 Just the basics January 14, 2008

Gives the basics without all the technical jargon. Great for getting
started before moving to all the statistics and odds.
 Very Basic Book for Beginners September 9, 2005

If you're just thinking about about playing online, this book will do just fine. But it will not teach you anything you can't figure out on your own. There's not much strategy or anything valuable here. Just an elementary introduction to online games.

First of all, I have not read this book. But I wanted to make an analysis based on the reviews I have read here.
The majority of people who use the internet and especially the number of people who write reviews are 20-30 years of age.
I would imagine, considering Brunson's age, that this book may have been geared towards people much older, that would love to play poker but barely have discovered the internet.
That said, if that was the intent, it should be made clear in the book who the intended audience is. If it said it would be good for all levels of users then I would agree it is a ripoff. If it said it was for beginners to online poker, then I would think that teaching someone how to install software might not be a bad thing, considering many of my older relatives fear of using a computer.
Well, I don't think its target audience has been buying and reviewing it May 15, 2006

This book seems to have been a disappointment to many who read it, though it is mostly because these people were not the intended readers.
This book is really written for people just getting started or thinking about getting started with online poker, or poker in general. It has several chapters that cover the very basics of online poker, including something as seemingly simple as how to download and install the software. If you already play poker online, this book will not improve your game much. It is, unfortunately for many of us, really designed for BEGINNERS. I would have found its information much more useful if I'd read it within the first month I started playing. After playing for over a year, much of its information was already commonplace to me. Picking up this book at any experience level will probably improve your game SOME, just not nearly as much as some other books out there.
While Doyle Brunson is an authority on poker, his expertise just doesn't really come through in this style of book. Again, this is a decent book for those just getting started. However, if you are already an OK player or have been playing for a few months, you will probably want to skip about half of the chapters. There are some decent tips and strategies revealed, but just not enough to warrant a reading of the entire book by any kind of intermediate player.
 Blatant Ad for Doyle's Room May 18, 2006
Lem (Gurnee, Illinois USA)
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
This book reads more like an advertisement and FAQ for Doyle's online poker room. There is very little of value here for the money. Do yourself a favor and buy "Super System" or another title that has worthwhile advice.
