Editorial Review: Product Description: One of the ten greatest books written on poker, this must-have book should be in every player's library. If you're serious about winning, you'll realize that most of the profit comes from being able to read your opponents. Caro reveals the secrets of interpreting tells - physical reactions that reveal information about a player's cards - such as shrugs, sighs, shaky hands, eye contact, and many more. Learn when opponents are bluffing, when they aren't and why - based solely on their mannerisms. Over 170 photos of players in action and play-by-play examples show the actual tells. These powerful ideas will give you the decisive edge. 320 pages Average Rating:
 Rating:  - worthlessRecommended to me by a professional poker player in Las Vegas. I don't know what kind of chumps he plays against but my friends exhibit none of the behaviors described in this book. I tried his methods first game after finishing the book, lost my farm. I might have picked up one or two pearls that will help me against a really dumb player, but the clever ones show none of these weaknesses. Rating:  - Great Book.One of the best book on tells for begginers! And it has more complex tells in it also. I deffinately recommend reading this for any new/intermidate players that want to step up their 'reading' game! Rating: - Time Has Passed Caro ByMuch of the material in this book is dated. The concepts are good, but the situations are outdated. For example, there is a lot of focus on observing how people smoke their cigarettes. Since most poker rooms do not allow smoking today, there is little value to that material. Maybe the book can help you to focus on observing your opponents' behaviour. Rating: - Worth itBought as a gift, person loved it. Said it vastly improved their game, both online and off. Rating:  - outdatedIt's full of bad black and white photos that look like they were taken in the '70s with players in disco cloths and mustaches, and dealers with big bow ties that looked like they stepped off the Blade Runner set etc... not at all representative of 'what' you will see when you play. All kinds of tells concerning Stud poker and other games i don't play... The text reads like an 'Amway come-on speech'. There are a few interesting ideas but overall this book is poor.
