1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money   February 24, 1999
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is one of the worst books on poker I have ever read. Patrick jumps from one topic to the next, without concentrating on anything long enough to offer any insight. This book reads like the trancript of an hour long speech about poker that you could hear in any card room. If it took longer than a day to write this, I'd be surprised. No matter what your skill level, your money can be better spent on something else.

I am a John Patrick fan. As such, it is disappointing that this book is so bad.

I think Patrick's money management systems are among the best. In this book however, he tells you to take your money off of the table when you are ahead by a given amount. No major casino with a poker room in the United States will let you do that. This is only the first of many problems with this book.

There are many good books on poker for the beginner. This isn't one of them.
