I recently picked this book up and have been sifting through it whilst meant to be working. ♦
I thought id write a short review of it.
The book is a compilation of hands played in different situations such as, Cash Games, Tourneys (Early, Middle and Late play), final tables, sit & go's and satellites.
Each hand is evaluated methodically and in just enough detail to give you the full picture but not bore you. A very good read and has to improve your game if you absorb the info provided, certain things he goes through will really help you.
A breif example hand from the book;
(Theres a graphic of the table with basic descriptions of reads from players)
Pocket Aces, i stop surfing the web immediately and give the hand my full attention, of course. Pocket Rockets and they couldnt come at a better time.
What would you do?.
From middle position ill open with a standard raise. I raise to $480, 3 times the big blind. Im mildly disappointed when everyone folds, until DownLowe in the small blind opts to call. Theres $1120 in the pot.
- The Flop - 2h Ts 6d
DownLowe checks to me.
I do not like to slowplay in this situation. I seriously doubt shes called me with anything that has straight potential here, but theres a flush draw out there and i dont have the Ah. Im going to bet. THe only question is how much?. What would you do?.
I bet the pot. I dont think the size of the bet ($1120) with scare her into folding a pair of tens and shes going to have to think long and hard before calling with a flush draw.
DownLowe takes her time then calls. The pot is $3360.
When i bet and a good player calls i start to sweat.
The Turn - Kh
Thats an ugly card for me....(phil explains his thought process and why he only checks after downLowe Checks to him).
for the rest buy the book 
im tired of typing.
After every hand he provides a key analysis in this case;
When a scare card hits the turn, its often okay to relinquish the lead to your opponent. And do your best not to go broke with one pair!.
