gfdsa146 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'm considering buying the book, anybody here read it? Link to post Share on other sites
Flushgarden 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 What other books have you read?I dont think you should start with this if you haven't read any others...like the HOH series. Link to post Share on other sites
FourFlusher 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Two entirely different books...one does not supercede the other.Actually, I have two copies. One came with a bent cover, and the seller was kind enough to replace it.Ace is a good book, almost a coffee table type book. It's not a tutorial, per se. Link to post Share on other sites
psujohn 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 It's an excellent book but with virtually zero strategy type content. It's more about a poker mindset and what the life of a pro is like. Link to post Share on other sites
Flushgarden 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Two entirely different books...one does not supercede the other.I didnt mean specifically HOH, but Ace is more for established experienced players. He'd be better off reading some strat guides if he hasn't read any other poker books. Link to post Share on other sites

fleung22 1 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 OP, check out the book forum. You'll get plenty of feedback that's been previously written there. Link to post Share on other sites
pocket_change 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Great read, highly recommend it. Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicpb 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I highly recommend the book. I think it is great even for beginners since it gives a good insight into what it takes to be a poker pro. I prefer this type of book over a poker strategy book since most of those seem to take a very mechanical approach to poker. Link to post Share on other sites

Roberts2003 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 If you are looking for additional reading, look at Phil Hellmuth's Play Poker Like the Pros. It is eye opening and life changing. Link to post Share on other sites

acesup85 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 If you want a good poker mindset, read the section of Super System 2 that Mike Caro writes. It's a very good read, plus if you haven't read Doyle's take on NL, then you should. Link to post Share on other sites

FourFlusher 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Phil owes me seven bucks. I buy every damn poker book I see. The **** put that book out twice with different names. Link to post Share on other sites
orville 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 It's an excellent book but with virtually zero strategy type content. It's more about a poker mindset and what the life of a pro is like.Got it for Christmas two years ago. Had it read the same day. Not really about poker strategy. It's more about the life of being a pro and the pitfalls that can get you in trouble. It does have some sample hands, but it is more of a coffee table bookOrville Link to post Share on other sites
