This is a 60-page overview of Texas Hold'em that surveys all aspects of the game from starting hands to postflop play and when to bluff. It discusses pot odds, bet odds and implied odds. There's a table in the back with the odds for your hand improving based on the outs you need. There's even a few pages about tournament play. It's standard stuff, but distilled down to essentials and graphically well-presented. So why only 3 stars? The book is filled with typos. Cards are described in the same sentence as spade [the symbol] and "s" -- but both things refer to the spade suit. (And "s" could well mean two starting cards of any one suit.) On page 32, he explains that you _should_ call when you do not make your queen-high flush. Huh? I've been folding my missed flushes. As Straham proclaims on the cover, the book is only "5 bucks." Maybe he should price the book higher and employ a proofreader. P.S. After seeing that the glossary --incredibly -- is not alphabetized, I wish I had given the book only two stars.
