One of the best book on tells for begginers. And it has more complex tells in it also. I deffinately recommend reading this for any new/intermidate players that want to step up their 'reading' game.
For example, there is a lot of focus on observing how people smoke their cigarettes. Much of the material in this book is dated. The concepts are good, but the situations are outdated. Since most poker rooms do not allow smoking today, there is little value to that material. Maybe the book can help you to focus on observing your opponents' behaviour.
Bought as a gift, person loved it. Said it vastly improved their game, both online and off.
It's full of bad black and white photos that look like they were taken in the '70s with players in disco cloths and mustaches, and dealers with big bow ties that looked like they stepped off the Blade Runner set etc. not at all representative of 'what' you will see when you play.All kinds of tells concerning Stud poker and other games i don't play.The text reads like an 'Amway come-on speech'.There are a few interesting ideas but overall this book is poor.
If you understand the basic strategy the game, this book will give you what math and probabilities doesn't explain. It's amazing how easily you can you identify the strength of your opponent's hand, just by spotting a tell. This book you put you at a next level.
