Customer Reviews: Read 13 more reviews... Great for ADVANCED Poker players April 4, 2008Bobby H This book is one of the best poker books I have read. The info in it is not basic and is definitely not for beginners. This book is about strategy if your looking for a book to tell you what to do in every situation, a) you won't find it and b) if you did I'd tell you to burn it. Poker is a game of situations that require skilled analysis of the situation and your opponent. The strategies in this book help you to do both of those things and make it harder for your opponents to do so. Killer Poker is about a mindset, if you embrace the mindset this system will help elevate your game to a much higher level. To let you know after reading this book I won my college's no-limit tournament with over 500 other players and went to AC and won over $400 in 6 hours at a $1/$2 table.  worthless; this book is just a self-indulgent poker journal March 18, 2008J. R. This review is of the book titled 'Killer Poker: Strategy and Tactics for Winning Poker Play' with an ISBN of 0-8184-0630-5. The book is obviously nothing more than a journal kept by the author, John Vorhaus, to encourage himself and improve his own play. His suggestions about how to play--or how not to play--are occasionally vague, and often contradictory. He repeatedly recommends to the reader to write down their own reactions, to keep their own "poker journal." Aside from the book having been edited for publication (to no doubt remove much repetition and improve the overall structure), the actual content of the book reads like what it is: a dull, solipsistic diary of no value to anyone but the author. It is not about poker, it is about John Vorhaus talking to himself in an effort to stop playing badly and to instead play "Killer Poker," whatever that is. There are several other books in the Killer Poker series, which seem to roll off the publisher's printing presses as if trees have no value. The only one I *can* recommend is 'Killer Poker By the Numbers,' written instead by Tony Guerrera.  Playing poker with a straight head September 17, 2007Jason Baumann (MD) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful Pretty solid book. Helps getting you in the right state of mind when playing poker. I believe this is crucial to your game and have enjoyed the book. Easy to read and a good flow to it. Definitely feel like its improved my game and would recommend it. Just to give you a comparison I have read the following and thought they were solid poker books as well: Super System, Harrington on Hold'em, Phil Gordon's little green book, Caro's Book of Tells, and In the Money Strategies for winning texas Hold'em cash games. I have read other poker books but don't think they are worth purchasing.....GOOD LUCK! Too advanced for poker retards. March 7, 2007Human 1 out of 2 found this review helpful It's no wonder some of you poker bandwagon jumpers hated this book. It's much too advanced for you. This isn't one of those cookie-cutter books that every por is writing right now to make a few bucks. This is a serious look at the philosophy of poker, written by a self-proclaimed amatuer. The best piece of advice in this book regards becoming a poker professional. "When should I turn pro?" someone asks. John answers "Probably never." It's wisdom like that which makes this book so valuable. John gives out his email address in the version I read and I decided to write him with a question. He answered me, and gave me some good advice. What a stud. This is the best poker book I've ever read, and I've read about 40 of them. Trust me. The worst book ever!!!!! April 21, 2006T. Abrashev (Usa) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful This is the worst book I have ever read about poker,and I have more than 20.This is not a book for serious poker player at all,it may teach some compulsive gamblers how to reduce their losses but nothing more.I paid $4 for it and I regret for buying it,don't waste your money.(I am not surprised that used copy of it goes for $1+shipping) | |||||||||||
