How often do you play poker? Do you play for fun or to make money? How high are the stakes of your games? If you play semiserious poker on a weekly basis in a standing game for more than laundry money, this is the book for you. Steiner, the author of an economics textbook, focuses on helping weekly players enhance their card-playing techniques and use of strategy. The text teaches how to evaluate competitors and identify their tendencies as well as offering tips on masking one’s own identifiable habits. It also provides understandable descriptions of the standard poker games and their variations, explaining the best ways to get an edge on the other players. Steiner is quite thorough, though only a dedicated poker competitor would implement all the strategies outlined. A good choice for most recreation collections. Scott Wilkens
