It's worth it just for those 70's hairstyles....

It's like a bad porno movie without the porn.

Honestly, I got just as much, if not more, out of reading his section on draw poker in Super/System. He explains many of the same tells here, and I feel he does it better because the whole point of his section is to learn how to win, and you can't win if you can't tell what you're opponent is thinking. In poker tells, he just kinda lists them all out for you.

the video is better and you can stream most of the clips for free on his website. google him

ive read the book, and if you arent really sure of what to look for in tells then its somewhat worth reading. one thing i never understood about it is that for each tell, he says that if you master it you will earn (x)$ per hour at (y)limit. each tell is worth like $3/hr at 5/10. apparently if you master all of his tells youll earn like $3000/hr playing a 5/10 game.

book kinda sucks, sorry caro [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I got some value out of it. I'd recommend it. Every little bit helps. It might pretend to be more than it is, but that's okay. It still has some good.

Hi mostsmooth:

Yes it's worth reading, particularly for the motivation behind the tells. However, the estimates of what the tells are worth are much too high in my opinion.

Best wishes,

Decent book. I skimmed it.

It's got some great lines in it, though. Really.
