About the Author
Ed Miller grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana. He received an S.B. in Physics and another in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from MIT in 2000. After a year teaching, he moved to Redmond, Washington to work as a software developer for Microsoft.
Looking for a new hobby, he deposited a couple hundred dollars in November 2001 to play $1-$2 and $2-$4 hold 'em online. After losing his initial stake, he sought to improve his game, and he found the books and website of Two Plus Two Publishing LLC. He participated in discussions on the forums at Twoplustwo.com, and after a few months he turned his losses into wins in a $4-$8 game at a local cardroom.
By January 2003, he had moved up to $10-$20 and $20-$40, and in March he left his job to play poker full-time. By then he had swapped roles on the online discussion forums from beginning player seeking advice to expert player giving it. After six more successful months playing in the Seattle area, he moved to Las Vegas, where he currently resides. Also in 2003, Dr. Alan Schoonmaker, the author of The Psychology of Poker, introduced Ed to David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth, and a partnership soon was born.
Today Ed usually plays between $10-$20 and $30-$60, but he can occasionally still be found in the $2-$4 to $6-$12 games around Las Vegas.

The Beginner's Hold'em Book You Want!
By Daniel Welker
Today is June 1st of 2009, so i have a solid two months of hold'em experience behind me! Just wanted to play pool, but they finally got me off the bar stool into a game of hold'em at Johnny's Bar. I was hooked by the very first game which of course, i lost. At the bar, i would ask one of the old timers for advice, which was typically "play every ace" or "play every A,K,Q,J" or even "play every hand to the flop, any hand can win". We even have a kid (relative to my age) who is in fact a professional hold'em dealer at a local South Florida casino who advised me that a hand being suited doesn't add much value to the hand, so an Ace-7 off-suit is just as playable as an Ace-7 suited. I believed him, that is until i read "Hand Five - Two Off The Button", "Are You Suited?" wherein we learn that being suited is a SIGNIFICANT advantage!
Don't listen to card dealers, their game generally stinks because their knowledge of poker theory is non-existent. The old timers mean well, but they only know what they know, as they have never read a single book on hold'em. Just trust me on this one.
Now my hold'em library presently holds 17 books from amazon.com and I have perused at least one chapter from each, but the 1 book that has done me the greatest good for my budding hold'em side income career would be Ed Miller's "Getting Started in Hold'em". Ed presents the fundamental theories of poker in such a clear way as to be accessible to the beginning adult player. And that's what i like the most about Ed.
He does not talk down, nor dangerously oversimplify, towards the beginner. He tells you what you fundamentally need to know with straight talk,(if books could talk) no nonsense prose. I used to struggle with pre-flop hand selection, but after reading just one single previously mentioned chapter, i can now go into battle knowing that the "ONLY profitable unsuited and unpaired hands to play are AK,AQ,AJ,KQ and in favorable situations AT and KJ." However! "If someone raises in front of you, the situation is very unfavorable, and you should play only AK."
Well that simplifies things a whole bunch! Now we now know how to manage an entire class of hands, namely the unsuited and unpaired class.
We play only those unpaired, unsuited hands that Ed advises and anything else in this class can be considered an unprofitable hand, so we fold.
So here is my "University Of Texas Hold'em" class schedule:
Read Chapter 1 of "Getting Started" Ed Miller, a noted poker authority.
Read Chapter 1 of "No Limit Hold'em Theory and Practice" Miller/Sklansky
Read Chapter 1 of "Harrington on Cash Games Volume 1" Dan Harrington
"Read chapter 1" means means read & meditate upon the idea(s) presented.
Then, go online with play money and practice the concept(s) that you are learning. I like to spend the entire day contemplating a single chapter.
I also find it helpful and sometimes necessary to draw a large oval (the table) on a sheet of paper and place a circle around the "D","SB","BB" and create a circle (seat) for all the other players as well. Then place an "X" inside the circle for those that have folded and other info above each seat as needed to designate the action, such as "call $1", and so on. This way, you can easily resume the action that you will have entirely forgotten after Ed has finished coaching you on your hand! "and so you raise..."
The next day, go to the 2nd book (Theory & Practice) and do the same.
The third day is spent with Dan Harrington, another marvel of clarity.
Now i repeat this "round robin" for chapter 2 of each book.
This just works well for me, but if you prefer the traditional "cover to cover" method, then stay with that.
Conclusion: Ed Miller's Getting Started in Hold'em is the most excellent beginner's book available. I love this book for both the clarity and depth of content. Heck, just reading any one chapter of this book will make you a better player! I plan to re-read this book once a year to stay grounded with fundamental theory. Thanks Ed! Fantastic book!
Observation: Many people think that they are advanced amateurs at poker,
and many that think this have never read a book on hold'em! Amazing!
I would venture that there are 9 levels, namely: Beginning Beginner, Intermediate Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Beginning Amateur, Intermediate Amateur, Advanced Amateur (sounds like band class! Yes?) and finally Beginning Professional, Intermediate Pro & Advanced Pro's such as Ed Miller, Dan Harrington & Daniel Negreanu and pretty much anyone that makes it to the "Final Table" or those whose names we don't know, but can earn a decent side income playing cash games.
If those of us whom are in fact beginners would like to become intermediate beginners, and then advanced beginners, then Ed Miller is the answer!
