I bought this to accompany my existing poker collection and to enhance my knowledge on the specific area of odds and probabilities.
You will want to have a knowledge of poker before reading it as it won't necessarily give you an all round lesson in Texas Hold Em. It really does tend to concentrate on the odds/probabilities side of playing hands and the author does a good job of illustrating how those statistics apply to example hands.
I found it helped me to get my head around some of the basic statistics in the game and being able to calculate them rather than memorise them.
A well-written and comprehensive book on holdem poker odds and probabilities April 27, 2007

Want a book that tackles in depth the key concept of pot odds, draws, probabilities and even some starting hand options, but whilst not ignoring mathematics, does try to explain it in an understandable way? - then I'd recommend Matthew's book whole-heartedly. Look to Dan Harrington and Arnold Synder for more depth and advanced table strategy with their tournament books, and John Vorhaus's latest 'Killer Poker Online 2' (better than his first one) if you want a few more tips to adapt it all for the manic world of low-stakes internet play, but I think this is the book to provide you with the basic groundwork you need to stop you expensively chasing draws and pushing second-best hands, whilst also giving you enough facts and odds to understand when looking to improve your holding at a reasonable risk is actually a good option in some circumstances. The probability tables/lists at the back are very useful. It comes with a free CD, but that really only takes you to his website and is not essential to the quality or depth of the book at all. In Limit poker such a book is essential, and whilst No-Limit and Tournament play needs a more flexible approach and an eye on implied odds (which to be fair he does cover well), this basic grounding is essential. Every new player needs to build on these firm foundations of pot odds and improvement probabilities, before they move onto developing their own style and advanced strategies and I haven't come across a better book for drawing this area of poker into a single place so well. One for your poker library for sure.
 Very useful but a little tough to follow October 5, 2006

This is one of the best books on Poker odds but, whilst it has a few table examples, it otherwise lacks illustrations of hands and scenarios
