"I have read over 60 poker books and I can honestly say that this book is now my favorite strategy book for low stakes NLHE cash games. But this book will not be helpful to beginners. I recommend all of The Harrington books for beginner and intermediate levels and Ed Miller's books especially 'The Course'. I now play predominantly low and sometimes middle stakes cash games about 20 hours per week and in addition read poker books to improve my game. Annie Duke is a great teacher. This book together with her short book 'the Middle Zone' and Ed Miller's 'the Course' are the most important books I've read which have impacted on my winning results. I can't wait for Annie Duke's next books. Thank you Annie!!!"

Decide to Play Great Poker A Strategy Guide to Nolimit Texas Hold Em Audible Audio Edition Annie Duke John Vorhaus Spoken Word Inc Books Reviews
- This is a very good theory book. She is dead on with the way she thinks the hands through. Very complete in her teaching. Plan on reading it more than once to comprehend it all. Im on my 5th time through it myself. I've read MANY poker books by multiple famous author's and her advice is as good if not better than any. The only complaint I have is that it gets very boring. I know she isn't in the book business per say, but the first time I read it and everytime since I find my mind wandering during the middle areas of the book. I put it down and come back later. If your looking for a solid how to play book this is it. But if you have a short attention span to dry reads your gonna struggle with it.
- This is a very solid and sound book. I have read well over 30 poker books and I like the way she thinks through hands. Not only did I read it once, I referred back to it a few times over the last year. I'm really writing this review because most of the 1 star reviews are irresponsible and I wanted to reply. If you read the 1 star reviews you will notice a few things. First, most of them did not read the book. Second, most of them are angry at her brother and simply wrote an angry comment. Also, most of the comments are completely meritless. Several reviews said that she is not qualified to write a poker book because she does not win. This is incorrect. Annie Duke has won over $4,000,000 in poker tournaments and cashed over 40 times. If this is not winning, I want this level of failure. One of the 1 star reviews is clearly just a promotion for 2 plus 2 books. He not only complained about this book, he managed to complain about all of the Gordon books as well. One of the reviewers actually tried to claim that all 75 five-star reviews must be fake. So this one mean that got 75 people that live in different places to write long and detailed reviews (some over 300 words) that are all fake. What seems more realistic, that 75 people are lying or that 12 people that gave the book a bad review have their own agenda's. I don't know Annie, but I would really hate if my work was insulted because of something my brother was involved with. If you are a low to mid level player you will get some good ideas from this book. Its worth the price. It's not perfect, but I have gotten a lot out of it and I have definitely applied things I learned in this book to my game.
- The book itself is a great and possibly fresh perspective on how to approach your betting, calling, raising, and bluffing. It involves reading the situation, rather than the cards. It helps you determine not what to bet, but what that bet represents, and if the bet is justified in math and in your strategy for that hand.
Bonus for Audible narrated by Annie Duke herself! - I had read this book before, reading bits and pieces here and there. I thought I was applying it in my play, but I was doing it totally incorrectly and - more importantly - inconsistently. However, I knew enough to recognize that there was something there that was missing from my game that I hadn't learned from the many other poker books I've read.
So - in order to try to really learn it, I downloaded the audiobook version and started listening every day during my commute. I am now into my third listen, and I'm still learning and getting better. My tournament results have sky-rocketed, helped no doubt by a healthy dose of winning races in key spots. This audiobook has paid for itself about 400-500X by my estimate.
However - and WAY more importantly - I am 1000% more comfortable at the table and positive of the moves I make. This confidence is contagious and helps me to project a much more scary table image and get way more respect. No longer am I picked on as the weak-tight fish just hoping to make it into the money. I recently won my first tourney in the local card room, and one of the players in the final 3 told me "I had a feeling early on that it would be me and you in it to the end."
This book had not only made me a better poker player, but it's made me a happier poker player. Now that is a good poker book. - Worth the read after you have been playing poker for a while. The next step toward improving your game. But don't read this book if you have no idea about Texas Hold em and certainly no understanding of the winning hands. This is not poker 101 but your senior grad level study after understanding the basics and appreciating the jargon. Annie Duke provides insightful ways to better your game and realize the holes in your preconceived play strategies. After reading this book, you'll be much more adept to recognize poor play at the table and feel confident why someone is completely clueless in their understanding of poker when they open their mouth at the table.
- I have read over 60 poker books and I can honestly say that this book is now my favorite strategy book for low stakes NLHE cash games. But this book will not be helpful to beginners. I recommend all of The Harrington books for beginner and intermediate levels and Ed Miller's books especially 'The Course'.

- She talks like someone with experience. Example 78s middle position. She gets real. What good is it, if you raise and miss where are you? If you limp and hit the 8, but there is an over card, where are you? The book is filled with in depth analysis.
