Caro is primarily known as a teacher and a theorist, but beyond that--twice world poker champion Doyle Brunson calls him the best draw poker player alive. Most poker books focus on betting and how and when to play certain hands. Mike Caro's book is different because he focuses on how to use the opponents tells to your advantage. Obviously this book is not ideal for those who play solely online, but for everyone else this is a classic text need in everyones library. This book was first published 1983, since then, many things have happened in poker but most tells haven't changed, and that makes this book a very unique and interesting read. The "Book of Tells" is basically a guide to identifying and understanding the physical tells an opponent is prone to displaying at the poker table. As Mike himself puts it in "Caro's Great Law of Tells", players are either acting or they aren't. If they are acting, then decide what they want you to do and disappoint them. This book is an exciting and revealing read into the psychology involved in poker at the table. Back to Books Index |
