⭐ PRESENT FOR HUBBY. HE SAID HE DID LEARN SOMETHING HE NEEDED TO.

⭐ I’ve played in home games for over 20 years and just a little bit in casinos (I don’t really like the idea of paying a rake, tipping a dealer and tipping a cocktail waitress – I also prefer to eat my buddies’ free food). But lately I’m toying around with playing online (I STILL don’t like that rake idea) and was looking for a book that would essentially tell me everything about online poker without giving me some ridiculous Poker 101 lesson. Man did I ever get that in spades. Harlan and Derossi are clearly hardcore poker guys who’re also computer geeks.Their checklist on what to do on disconnection is great and they spend a long time drilling on idiosyncrasies of the online world . Their sections on strategy for single table tournaments, head’s-up techniques and short handed play are excellent.The only thing I completely disagree with them on is they seem to have a real beef with freeroll tournaments (they essentially think they’re a waste of time), but everything else they talk about I’m cool with.I just happened to be in the bookstore as they were putting this book out for the first time and bought it on a whim along with the Hilger book that I’d already picked up. I was sorta skeptical and more than a little ashamed that it said “Dummies” (is that REALLY a good marketing strategy for a book?); but after looking ’em both over I have to say that even though this one is half the price, it’s about four times as valuable as the other.The great thing is they didn’t try to re-teach me poker theory. Their philosophy is all the poker stuff you know from RL (real life) applies here, but there are lots of wrinkles to be aware of: A player with Internet playing savvy will beat the exact same player that doesn’t have it.They refer a lot to “Poker for Dummies,” a book I’ve never read. What I have read is all of Sklansky’s Hold ‘Em books, and this one seems to fit right along with them just fine.I didn’t consider myself a “dummy” even before I bought this, but I’m even less of one now.

⭐ I bought this book for info on internet playing, helped a lot, but when i started taking notes from the book to help me play Sit N Go games, my poker changed. Still not winning as consistently as i want but I now feel like a poker player. I know its helped, cause I’m starting to get nasty comments when I beat some know it all or I’m having the big guns at my level working hard to keep me out of the money. Thanks for the help.

⭐ this book is ok and it covers the basics and even into some advanced stuff and I would reconmment it for anyone wanting to read a little about poker before they actually played the game. it give you some good advice on how to play and what to look for in a online game room or brick and morter room. so yes I think it worth buying.

⭐ All tech information is out of date.

⭐ Fast shipping. Item as described.

⭐ Winning at Internet Poker for Dummies is a must read primer for those who are new to the game of poker. Easy to read and understand, especially for those who really have no knowledge of the game.

⭐ Good referance book

⭐ i thought there was alot of good information and i got my books very quickly. i will use this service again

⭐ Haven’t done anything with book yet. Spend most of my time watching others play on TV. Waiting for free time to commit.
