   Burton put together the kind of book that should be of interest to those who are about to embark on a trip into the world of low-limit poker.As a novice who authors a website about gambling, he needed to study poker in order to write about it.But he did more than study; he immersed himself in it until he became a winning player.Still fresh from his education, he wrote this book for others who want to follow a similar path.Burton stresses the importance analyzing your own game, including the basics of proper play, the concept of position, when to check, check-raise, or fold and how to size up your opponents and their styles.He covers tournament play and money management as well as the most common mistakes made by the novice or unskilled player.Along the way, he relates his own journey from the kitchen to the cardroom to the winner's circle.37% pages, paperbound, indexed, January 2003.

   Bill Burton, the casino guide for About.com, has done a great job of boiling down the essentials of Texas Hold em to a series of rules and betting strategies that I find right on the money.Even as a long time player, I learned a lot from Mr. Burton.This book is an excellent book for beginners and somewhat more experienced players.Burton is easy to read and the book should be one of the two or three must books for starting players to master.Good job all around!
