Phil Hellmuth

This book is one of the least insightful books I have read about poker. If you have a monthly game with friends, I suggest giving them a copy of this book to increase your own chances of winning. His rating system for players is just not that insightful. His preflop hand selection is horrible. The Anne Duke section on Omaha 8 is slightly better, but not that great. You could read either Super System II or the Full Tilt Strategy book to get a much better background on the theory of O8.

Meh. It was all right. Phil likes to play a lot tighter than I do. Also, a lot of his book had to deal with the limit game (I prefer no-limit).

Petit livre de poche bien pratique par son format et facile à lire. Phil Helmuth commence par exposer la stratégie pour les débutants puis l'enrichit dans la stratégie intérmédiaire et finalement dans la stratégie pour joueurs avancés. Limit hold'em et no limit hold'em sont détaillés ainsi que les tournois. Le tout émaillé d'exemple de mains et d'anectodes de ce multi-champion du monde de Poker.

It was interesting to read, but as I've let it sink in and learn more about his play I find it more useful than I thought it would be. He didn't make 3 final tables and win bracelet #10 for nothing!
