Average Rating: Rating: - Worthwhile, but not for the beginner Overall Inside the Poker Mind should be part of any serious poker player's library. However, it shouldn't be one of the first books read about poker. Quite frankly, beginning players won't get much out of it, and most who have (that I know of) are dissappointed. For the intermediate to advanced player, the subjects addressed should be extremely useful. For the most part, the book focuses, as the title implies, on different ways of thinking rather than strict tactical plays. Example: in the "strategic moment" section, the auther contrasts what the average player thinks as opposed to what the advanced player considers. In this way the author illustrates the depths of poker. Overall very worthwhile if you're ready for it. Rating: - Dull, unoriginal, misleading I was looking forward to this book when I ordered it from Amazon and I have to say I was quite disappointed. First, there is very little here about the poker mind. A few obvious bits of advice about not going on tilt but no real analysis of what goes on inside a poker player's brain during a game. For this reason, I feel the book's title is misleadinng, to say the least. Second, the book has little original to say. It echoes ideas that can be found (but said more clearly) in books by Sklansky and Malmouth. If you have books by those authors, you don't need this one. Third, the book makes comments which strike me as completely wrong. Namely, that tournament victories are largely achieved by luck and that pot limit is bad for the game of poker. This leaves those of us who think tournaments are won by skill, or who like pot limit, out in the cold. Finally, the book is quite dry. The lively annecdotes which can make other poker books fun to read are not here. This is dry stuff. If it were better stuff, that wouldn't matter so much, but it's not. Clearly, given the rave reviews this book is getting, I'm in the minority here. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so. Still, if you're a limit player who likes to grind away, maybe this book is for you (although even then there are other authors I'd prefer) but if you like pot or no limit, don't bother. Rating: - Get Inside the Poker Mind Now! The book is a classic. It is great addition to any poker library. It deals with many important issues that affect poker players today. The controversial "AQ test" essay alone is worth the cover price. It is written by the real deal, a pro player who understands the important complex interrelationships between emotions, tactics, and theory and puts it all together in one book. See you at the tables. Im hoping you don't actually get this book.
