The Ultimate On-Line Poker Bible
Internet Poker tells you Everything You Always Wanted To Know About (online) Poker And Were Afraid To Ask - and then some. The authors, Lou Krieger and Kathleen Keller Watterson have put together a step-by-step Poker Bible that guides the novice who can barely tell a Flush from a Straight as well as the poker professional who thinks he already has all the answers (and then finds he doesn't) into the poker cyber world. When all the basics have been covered, Internet Poker goes into the specifics of online poker. First-timers may be timid about taking the step from the brick and mortar casino to the cyber version. We don't know what to expect, how to get started, how to find the right sites, the right games, understand the jargon, observe the online ethics, how to handle the money aspect and much, much more that is online-specific. Internet Poker addresses every question, every concern an online poker novice might have that might stop him from even trying in the first place. This book, extremely well researched, written in a highly accessible way - the authors don't talk at you, they talk to you! - should dispel any notions of doubt or bashfulness. After reading through the chapters we come away with the notion that the cyber world isn't going to eat us alive, isn't going to crash and burn when we make mistakes. It can be a very entertaining and, if you play your cards right (sorry, couldn't resist that) lucrative and convenient way to play poker. It's a new world for many of us, but this book guides us through potential pratfalls and removes the fear factor that accompanies the unknown. Online poker is on the rise. It is not a fad. It's here to stay. So, we might as well get on with it and become part of the phenomenon. After all, who won the $ 2.5 million at the 2003 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas? Chris Moneymaker was an Internet player! The accompanying CD - all part of the $ 14.95 price-tag - is a must-have for anybody serious about online poker. While the sample hands in the book are very helpful, the CD with the Wilson Software demos is priceless. You can download it in the privacy of your own home and follow the instructions. It gives you a first look at the real thing. Let Krieger and Watterson take you by the virtual hand and help you make the online jump. Internet Poker makes it really easy!

Keep Flopping ACES

As a beginner I was reluctant to invest my hard-earned money at an online poker site until I read this book. Everything was made simple, all was demystified, and with a little practice under my belt I'm now completely comfortable playing online.

I was also impressed with the CD that comes with the book. There are 125 poker hands from the Wilson "Turbo" series that you can play interactively on your computer, while reading how the authors would play those hands.

In addition, the CD includes downloads to some of the bigger, and more well-established online poker sites. The book is very well written, clear, concise, and easy to read and understand. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in playing poker online.

Now, if I can only duplicate Chris Moneymaker's feat by winning a $40 Internet tournament and parlaying it into winning the World Series of Poker, that would be icing on the cake.

This was a very Enjoyable Book. It provided important and useful concepts about the game of Poker. I learned new concepts, which identified some leaks in my game. Leaks in your game can come from anywhere!!! Leaks can originate from lack of aggression, overcalling raises, misreading opponents and any other number of ways. So this book helps. Many people look at poker the wrong way. They think to win they need to do all of this super fancy plays and mindblowing stunts. Well folks...there are not that many options in poker...you fold, call or raise. So its really hard to do thinks that will just fool your opponents all the time. To win at poker it is mostly limiting your mistakes and getting all that you can from winning hands and minimizing losses on losing hands...that's it

Ive been playing for about 5 years now and love the game. Ive read many poker books and found this one to be very good. So I would suggest you buy this book and maybe a couple others and get to playing. There's really no excuse anymore - since anyone can access the internet.
