if this is an advanced guide, perhaps someone can enlighten me wherein its advancement consists?
Basically, this is a coffee table book for lack-wits (said lackwits wishing to impress upon their friends that, although they’ve lost their wherewithals, the governance of their children, and the love of their spouse to a poker-playing lunacy, it’s valid, cuz this here glossy portrait and many, many pictures says it is).
Tripe.

Sklansky & Harrington don’t play any limit
where the blinds are higher than $300.
Barry Greenstein plays at games where the
blinds alone $10,000. (this game could easily
have half a million dollar fluctuation in a day.)
Barry thinks about the game at a much higher
level than Harrington and Sklansky.
At the highest level the game is all about
psychology and having proper attitude.
This book reveals that information.
Initially the book was intended for players who
play at $400-$800 limit but want to move up to
$4000-$8000 level and higher.
If you are low limit player you can’t appreciate
or comprehend many of the things said in this book.

Interesting story. Good for advanced players as far as fine points are concerned. Not a lot of beginning player systems. Both novices and veterans can benefit from advice on ethics.

Barry sole purpose on writting this book was to cash in on the poker popularity. If you desire a poker book that will enlighten you and teach you to play better poker, pick up Super System, or anything written by Harrington or Sklansky. Phil Gordon’s Little Green Book is a much better book on poker than Greenstein’s book. Don’t bother putting any blind money into this book…this is truly a Dead Money Book.

Gives a whole bunch of self serving hype but very little in the way of “advanced poker guide”…
