About The Author
Matthew Hilger's interest in professional poker is three-fold: playing, writing, and managing poker content websites. His second book became another best-seller titled Texas Hold'em Odds and Probabilities: Limit, No-limit, and Tournament Strategies. In early 2007, he released his third book, coauthored with Ian Taylor, titled The Poker Mindset: Essential Attitudes for Poker Success. Matthew received his bachelor's degree in Finance from the University of Georgia in 1989. He completed a master's degree in Finance at Georgia State University in 1991 as well as a master's degree in International Business from Thunderbird in 1996. Prior to embarking on a poker career, Matthew worked in various accounting, finance, and consulting positions. Matthew cashed eight times at the World Series of Poker between 2004 and 2006, including one final table and a 33rd place finish in the main event. He also won the 2002 New Zealand Poker Championship. Matthew now devotes a lot of his working time to his website and poker forum where he answers questions about his books and general poker strategy.
Customer Reviews & Comments
Let me be perfectly clear: This is not a bad book on how to successfuly play holdem. I would have no problem recommending this book to anyone who is interested in LEARNING how to play. However, as a book that advertises itself as how to play and win online it is no better than anything else out there. Which is to say: it is a disappointment. 80% of the book is dedicated to the basics of holdem play and strategy. The remaining 20% offers sometimes useful insight into playing online but nothing that is particularly insightful or revolutionary. [...] Finally, don't buy this book in search of the "secret" to winning on the internet. It is simply not any better or different than anything else out there. It's a good BASIC book on holdem, nothing more, nothing less. [...]
