My Review posted on Amazon:

First let me say I have read a ton of gambling books over the years including just about everything the author Frank Scoblete has written about all forms of casino gambling.
This book examines several variations of poker as played in the casino.
Naturally TEXAS HOLD EM is front and center with an in depth examination of the basics which soon builds to strategies for all aspects of the game and finishes with poker advice. This information would be valuable to the beginner or the experienced player.
I think that Mr. Scoblete has eliminated all the fluff and filler that often found in pokers books and provides the "must know" facts. If you are considering getting a book that just examines Hold Em, This would probably be a better more efficient choice.
The section on OMAHA was great as this is a fun game that can also be enjoyed in a home game. Following these strategies will make you a tough player. If you never played Omaha you will want to try it out after reading this.
Playing PAI GOW POKER with an advantage is great. If you follow this advice you can get a slight edge. If you add comp values to that you really have something going on. One word of caution there is an aspect of the strategy that removes the  communal experience of the game. But if you are playing to win this should not concern you much.
Advantage VIDEO POKER is explained with a careful analysis of the game, starting with identifying games that are beatable. If you are a beginner and have been afraid to tackle VP this section of the book is for you. Payback, Returns, Variance and Volatility start the section. If you are going to play this game you need to read this.
 
All in all I think this book is a must for your gambling book library
