Book Review
There is no need to introduce Johnny Chan. The ten WSOP bracelets holder is one of the best professional poker players in the world. A regular at TV shows such as Poker After Dark, he has been at the center of the poker scene for the past twenty years. In Million Dollar Hold'em Limit Cash Games, Johnny Chan reveals some of his secrets of profitable Fixed Limit Texas Holdem Poker. This is a very specialized book about Fixed Limit Holdem divided into ten sections. Million Dollar is a very practical poker book. Each section starts with a short theoretical summary of the key concepts presented, followed by many hand examples with commentaries. Each hand is explained in great detail street by street, with a nice graphical table representation that facilitates the understanding. Some of the interesting ideas in the book are open bet-bluffing from the blinds, how to play suited connectors or trash hands with the proper implied odds, aggressive play to take control of a hand, making tough folds & tough bets and mixing up your play. The mantra of the book is how to extract maximum value from a hand, and each hand is different.
