Caro's Book of Poker Tells
By Mike Caro
Community Rating: 4.0

Once you've mastered the basic elements of a winning poker formula, psychology becomes the key ingredient in separating break-even players from players who win consistenly. The most profitable kind of poker psychology is the ability of read your opponents. This is exactly what will be shown in this book.

Mike "Mad Genius" Caro is a professional poker player, pioneer poker theorist, and author of poker books. He acts as a consultant to many casinos, providing odds, and he helped develop the Poker Probe, the first serious commercial PC program for analyzing poker situations. He is the founder of the Mike Caro University of Poker, Gambling and Life Strategy, the world's first permanent poker school. He was one of the few people who believed in the 1990s that real money online poker would not only work (most people said it would not) but also that it would eventually eclipse face-to-face casino poker.

Summary Review

This book is a great read for beginners, easy-to-read, entertaining while being very useful. If you are at the level of knowing folding weak hands, this book further teaches you how to sensing your opponent's weakness. Caro presents every idea in a straigt forward manner that makes this book very easy to read. If you are not a professional player, play poker fairly well, and would like to improve your game further, get this book.

Mar 22, 2008 bob This is a pretty entertaining book, but it comes down to one principle: weak means strong, strong means weak (something like that, you know what i mean, it's been a while since I read the book). If your opponent acts strong, he has a weak hand and vice versa.
