"Killer Poker Online" book review.

I finished reading some chapters from Killer Poker Online by John Vorhaus a few days ago. When I browsed the book before reading it, I only wanted to invest my time in a few chapters. Many of the other chapters would be a good read for beginning players, but not to someone who understands the game at a higher level.

The Data Management chapter outlines some good guidelines for how to manage your play data, statistics, and notes on opponents. I am an avid stat and note keeper, but this chapter really reinforced the guidelines someone should go by when diving into online poker.

The other four chapters that I read were Winning Tactics for Online Play, Online Tells, and Found Objects, and Tips. All of these chapters provide a nice, solid foundation of strategy and hints that will help to elevate your online game. A lot of the information here was repetitive to me, but as I have been going through a bad run, it was good to go back over some basic ideas and strategies.

The book was more of a general outline to some concepts and practices that one should stick to for online poker, but it lacked a lot of in depth tactics and strategy. There wasn't really any hand analysis I ran across. There wasn't any talk about how to play certain opponents or situations either. This is where I believe the book was really lacking and something that I believe any good poker book should have.

Overall rating: 2/5
