Extremely Hard to Follow

The author uses Ad Kh Qs Jc to describe the cards, but the narrator doesn't say Ace of diamonds, King of hearts, Queen of spades, or Jack of clubs. He just reads the letters Ad, Kh, Qs, Jc. I bet there were illustrations in the book but the narrator doesn't tell you what comes out on each street. It sounds like AI is reading it to you. Don't waste your money or credits on this book.

Could not make out hands in audible form

This must have been automatically converted by computer as you cannot make out the hands being read. Might be very valuable as hands are explained well but without knowing what cards are held and what is on the board it is worthless. Hard to believe this was made in audible form.

The virtual voice is just too distracting.

it has some great knowledge but listening to something that goes 10s As and says tens as gets confusing by far. I think a human author would be saying this correctly as to not confused the reader. and if you are confused by this rightly so...

Terrible reading

Book read by computer. Hard to follow and visualize as poker abbreviations are miss interpreted. This ruins the content that I think could be good if easier to understand. Too much effort is on trying to figure out what is being said. 7h meaning 7 of hearts is read as 700. Flops are very hard to understand as are hero holdings preflop which makes book very difficult to follow in audio form. Surely the author has listened it hard to believe he would approve
