book is useless. There are better books available.
I have read better books regarding the probabilities pertinent to poker. I was searching for these better books when I came across this weak book. This terrible book has no merit. It is not entertaining. It is not useful for making decisions in the game of poker. The author merely wants to have a book on the market. I advise you to look elsewhere for a book about the probabilities pertinent to winning at poker.

Math math and more math
And that's exactly what I was looking for. If you are looking for the down and dirty numbers behind poker, and I am not talking about tables of numbers to memorize but the actual formulas that those tables are derived from, this is the book for you. Reading this book makes my head hurt, and probably should be done sitting at a desk with a pen and paper. Not only do you want to take notes, you will also want to be sure you can work through what Yao is explaining.

It is a wonderful read if that is what you are looking for.

my only poker book
re-read this all the time. addresses only 'limit' games and i only play 'on-limit' and free-rolls. think it provides a good 'basic TIGHT strategy'. he addresses bluffing but it didn't 'stick'. like the charts alot! guess i'm old-school but did find the use of 'she, her' a little annoying. still don't understand 'raising for a free card'. lol

all the best,
RR

Good
This is a great book if yuor are into the mathematical aspects of hold'em. ALthough there are some good cencepts for those are less concerned it's main focus is on math. This book also explains outs and non-outs and how to calculate pot odds based on these as well as based on what your opponents cards are (if you are able to read hands well enough).
