Summary: I wish I could pan this book
Review: The problem is, giving this book a rave review may get people I play with to read it and then I won't make as much money. Still, I must do what I must do.
This is a great book on holdem, and deserves to come from a guy who calls himself 'the coach.'
Each chapter covers a particular issue (pre-flop play from early position, turn play, etc.), with a brief but useful introduction and then adds numerous extremely useful examples, with correct play pointed out and explained for each example. Useful to read straight through or just go to problem parts of your game (value betting on the river, for example).
My only warning is that this book is probably not for beginning players. It has no easy charts on what to play and when and assumes some basic holdem knowledge. That said, for any player beyound the beginner stage this is an excellent book. You won't be sorry (but I might).

Summary: nice title good read
Review: This book has some questionable advice for some of todays more aggressive games but it's a title I reccommend to all serious players. I personally read this one after a number of 2+2 books (like Hold'em Poker for Advanced, Small Stakes Hold'em and Theory of Poker) and found it a great read that allowed me to go through and challenge my mind and the suggestions in the book. It's still a good read and a must in my mind if you play limit poker seriously at any of the higher levels.

Summary: Useful, and Excellent Value
Review: This is a dense piece of work. If you like white space and graphics in your books, this one is not for you. I had a keen interest in improving my game at the middle limits and this book gave me some excellent techniques. If you think you know it all, buy this and learn more. The presentation method is case study, so you are getting pure practical knowledge, mainly from real hands played in real games. I'm glad I spent the money.

Summary: Only read half so far...
Review: This is the best poker book I've read so far. The format is exactly what poker player need. Poker players, for the most part, crave action. MLHP get's the readers involved by asking questions taken from real hands. Then they explain what the correct play is.Much like any poker book, there are some plays that I disagree with. This is to be expected and almost all the hands are marginal plays. But because they give an explanation to why they think a particular course of action is correct, it still adds a lot of value.

Summary: Very Enjoyable Book¿Now Get To Playin!!!
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.
