Finally a book I can understqand

I have read hold em books for 2 years. I have had to stick with 7 stud as my hold em results in live play have been awful. Yea, this book covers basic tenets that all these books cover (and puts a few fresh perspectives that none of the others do). What is different about Cardoza is that he communicates it in a way that finally makes sense and is understandable. It leaves the reader with no doubt as to what these basic concepts are all about. Now I understand position, pot and implied odds, how to approach a low action conservative table and how to approach a high action crowd where most everyone stays in and many other of the topics covered in other books but just simply not explained clearly and simply. Thank you very much Mr. Cardoza. U Da Man !!!

It's not the books you own, it's the books you read........

I'm guilty of owning all the best books and of reading the ones that are the most user friendly. This book by Avery Cardoza doesn't have anything that isn't to be found in the other good hold'em books, but for the beginner, all the important, basic information is here in a well-organized, entertaining package that covers the basics of limit/no-limit, cash and tournament hold'em. After reading this book, you will be able to join in and continue to learn without being overwhelmed with more than you needed to get started and it is not in any way dumb-downed or inaccurate despite it being a "crash course."
