You will never be a great poker player if
you don’t know how to read your opponents at the table.
Discovering tells that reveal if a player is bluffing or actually
holding a strong hand is absolutely vital if you want to be
a winner. In this book Mike Caro, known as” the mad
genius of poker” lists a vast number of tells that will
help you make correct decisions in tricky situations. Find an online poker room to try this at.
Each tell is assigned a name and number and
they are thoroughly explained with text as well as pictures.
One downside to the book is that the quality of the pictuers
is quite poor, but it’s still a great guide to understanding
the psychological aspects of poker. Much has changed in poker
since the first version of the book was published in 1983
but it has stood the test of time.
Mike
Caro is not one of the most successful poker players of all
time, but certainly one of the most fascinating. His interest
in the game was exploring poker psychology rather than winning.
Play poker freerolls for fun. Caro became famous for his astonishing plays, sometimes good,
sometimes really bad, and thus was given the nickname “the
mad genius of poker”.

This
is not a perfect book but still one of the best about Omaha.
It covers most aspects of this complex game such as the rules
of play, the best starting hands and flop, turn and river
strategies. It will also help you read the board for both
high and low, show you how to discover dangerous draws and
how to play against loose and tight players. Omaha is played
in many different ways - Limit High-Low, Limit High, and Pot-Limit
High – and their all tended to in this book. More information

But
as mentioned there are some flaws. The structure and editing
is poor, and some sections, the on tournament play for example,
aren’t as elaborate that one would wish. In addition
to this some of the concepts described seem rather old and
the book could use a little freshening up.
The
authors, T.J. Cloutier and Tom McEvoy are both experienced
Omaha players, with four World Series of Poker titles each
under the belt. The two have written several other books together
such as Championship Tournament Poker, Championship No-Limit
and Pot-Limit Hold'em and Championship Hold'em.
