Who will benefit from Antonio Esfandiari’s In the Money?
Antonio Esfandiari’s In the Money reads more like an autobiographical work than a pure poker strategy guide. Poker players with a plenty of experience will not radically benefit from the poker strategy advice. The content focuses exclusively on playing and winning Texas Hold’em games, and as with any poker book, the advice dispensed is no guarantee of poker success. The only way to really improve your poker game significantly is with time and practice.
