Ken Warren continues his straightforward lessons for the average hold’em player by concentrating on the strategies and plays needed to win money in today’s games. In addition to a dozen thorough chapters on basic plays, Warren selects the most appropriate questions from the thousand he receives to address the topics players need answered to improve their game. He shows how to pull and push bets, make more money on the flop, use position as a hammer, play against the flow, adjust to opponents’ playing styles, when to lay down good hands or call on the river, and the smart percentage plays, especially against new players. Special sections on no-limit hold’em tournaments and Internet poker give readers a complete approach. Includes tons of charts, real hand examples, illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars creme de la creme (cream of the crop)
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2012

I am an aspiring player. That is, I am not as good as I want to be-- by a long shot. "Maybe. . .someday it will come true."

However, in my training of myself, I have so far read over one hundred fifty books on my quest to learn how to learn texas hold em.

This book ranks up there with the quality I have only encountered in a very few places.

It takes the reader where he/she wants to go without all the chest thumping bravado so many authors display when they write a book.

And, Ken does not adopt a protoge to do his writing in the fashion which seems to be popular with so many illiterates who are excellent texas hold em players.

I say, he applies subsitizing, and suggestology and; as well suggestopedy, without ever writing in such cognizant terms. This man is "meta cognative", and that is intended as a compliment.

I say, "Well done! Ken"

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for anyone serious about making money playing Texas hold'em
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2011

One step up from his first book, Ken Warren has kept to his very readable style of writing.
I ne'er used to take any form of poker seriously as I thought it involves far too much chance and not enough predictability. Ken Warren's book showed me that while there is still an element of luck to learning to playing, a lot of winning poker hands is your ability to make the correct decision, read your opponents actions, timing, and words as well as the odds and probabilities of getting future cards from the deck. The fact is that you aren't really playing a game of cards, but you're playing a game of people using cards. Ken Warren's book shows you how to give yourself more chance of making money, rather than being the dummy who walks away broke from the table. I will buy everything he publishes about Texas hold'em. I suggest you do too. See you at the casinos. Oh, and, thanks Ken

I loved this book it gave me so many things that I was doing wrong. It shows how to approach from a beginning position and become a better player. Ken Warren, has the best book and I have read a few.It has improve my game 10 fold. After reading his book a few weeks ago I went to Harrah s Casino to play a tournament, they had semi pro players young and aggressive, but following His Groups 1 2 3 4 I came to sit at the final table. I lost but, I would not have been there if it was not for him. I would love to speak with him and thank him for a great book,

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fundamentals for Limit Holdem
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2005
After playing "play money" and freerolls for about 6 months I took the plunge and bought this book. The book has a "read this chapter then do exercises" structure. Its for Limit only. For No-Limit try Super System or other texts. If you follow the advice then the book will enable you to TEACH yourself holdem and develop a good solid foundation. The key is DISCIPLINE and with a little practice you can become that "tight aggresive" player that can win many big bets per hour from most microlimit players. In order to benefit from most poker books you should read them, apply what they say and reread and fully understand the ideas. You cannot just read a book once and know it, rather youve got to play and experiences the situations in real life to appreciate and remember them. Ken Warrens system should teach you this but you also need to be able to adjust your play to suit the game you are in. This is necessary so that you dont become predictable.

What Im saying is that if you teach yourself Ken Warren style (which starts off tight) then adjust according to the game you are playing then you should show consistent results over time.

Overall great book. Definitely worth the money. Sweet.

Good/Memorable parts of the book

- "reasons to raise" section

- odds and outs section (standard stuff you just gotta know)

- exercise that tells you to create a playing log

- "how to play aces" section

- overall info on reading hands (of course, its hard to read hand of a microlimit FISH but the principles of reading your oppontent is critical so dont worry if you get a bad read, learn from it and move on)

Things that could be better or added to complete this book

playing microlimit (since most people start out at lowest stakes possible)

- playing online

- limit tourney play

If anyone can recommend any good texts or sites that discuss the areas above (ie playing micro online and limit tourney play) please post a review.....thanks

5.0 out of 5 stars Good starting point
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2003
If you haven't read any books on Poker or attended any courses and are interested in learning about Texas Hold'em, then this is a good book to start with. I really liked how he included the tables of odds to drive home why you should play certain hands and not others. In addition I had never thought of pot odds and why you should play some hands only when the pot odds dictated. Although it is all common sense, if you've never thought about it, it is eye opening. Even his break down on what you hope to accomplish by betting is a good read. So if you're just getting into Texas Hold'em and aren't a poker wiz, then you'll find lots of well organized, and thought out material to improve your game and change your thinking.
After this book, some of the others may make more sense.
