chgocubs99 0 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Which books would you recommend to read that aren't outdatedGreensteinThat's about it.You should read the Harrington books if you play tournaments though so you know how other people will play...a lot of the concepts in that book turned out to be fundamentally -EV though.Honestly just read P5's, 2+2, here, or join Cardrunners or PXF or something as opposed to spending money on books, the content is so much stronger.

Is this true? I thought this book was considered the gold standard on tournament play. Can you site any examples (other than the explanation of the squeeze play) that are fundamentally unsound in this book? I, and (I'm sure) many other players here would appreciate your insight.Thanks in advance,*L*T* Link to post Share on other sites

Though his advocation of "limping" seem to be in situations where overaggressiveness could put your tournament life at risk uneccessarily. I guess every situation is unique and requires "at that point" analysis. Learning everyday and thankful.*L*T* Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Wow the forum is really starting to lose my respect.You all know that the only poker book that anyone should read is Play Poker Like the ProsAll this misdirection to protect the 'secret' is not how a FRIENDLY poker forum should run.Now appoligize and max bet $.02/.$04 for 20 minutes every hand to atone for this horrible display of isolationinism Link to post Share on other sites
