Excellent book

Revisado: 03-05-22

I am fairly politically centered, leaning a bit to the right. I was a little hesitant to start this book, but the reviews lead me to believe that I should give it a shot, so I did. I am very glad, as it is an excellent first hand account of the major events of President Obama’s campaign and first 2 years in office. I felt like I was there, feeling the weight of the office with every retelling of Obama’s decisions. This book has honestly opened up for me a new empathy for others that I did not know was in me. I recommend this book to all, regardless of political ideology.

Hard book to follow

Revisado: 01-04-20

This book may have some value in printed form, but it is extremely hard to follow in the audio version. Charts and graphs are read in a manner that make them difficult to understand, terminology used is not common terminology (for example, the flop is often referred to as the failure, and a hands are read weirdly - like “sixty seven fit”...which I assume means 67s, but still not sure) and the narrator gives the impression of not really understanding the topic (although I will say that the narrator’s voice and tone are well presented).

Some of the odd terminology may be common to others, but it was mostly foreign to me. It’s not difficult to interpret, but it makes for a cumbersome experience.

Lastly, the title’s promise of poker math and strategy is a bit misleading....there is not a whole lot of math discussion beyond pointing out that there are mathematical concepts that could be applied. Perhaps the last hour (which is the portion of the book that remained after I chose to stop listening) delves into it more, but I doubt it.

I have enjoyed quite a few audio books on poker, with some being better than others. However, I mostly enjoy all of them and get something out of them. This one, on the other hand, did nothing for me. It was so hard to listen to, I chose not to finish it.

Others may get value from it, but I would not hesitate to recommend choosing to listen to other poker books, while skipping this one entirely.
