I purchased this book last week and I'm still reading but so far all this book talks about is the online poker environment, and how to start playing, controls ect. I guess vita a good book if you have never used an online poker site and are not very familiar with the computer. As far as strategies and such go this is not the book you want to be looking for. I give it 2 stars.
