Texas Hold'em Poker Series : Begin To Win!

Rating:
Summary: Excellent introduction for beginning casino poker players.
Review: For someone who has never played casino poker before, this CD is an excellent prepatory guide. Playing in a casino card room can be very intimidating for the first time, and by listening to this CD, a begining player can learn what to expect in less than an hour. As an experienced player, there wasn't very much in terms of new information and strategy for me, but I loaned the CD to a friend of mine who wanted to give casino poker a try, and he was able to walk in knowing what to expect and feeling far more comfortable than he would have otherwise.

While the strategy on the CD isn't as intensive and detailed as a good book on the subject, there's enough to help you get by for your first outing. What is extremely helpful for the novice is all the tips and pointers on the simple logistics of playing in a casino -- from buying chips to making your bets to handling your cards. I sincerely wish I had this CD before stepping into a casino for the first time. I would have definately been a lot more at ease.
