A Must Read for any serious poker player

Could not wait to get in my car to listen.
Zachary really researched all venues and he had a special approach due to his first hand ...pun intended..
knowledge of many well known players.

Wonderful Trove of Information

This was an incredible book. The author explores so many different leaks in my own game. This and his other titles have proven to be worth every penny

Worth the Listen

I enjoyed the book. Good Content and theory based on in-depth knowledge and study of the material. The book is well structured and has value for those players looking for a small edge.

Great narration and explanations

I learned a lot, even my own mistakes listening to this book. I highly recommend it for players who enjoy the "acting and bluffing" part of poker.

Highly recommended

As a mostly recreational cash game player I new there were a lot tells my opponents were given off but I didn't know what they meant or what I should be looking for. After reading this book I was able to immediately identify the massive tells my opponents were giving away. This really upped my game especially in spots were I was on the fence about what to do. His examples were given from his own hand history and was easy to understand.

More than just a book on tells

For sure the best poker tell book I have read or listened to. It also provides great insight On overall betting patterns and putting opponents on ranges. Possibly not the best book for beginning poker players? Author/writer speaks in a fast monotone voice, but, who cares! The content is super enlightening!

Well worth the cost of a credit

I haven't actually played live poker in several years although have played as a professional previously and now as a serious hobby. I bought this book on the strength of verbal poker tells which was referenced in a podcast/youtube poker video and then bought this from the same author. I found this book immensely interesting and thought of aspects where I realise I have played hands badly in the past.

If my play improves by a fraction of a percentage then with enough hands this book will pay for itself many times over, it might be several years till I play live poker but there are enough aspects that apply to online poker and I have no time regrets listening to this. it will probably be on my list of books I can fall asleep to, each example hand has its own chapter so it will get lots of repeat listens.
