I am just starting out in poker but even I know this is a straight flush which beats a full house. Has anyone read her Material. Should I keep on reading this.
Never heard of her but a quick search on Amazon suggests she's the author of various fine titles on how to win at horse racing and how to beat the casino. Rather suggests she's (a) no poker expert; and (b) not writing about anything that will help anyone. The error you found could be an editing error but in the circumstances might just betray the quality of the book.
Ask in the Books and Publications forum for some recommended books (explain a bit about what sort of poker you want to learn to play and whether it's live or online). And see whether they've heard of this author. My sense is that her "poker books" aren't really poker books.
