   As the previous poster said this book is only handy if it’s a gift. I read this book in quite a short time (about 30 minutes) it was quite an interesting read but whether it was worth purchasing is questionable.

   Tip 1 – Don’t write a book when we have no idea who you are
   
   Tip 2 – Don’t give tips when you yourself aren’t successful using them.
   
   Tip 3-52 – 5 minus 2 = 3 , 3-3 = zero , zero is the number of useful tips in this book.

   just to let you know. BARRY SHULMAN is the CEO of CARDPLAYER MAGAZINE. THE DEFINITIVE poker mag. most of todays top pros write in it and many published poker authors contribute strategy.
   
   Phil Hellmuth9 time WSOP Bracelet Winner, Scott Fishman First man to win Back to BACK bracelets in 36 hours, Daniel NegreanuWSOP PLAYER OF THE year 2004, Thunder Keller and Roy Cook all write for cardplayer..

   and Barrys son Jeff is an accomplished Player himself.
   
   Oh yeah, DONT speak as an authority on something you know nothing about.

   This book is for beginners, and even then you would be much better off getting another book. I started out with an Internet Poker guide, and moved onto Harrington on Holdem I and II.

   Pass on this book unless you have never played poker in your life.

   Mostly tips for limit texas holdem, very little on no limit. Very basic level tips, not as good as i thought it would be

   I received this book as a gift, along with a subscription to Card Player Magazine. I have to say that like the magazine, this book is GREAT!

   I am fairly new to poker, but my results improved almost immediately after I incorporated the strategies from Shulman’s book.

   52 TIPS FOR TEXAS HOLD’EM is simple and concise. It provides someone who has played little or no Hold’em with a sound basic strategy that will add to both his enjoyment of the game and his bottom line. Best of all, it presents a strategy that helps you steer clear of many of the common pitfalls in Hold’em, pitfalls that can quickly erode your cash. Staying out of potentially dangerous situations is very important to a new player like me.

   I believe that all players will find benefits to their game by reading this book, since a true mastery of poker involves not only learning concepts, but also remembering and putting them into practice.
