I can’t imagine that a more comprehensive book on the subject of GTO will ever be written. This is it, the buck stops here; Modern Poker Theory is the final stop on the route. The book’s mastermind Michael Acevedo has arrived and he is taking us along for the ride, so strap on your seat belts and get ready to learn a LOT about poker! -- Shannon Mack ― CardPlayerLifestyle.com

And like many readers, I agree that it will require several readings to be able to get everything out of this book.My complaint is that careful reading points out many places where the book is sloppy in it's construction. As discussion gets to play on the flop and turn, Acevedo presents diagrams showing strategies for types of boards. Usually with raise/call/fold ratios for each of ten holdings. In about 80% of these diagrams, only five of the strategies are labeled. So, once you take a close look, the diagram doesn't support you.There are a couple of errors in equations, and his effort to describe odds and percentages is a real hash. Most people coming at this book will probably already understand that stuff and just gloss over his muddied explanation.The real gold in this book is the GTO theory and it is generally done well. (Why I'm keeping my 5-star rating).There is still room for more books on this topic. There are times where Acevedo seems to distance himself from some of the strategies ("the solver likes to do ..."). The next iteration of a book like this will help the reader understand why the solver made some of its choices.Finally, this book isn't for the casual player. It's a book for the kind of player that spends time away from the table studying the game and reflecting on their own play.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best poker book I've read!
To start off this is the most helpful poker book I have read so far! Thank you to Michael Acevedo and Jonathan Little from Pokercoaching.com for writing this master piece! I am a amateur poker player still studying and learning the game and this book has moved my game to the next level! It answered so many questions that I had that were not answered in other tournament poker books I've read so far. It lays out so many scenarios and offers what the best play to do in certain spots and a great reasoning behind the theory. I never bluffed very much before I read this book, I was afraid to because I didn't know when to do it properly. And I also didn't understand when I should C-Bet and what sizes are best to use on certain flops from in position and out of position. No I bluff quite a bit more and rarely get called because I'm pick the right spots to do it in based on reading my opponents range and board composition. I'm cashing so much more in tournaments now and when I don't cash I usually am still in the top 25% of players close to the money. I'm not a math expert either and I still got a huge amount of valuable information from this book so don't be intimidate by the comments saying its very complex math and hard to understand. They do have very complex calculus equations that are over my head but I still got more value from this book then any other I've read. If you have not read it and your serious about improving your skills in poker this is a must read!
4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, not for beginners
The book is a bit dense on the math, and assumes calculations that are near impossible to be done at the table and requires lots of previous knowledge to even start reading. It is very helpful for mid-advanced poker players who want to improve their game.
5.0 out of 5 stars Don't play well, run them over
The best way to win a lot of money at poker is to exploit your opponents' mistakes, the times when they depart from theoretically correct (GTO, or game theory optimal) play. To do that, you have to know what our current understanding of correct GTO play is. Which rests greatly on computer simulations by so-called “solvers” that provide the correct answer but can’t explain why it’s right. If you ignore the why and the details of how and approximate the gist of what the solvers say, you will do very well in most games. Jonathan Little develops an excellent and easy to follow rough GTO approximation in his recent Secrets of Profession Tournament Poker.But to have a chance against the top pros themselves, you have to get down into the nitty gritty of analyzing hand ranges and boards in exquisite detail across entire hands. For learning how to do that, Avecedo’s book is widely regarded in the poker community as indispensable. Yes, it could use a good editing. And yes, it mostly concerns tournament situations, which are often easier to model than deep stacked cash games. But no matter what type of game you play, it will teach you to think like a modern poker expert and run over most opponents and games. What more could a player ask?
5.0 out of 5 stars The Next Authoritative Textbook on Poker
I've read countless poker books. Some of my all time favorites include:- Applications of No Limit Holde'm- Mathematics of Poker- The Grinder's ManualThis book takes all of those to an entirely new level. It takes you from end to end in order to help you build a theoretically sound strategy. It systematically breaks down every conceivable post flop line and gives you solver-backed frequencies that you can use to build solid ranges. Furthermore, it gives you the conceptual tools to classify your opponent's range and form a strategy based upon each situation. If you read this book, there should be very few hands you ever come across where you genuinely have no idea what the correct line to take is.Obviously, a book like this is only the beginning. In fact, I would highly advise following this book up with further study in Snowie or PIO or GTO+ or an appropriate solver. Some people complain about this book being too theoretical but I think it is important to emphasize that Poker IS a theoretical and mathematical game.You won't get very far in this game without having some understanding of mathematics, and at a very minimum the ability to conceptualize probabilities and statistics and to be able to think conditionally.

However its very obvious that this book was preowned. Dodgey seller. No complaints on the context of the book. Relatively easy read on gto poker.

現代ポーカー最高の理論書ということですが、同時に、ポーカーを題材にした「ゲーム理論」最高の入門書の一つでもあると思います。前提知識は数学は高校文系数学程度（もっと言えばほぼほぼ四則計算、あとは確率の初歩と若干の初等関数の概念が分かっていればお釣りが来ます）、ポーカーはポーカー教室(ポーカー侍)のホールデムの章程度の知識と若干のゲーム経験があれば、英語も平易かつクリアでポーカーの基礎から順を追ってロジックを組み立てていますので、推薦図書としては概ね上級者向けとされていますが、ぶっちゃけ初心者向けから順に読んでいくとえらい遠回りな気もしますので、早い段階で、前提に問題のない(そして座学に削ぐ時間が限られている)オトナはこの本から入る(基本書にする)のも十分にアリかと思います。完璧な本など存在しないという前提で言うなら、個人的には一番シックリ来るポーカー本でした。
