Beat Texas Hold'em
by Tom McEvoy
Written by Haunted Poker for exclusive
use.
Mostly suited for beginner's, this easy read is
inexpensive but still full of valuable content. This
little book will only put you out about $6 or $7, but if
you're completely just getting started with poker, I
think that it's a great choice. The book begins by
outlining the basic rules and structure of Texas Hold'em
in an organized way. Following that are chapters written
about specific variations such as tournament play, Limit
Hold'em, and No-Limit Hold'em.
I like Tom McEvoy's advice, and he's a tournament expert
with a WSOP Championship under his belt. While it may be
topics that you already incorporate into your game, I
think that the no-limit section is the best part because
it actually addresses cash game strategy. Most Hold'em
books target the beginner limit crowd, but this one of
the few resources I have found that gives some good
advice on no-limit ring games. It's only one chapter in
the book, but it's good stuff.
If you're just getting into poker this is a good
introduction
of key topics that you should review multiple times
before you site down at your first real money game. Even
as an experienced player, I still look through this one
occasionally to help remind me of necessary fundamentals
that I may be overlooking. You'll probably be
disappointed if you're looking for advanced topics, but
it's definitely worth the few bucks to plug a few
possible leaks in your game.
