Phil Helmuth's book "Play Poker Like the Pros" is a great book for beginners, amatuers, and pro's alike. Although much of his book is geared for new comers to the game, Phil's insight on Poker Stradegy is great for anyone who loves the game. This is the first Poker book I ever purchased, and it improved my game by leaps and bounds. Although I've come to find my own style, as he would recommend, I still use several fundamentals that Helmuth wrote on.

This book is a MUST READ any poker fanatic, I couldn't lay it down! It will helps you poker knowledge & wallet grow greatly! And as always may your cards be live and your pots be monsters!

Honestly, this is the worst poker book I've read. It did not teach me anything new and I have only been playing for 2 years or so. His writing skills are lacking and he jumps around too much. When he's talking about playing online, he mentions that body language is important when you want to decide to check, raise, or just call. Well how can you do that when you are playing online? Ok you can remember how that person has played so far but unless you have special powers, you cannot see the other person's body language on party poker!! I think Phil Hellmuth was just trying to write a book because he is supposedly famous. Yeah well, nice try- this is not a good book for the beginner or the experienced player.
