 Not exactly 101 but ... July 1, 2010
D'Artagnan
A good book for players below expert level even if they know part of the so-called 101 winning moves.
Some interesting tips behind the lines and a good reminder of important situations.
The book deals with hands and not with strategy ( even if there are some clues when short-stacked ).
It is quite noticeable that the author sometimes recommends folding ( yes that happens ! ) even it is not a winning move

I bought this book because of the glowing reports.
What a con. Obviously written by the authors friends.
Waste of money. Inane, disjointed ramblings.
Spend your $ on harrington, Negreanu or Hanson.
this book is pure detritus!

Im not one to write reviews, but I felt compelled to for this book which I consider a waste of money. I had read the reviews and thought this was a must have, but most of the tips here are pretty basic and not explained with any great detail.
If you want a real tournament guide, read Harrington

i bought the book because of the glowing reviews ... but if you read the other guy who gave it 3 stars, his review is pretty accurate ... as a poker player myself who's played in numerous tournaments as well as cash games, the tips in this book are, hrmm ... let's put it this way ... if a new player is level 0, and a novice is level 1, the tips in this book are level 2 mostly ... this book doesn't help much for a player who is already reasonably solid/good ... anyone who plays level 3 or better will simply recognize many of these moves and counter them ...
to be fair, i totally agree with his overall thesis that you should take risk ... calculated risks, that is ... and a large number of the moves are solid/reasonable tips ... but there were a bunch that i thought were plain bad and erroneous ... here's just a few:
the author keeps suggesting making small probe or blocking bets ... whenever i see someone make these small bets, especially if they are repeat offenders, i mark them as weak players and i raise them, if nothing else, on principle ... i'm thinking, you keep making these bad/stupid bets, you're going to get punished ...
he had a few tips using the Bare Naked Ace bluff ... basically, you represent the nut flush, w/o having a flush, when you hold the As on a 3 spade board ... the author says that the opp will fold because the opp cannot be holding the nuts, so he will fold to a shove ... WRONG ... unless it's a big tournament that is deep stacked, players will call down often with any reasonable flush, ten or higher ... this move may work but it has to executed perfect ... meaning deep stacks, good opp who is capable of folding, your own image, etc.; in pot-limit omaha, this tip is absolutely valid and works, but in no-limit hold'em, it's a weak suggestion that can easily be overused to bust you out of a tournament ...
tip 99 makes no sense: "When your opp raises in the small blind, don't re-raise ... If you miss the flop, you are out of position ..."
- how can u ever be out of position against the small blind?
there are others but i don't feel like scouring back through the book to find them ...
bottom line: i recommend the book for novice/intermediate players ... but for advanced players, it probably won't help much ...

Good book with many tips to add to your poker arsenal. Some of the examples are a little too perfect, but they get the point across. It was easy to read, and I feel I improved my game by implementing just a few of the strategies. I wouldn't recommend this to a beginner, because some poker knowledge is needed. Its no super-system or HoH, but definitely better than half the junk that's out there.
