About Lou Kreiger

Lou Krieger has come a long way in the Poker world. The host of Royal Vegas Poker and co-author of Poker for Dummies, Lou Krieger has also written 8 best-selling books and more than 400 columns & magazine articles of poker strategy. Catch Lou's views, opinions and commentary on just about everything in the world of poker. You can also listen to him every Thursday evening at 9:00 PM EST on www.holdemradio.com, where he and Amy Calistri co-host the radio show, "Keep Flopping Aces".

"In poker - as in so many other disciplines - there are great "players" and then there are great "teachers." Lou Krieger is both. Trust me. His appreciation for the intricacies of poker are obvious. He's one of the few writers who incorporates both good card sense and comprehensive situational analysis in his writing. Reading Lou's advice is like getting painting lessons from Rembrandt or being taught the violin by Stradivarius."

From Poker Magazine about the book:

"Have you seen all of the poker books at Barnes and Noble, Borders, Waldenbooks or any other large bookstore? Five years ago there were three. Now there are nearly 80. Can any new book really add anything to the voluminous poker literature that fills the shelves?

After reading Lou Krieger and Sheree Bykofsky's new text, the answer is an enthusiastic YES!"

"...the book is a powerful tool for any player looking to learn the basic concepts for winning play and for every player who wants an edge over his opponent.

The true test of the usefulness of a poker book is how it will add to the reader's bottom line. There's no question but that Secrets will help the beginning, intermediate, and advanced player make more money (and for the most careful reader, much more money) at the poker table."
