The Illustrated Guide to No Limit Texas Hold'em: A cool format for learning strategy in Texas Hold'em. The Illustrated Guide to No Limit Texas Hold'em is formatted to offer a series of hands (150) in real-game playing situations, then giving the reader an opportunity to make a decision. This is followed by the suthor's best strategy with the hand in the defined circumstances and why. The first example is the top hold'em hand, a pair of Aces, and the second offering is the worst hand, the hammer (7,2o). I respect the author paying homage to the hammer; but, I disagree with the presented reasoning and recommended action for this particular hand.



Most of example starting hands and their analysis are completely agreeable and just like in a real game a few are certainly debatable. A varity of situations are examined from the often confusing tricky hands like pocket Jacks to big slick, Ace/King, all in differing circumstances. The simple format allows the reader to quickly understand the presentation and one can go through the examples in rapid fashion without having to read the paragraph of description; but, the first time through it's advisable to read everything since some of the theoretical players may have been categorized.

A reader will pick up quite a few key skills to winning at poker after a couple of reads through the book, especially with regard to pot odds,tricky hands, the importance of position, all of the basic strategies for playing winning hold'em.

Someone whom has never played or hasn't been active for years and has not read many how-to poker books will find the Illustrated Guide to No Limit Texas Hold'em a good read, especally if you already have the some of the classic how-to poker books by Cloutier or Sklansky.

The Illustrated Guide to Texas Hold'em by Dennis Purdy is another poker book you should consider adding to your playing library. One feature of the book's layout I found particularly valuable is using the illustrations like flash cards. Thumbing throught the text prior to a play session is a great way to prepare your game winning mind-set. If one of the examples results in a marginal hand becoming a winner or perhaps you muck a loser then the nominal cost of the book is repaid, even in a low-limit game setting. I rate the Illustrated Guide to Texas Hold'em as a good how-to poker book and a welcome addition to your game library.

Über World Series of Poker (WSOP):
