Purchase options and add-ons

This book is perfect for either the home game player moving up, or the intermediate player who’s struggling: it’s packed with the stuff beginning poker books don’t talk about enough (or at all), and that advanced books discuss only in terms of the higher limits -- reading hands and opponents, calculating odds and outs, adjusting to game type, and more. Also covers practicing and playing online. As Roy West says in his introduction, "This is a ‘thinking about poker’‚ book you’ll hope your opponents won’t read." Whether your game is hold’em or stud this is the book to set you on a winning track.

Aside from a brief spell early in my 20s making and delivering pizza, I've always worked as a writer. For many years this was in newspapers, where I juggled suburban meeting coverage, investigative journalism, and front-page features. I've also been a contract technical writer and a magazine editor. For the past four years I've been doing non-fiction book doctoring, helping authors from proposal to finished manuscript.

Big Disappointment

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2005

Verified Purchase

I bought this book because it had four ratings of 5 stars. This is the first review I have ever written, and I'm doing so to warn others that this book is TERRIBLE. It is poorly organized and has very little meaningful information of any type. The author repeatedly trashes almost all other poker books, calling them "garbage". I've read ten poker books now, and only one of them is truly BAD. Guess which one.

An Entertaining Accessory.

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2005

Verified Purchase

I noticed that this offering got savaged by a reviewer below. Let me address that criticism right away, Stepping Up is a worthy read but it is in no way a complete poker book. By itself, it cannot teach you the game. It's an accoutrement for intermediate rounders. Of course, the author admits this truth in the very beginning. He also recommends reading Small Stakes Hold Em and Theory of Poker before buying his contribution to the poker world. The thing I found most valuable about it is that Burgess is a regular guy who played the small limits before rising to the high stakes levels. He did this via effort and study, and he really does provide some inside-"been there, done that"-type of advice. You also learn quite a bit about the lower limits in a brick and mortar setting as so many of us play online exclusively. His references to stud were educational as well. I definitely got something out of Stepping Up, and I think that you will too if you view it with the right perspective. If you haven't studied the big important manuals already, pick them up first.

Real Poker Advice

Great beginner to intermediate guide for online play!

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2004

This book takes a different approach then your typical beginner to intermediate level guide that teaches you how to play (memorizing starting hand requirements, basic and intermediate strategies like raising for a free card, raising for value, isolating loose raisers, blind stealing, etc.). What this book does do is focus on the factors that you need to master, especially for online play where you are isolated from other players physically. The psychological aspects... the game within-the-game, etc. are factors that are magnified for online play. You are your own worst enemy (and since the same applies to your opponents), understanding theae nuances are key to a successful transition from live to online play. Good read and recommended.

Stinky

awesome - changed my game around

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2004

i hadn't heard of this guy before so was a little skeptical. he's not exaclty a famous author. but it has made a 100 percent difference in how i apporach my favorite game, hold'em.
differences between this and other poker books: first, the writing is ten times as good so everything is extremely clear, second, you learn not just what to do but why. the chapters on reading hands and players are sensational and i say this eveno though i own 4 or 5 hold'em books alone. also the odds chapters are very clear. the only reason i don't give it five stars is you
do need other poker books besides this one, for hold'em maybe the lee jones or kreiger books. like roy west says in the intro this is a thinking man's poker book to improve your overall game.
i would say try it out and see what you think but if you are like me, a low-limit player trying to get good and move up, it's well worth it. it's better than pokertracker for helping, and that's saying a lot!
