If only Daniel wrote entire book

I am not going to write the detailed review, as I agree with most of the reviewers.

To sum up:

Good:
1. Daniel's chapter is excellent with a lot of quality info
2. Finally, we have some decent information and tips on small ball. And from one of the best poker players.
3. Chapters by other authors have some good tips, but if you are above beginner, you will not find much of value.
4. Daniel's writing style is very easy to read, and I swallowed the entire chapter in under an hour. Time to read again, and then reread.

Bad:
1. Only one chapter is written by Daniel. I feel some of the rainforest has been wasted.
2. The publisher of the book in Preface called it "the best poker book ever released". He put it next to Brunson's SS and SS2. Let us decide if the book is any good, mkay? I just thought it was kind of bad taste.
3. Did I mention that Daniel only wrote one chapter?

Anyway, I highly recommend it. Just understand that the chances are you are only buying it for one chapter, as 70% of the info in this book you have seen elsewhere time and time again.

Thank you for reading my review, I hope it was helpful.

Half Good Book

This is a long awaited tome from Daniel, and his part of the book is interesting and informative. The rest of the book is a randomly thrown together collection of innocuous filler. The publisher overexaggerates the value of this book to the extreme versus previously published literature like Super System and Harrington. If you buy this book, know you are doing for Daniel's small ball approach to poker only.

Good Stuff In Here

I've notice a lot of the complaints here are from players who seem to have read every other poker book, and there's nothing wrong with that, but one has to realize the more you read about a particular subject, the more 'recycled material' you are going to come across. Was this book perfect? Absolutely not. Did it have a lot of good information in it? Absolutely. I've read the Super System's, and a few other books, and didn't feel like everything I had read in PHS was just 'reahashed material'. As a matter of fact, I think it fits in well with the Super System's as a 'compliment' or extension.

mediocre

It's a mediocre book. I like Daniel very much but he gives no real insight in his mind...he advocates the weak-passive approach but doesn't explain deeply how to become a winning player with it. It's recommended if you think the only way to win is to be iperaggressive...otherwise buy Harrington books on cash games.

Really useful

I've found this book really useful. It made me a better poker player, but, as I was expecting, it didn't turn me into a pro. Now I understand the game and it's mechanics better though.

Daniel Negreanu - Power Hold'em Strategy

I thought this book was amazing. Its content, especially Negreanu's portion, is very similar to Doyle Brunson's No Limit Hold'Em advice in Super System. I believe this book and Super System will do more for people's game than any other books on the topic.
