quickstilz 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Very technical and indepth. Link to post Share on other sites
wrto4556 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 It's the final piece. TOP, SSHE, and HEPFAP are the bomb...although HEPFAP should be called Hold'em Poker AGAINST Advanced Players... Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Small stakes hold 'em, Hold 'em for advanced players, and the theory of Poker are the three best poker books I've ever read. Period. If you play low limit, HEFAP won't really help taht much.. but.. it will help you think different about the game, which will help immensly.. I love David's books. Link to post Share on other sites
JaysonWeber 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 It's the final piece. TOP, SSHE, and HEPFAP are the bomb...although HEPFAP should be called Hold'em Poker AGAINST Advanced Players...I made the mistake of buying HEFAP before TOP and SSHE, Right after HEFBP and SS... I read it and learned I knew NOTHING when it came to indepth poker. really a great book, but buy TOP and SSHE before it. Link to post Share on other sites
DCWildcat 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 My first book was hold em for advanced players, followed by super system. A terrible, terrible mistake. I needed SSHE. It's very technical, very boring, and a lot tighter than SSHE (tighter than I could play). Basically what you'd expect it to be. Link to post Share on other sites
Rebecca 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I made the mistake of buying HEFAP before TOP and SSHE, Right after HEFBP and SS... I read it and learned I knew NOTHING when it came to indepth poker. really a great book, but buy TOP and SSHE before it.Exactly what I did.There are things in there that seemed simple on the surface, but now I know I didn't really "get" them. I'm still not ready for HEFAP, I think.Still working on TOP....brain hurts...owww. Link to post Share on other sites
custom36 4 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I'm a profitable player and plan on getting SSHE and then, eventually, HUFAP. Should I invest in TOP or is that more of a beginner's book? Link to post Share on other sites
wrto4556 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 TOP is deinately not a beginners book. It's a work of art, imo. Link to post Share on other sites
NickTheKid 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Thanks for all the replies!What kind of stuff does HFAP cover? Link to post Share on other sites
JimD82 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Thanks for all the replies!What kind of stuff does HFAP cover?Basically it discusses a concepts and strategies that would be a waste of time against retarded players, but allow you to dominate those competent players with a basic understanding of the game. When playing low-limit games I essentially use a SSHE model but I will apply some of the things I learned in HFAP when I'm in headsup situations against decent players. It has proven very effective thus far. The book also re-states some important things that it doesn't hurt to hear/read again and again. Link to post Share on other sites
