 Solid ABC Poker December 24, 2008

This is a good book. I guess it reaches a market of poker players who are not watching online training videos - because this really is just a written text version.
The three authors each explain their thinking pre-flop/ post-flop/ turn/ river, for real hands they played online (194 in total).
Essentially, the book is a demonstration in ABC poker - including continuation betting, the odd bit of stealing, and way less bluffing than most poker players think must be used.
This book would introduce a number of new concepts to less experienced players (like reads, puting your opposition on a range, playing the player, considering stack sizes/tourney stage, table image, etc..)
For me it was re-inforement of good solid poker play.
Each hand is laid-out well with logical explaination of their actions on each street - and also includes the result (which does not always go in favour of the hero).
Note that this book only covers hands up to near the bubble of a MTT. A planned 2nd issue will cover hands played during the money to final table stages of a MTT.
Top players tell you everything about how they play a hand December 22, 2008

Have you ever wondered how a top player plays a hand? I've been really interested lately in learning about how a real pro thinks, so I've been looking at every book I can find that tells me what goes on in their minds.
This one is pretty good. A lot of them just go on and on like they were having a drink with you but it's really not that interesting. But this one really has real information. I felt like by the time I finished it, I learned a lot.
 Didnt want to stop reading it! November 28, 2008

Quite fascinating to see how an agressive player thinks. I dont think it helped my game though. I tried some of that stuff and got killed. Still, it is a great book. Maybe it will come to me.
This book is great! September 30, 2008

I am relatively new to poker, but I've read the Harrington's and the Phil Gordon's etc. etc.
Those books teach you the basics and then go on to teach some strategy.
Winning One Hand at a Time is strictly strategy driven. You're shown a hand, and then Rizen, Pearljammer or Apestyles breaksdown how to play the hand. It sounds pretty simple, but it's cool to see how these internet greats play their hands.
It's well formated, and easy to read. The writing is clear and easy to follow. I think any fan of poker, or anyone learning or studying poker will enjoy this book.
I can't wait for Vol. II.
