 A weak holding June 20, 2008

I've been playing social and online poker for about 15 years with moderate success, and have read at about two dozen poker books, including the Harringtons, Sklanskys, Phil Gordons and so on.
I am a great fan of Daniel Negreanu in both his player and pundit roles, but I'm afraid this was a highly disappointing book. It's more like a scrap book of ideas and comments, cobbled together with no particular structure and barely any depth. Also, don't be fooled by the page count. Many of the pages are half full with the various "pearls" of the wisdom mentioned in the title. I finished the whole thing in a few hours and didn't feel I'd learned anything of particular substance. I'm sure the publishers and Daniel were happy to cash-in on the name Negreanu, but that's exactly what this book felt like - a cash-in. I really wouldn't waste your money on these "pearls".
 great if your a beginner October 23, 2007

I thought this book would include some kind of special game plan thought of by Daniel, he is a great player but doesn't really show it in this book.

I'm surprised at the content of this book. It has obviously been thrown together, assembled from articles published elsewhere. I thought I was buying a book that would give me a good insight to the game from Daniel's perspective. Instead I've got a book with a bunch of standard tips and guidelines that are freely available on the net. A couple of the topics rescue the book in a small way, but overall I'm disappointed with the content. I'm surprised Daniel put his name to this. It has the feel of a sellout/cheap money spinner. I rate Daniel as a player and a name in the game, so I was looking forward to his new book. This will make me think twice.
 don't bother July 20, 2007

I was lucky as this booked cost me nothing, it offers absolutley nothing new to the game and the tips and techniques are simple and obvious , I have nothing against the said author and enjoy his play , this therefore makes me wonder whether he had anything to do with it and if not why has he put his name to it . I have a number of books in my poker library and this is by far the worst. At best ...no i can't even recommend it to a beginner as there are many better books out there . Try Vorhaus , Harrington , Salansky ,and Snyder and if you wnat a quick fix guide i'd recommend Lou Krieger and Sheree Bykofsky " Secrets the pro's won't tell you about holdem poker . you have been warned .
Good for a beginner's crash course, not much depth. June 17, 2007

Having read all 3 volumes of `Harrington on Hold-em' (must read material if you're serious about playing hold-em well) I thought I'd also give this book a go.
The book brushes on a number of concepts and theories that HOH and other books go into, (suited connectors, pot odds, etc) but in nowhere near as much depth. To be honest, having read the book there's wasn't really much else, if anything that I felt I'd learned. And although Daniel Negreanu is considered one of the best poker players around, and has far more experience of the game than I do, I would argue that some of his theories are somewhat strange, especially how he advises beginners to stick to fixed, very large raises when they pick up a hand (almost robotic like).
In summary, if you're very new to the game and want a crash course in some useful theories you can read in a day or two then go for this. If you have more patience and really want to scratch beneath the surface go for the HOH series (volume 2 if I had to pick one of the three).
