Get the Edge at Low-Limit Texas Hold"Em By Bill Burton Book Review
Burton does an all right job of acquainting you to low limit concepts.
This book won't help more advanced players but is a effective base to start out for newer players.
Burton appears to barrow several of his thoughts from David Sklansky the author to Winning Small Stakes Hold'em.
His hand ranking advice is alike to Sklansky but even a little More tight.
Burton himself acknowledged to have establishing his hand ranks on Sklansky's.
The Trouble with Burtons suggestions are that the lower limits games are a good deal more loose and being too tight won't maximize your profit.
With that said I do believe Burton furnishes pretty beneficial tactical advice to those new players that plan on playing in the lower limit games.
There's one matter that I didn't like about the book.
He doesn't devote information on raising for value while you're playing stronger hands and draws, since this can be very profitable in the looser games.
Burtons approach is a a good deal more passive game than a lot of other authors have written on, this is not bad for new players as they might not understand more advance concepts at first anyways.
So, this book could be a great place to begin for a new player that knows little about the game of Texas Hold'em or poker for that matter.
Burton gives his readers the basics of right play, the rules, protocols, starting hand advice, and what hands to not play.
He also discusses table position, check timing, raising, folding and check raising.
His section on bankroll requirements is among the better parts of the book and has some Good advice.
Bill Burton writes for About.
com as an gambling expert.
He also writes for Midwest gaming and Travel as well as other magazines.
Finally Burton writes on his own travel from a new player to turning a professional, which provides some good reading.
I would tell you that this book is worth reading if you're new to the game of low limit hold'em, if you're seeking more advance strategies you'll be able to skip this one.
