I am just now picking up Texas Hold em even though I played for several years using my own intuitions and lost a bundle. This book has made the game much easier to play for me because now I have excellent guiding principles. Burton's style of writing is to the point and he sprinkles a lot of personal anecdotes in the book that really help us to get a feel for the game.
