Book Reviews of Ace on the River: An Advanced Poker Guide
Book Review: "Advanced" Guide? HARDLY!
Summary: 2 Stars
Most amusing part of this book: Greenstein is SO condescending towards the tournament players. On the one hand he's correct - what it takes to play high limit poker is totally different from tourney poker. So yes, most tourney players like jesus would suck at money poker. BUT - most of the tourney players readily admit that - they aren't trying to say that they are the best "poker" players - just that they are the best tourney players. But it's hilarious to see how jealous barry is that the tourney players get all the fame and endorsements, when he could kick their butt if they played him for money. BUT I don't agree that tourney play is 100% luck - there is an element of skill to that game too - its just a completely different skill set. ANYWAY -back to the book. MAIN PROBLEM: It's not an advanced poker guide. It's Barry's life story, and some of his thoughts about life and sex - but the actual poker discussion is so minimal. I guess Doyle Brunson didn't read the book before writing his forward, which relates to "Barry revealing secrets" - he reveals no secrets! There is one sentence where he points out that he likes to semi-bluff on the turn, rather than the flop. THANKS FOR THAT INSIGHT, BG - at least you don't have to worry about your opponents getting into your head. Unfortunately, the reading public can't gain any poker knowledge from your book either. READERS: Stick to supersystem, you'll be OK.
