Anyone read this?

Friend just finished it and said it was a great read with alot of great info.

Had some extra $$ on paypal so was thinking about picking it up, just wanted to hear a few other opinions on the books.

So what do you think? Worth the $$? Or should I just save it for something else?

Thanks

strong. very strong. big fan, am i.

it's a little old fashioned...lots of stud hands and 70s photos, but in all good stuff.

Agree with JoJo. It has some great info, but would be better if it was updated.

It's a great book. I honestly don't think that Caro missed a beat writing it and I love the way he writes. The old pics are fun too. I just wish that I'd be more mindful of paying attention to what I've learned from it at the tables.

I thought the book was good.
It needs to e re-released in a modern format.

The 1970's pictures reminded me of watching bad 70's pron.
The hair and clothes are from an era best left in the 70's.

Yeh, Id agree really, it has a lot of very good advice, but a little outdated. Obviously it's not a book on tells/reads (although it has a little section), but Harringtons 3 book series on NLHE tournies is an amazing book.

Loved this book, and have posted a few examples here in the past about how Mike's advice came through with flying colors.

It has saved me from making a few calls, and to make a few I would not have normally. And they were mostly correct.

"Tells" as he describes them are not something that come into play during every game, but just enough ammo that if you know you are not playing against a veteran player that will intentionally throw out bad signals, you can really see some of Mike's examples come to life at the table against new players and at lots of home games.

Any more opionions would be great!

Def' way out-dated. You can still apply much of what is said to the game. Along with what the others have said it'd be nice to see it re-released/edited.
