Byron Jacobs is a publisher and author specialising in games and leisure. As with many Poker players, his enthusiasm for games originates with chess, where he holds the title of international master and is the author of many popular chess books. He has now switched his attention to Poker and has become a successful on-line Limit Hold'em player. Jim Brier is well known to serious hold em players as the author (with Bob Ciaffone) of Middle Limit Hold'em, and also as a columnist for Card Player Magazine.

"...most of the advice in this book is simply of very high quality - which is exactly the reason why I have chosen to rate this book an 8 (out of 10)" Rolf "Ace" Slotboom "Jacobs book is well worth reading, especially recommend for aspiring mid limit players". 8 out of 10 Tristan Steiger, poker-soft.com "Not only is the advice and thought process consistently good, but he asks the right questions. He probes the key areas where people lose most of their money, and his scoring system reflects the fact that he knows these are the most important areas. I give it 10/10." Ed Miller, noted poker authority and best-selling author.
