Review: Author Lou Kreiger has a big time hit with his book More Hold'Em Excellence. this volume takes you from being a occasional winner to being "A Winner For Life" just as the sub title suggests. In 184 fun to read yet highly informative pages Mr. Kreiger lays out a step by step map to making the most out of your poker outings. Set forth in 36 chapters card playing champion and all aroung good guy Lou Kreaiger takes the student from setting a rock solid foundation through the perils of pre-flop play past the maniac and the rock like players and into the line at the cashiers cage. All the while delivering to you his 10 keys to success. I found the chapters on playing your best always and, fighting your emotions highly rewarding and suprizingly insightful. a 63 question apptitude test is a poker like SAT for the aspiring pro level player. It is high time this well kept poker secret be brought into the lime light that it so richly deserves.

Summary: Too drawn out and repetitive
Review: Krieger's first book "Hold'em Excellence" is a much better buy. This follow up seems to primarily rephrase previous thinkings from its former. The latter half of "More Hold'em Excellence" seems to just add length and does not offer too many more insightful tips. In fact, you could probably just read pages 32 to 72 in a book store and have absorbed 90% of the useful information. There is a 12 page section on statistics and probabilities - how to compute/apply them - that's fairly interesting and valuable. Overall, average players should just stick to "Hold'em Excellence" and not look to expand their knowledge too much with this book.

Summary: Solid Advice
Review: This book gives solid advice but less theory unlike sklansky's range of books. Krieger tends to write in the opposite fashion and I noticed his books have a more practical sense of information meaning quick results and more money.

Summary: Sage Advice from a Long-Time Player
Review: This book is not for the beginner. Any beginning hold'em book will do for beginning players. This book contains nothing but good advice in the card room. I've only played in card rooms a few times, but I've won consistently. Kreiger's books contains essays on how to deal with maniacs, table image, table selection -- the sorts of things a non-beginner will find valuable. If you already know the game and know how to play tight and aggressive, this book is for you. It contains lots of anecdotal advice on how to deal with the situations that inevitably come up in card rooms.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This was a very Enjoyable Book. It provided important and useful concepts about the game of Poker. I learned new concepts, which identified some leaks in my game. Leaks in your game can come from anywhere!!! Leaks can originate from lack of aggression, overcalling raises, misreading opponents and any other number of ways. So this book helps. Many people look at poker the wrong way. They think to win they need to do all of this super fancy plays and mindblowing stunts. Well folks...there are not that many options in poker...you fold, call or raise. So its really hard to do thinks that will just fool your opponents all the time. To win at poker it is mostly limiting your mistakes and getting all that you can from winning hands and minimizing losses on losing hands...that's it Ive been playing for about 5 years now and love the game. Ive read many poker books and found this one to be very good. So I would suggest you buy this book and maybe a couple others and get to playing. There's really no excuse anymore - since anyone can access the internet. (...)
