BigDawgBuuck 0 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I can still not see how reading poker books would hurt you more than it helped. There's a quote from Amarillo Slim on one of the books I read saying how he wishes that this book would have been around 40 years ago for him, or something like that. I dont know if that was a sincere quote or not... Link to post Share on other sites

Hellmuth nearly breaks his arm patting himself on the back. My favorite one is when he says "It is hard to fold aces preflop, but I can do it. And I have been right EVERY single time because EVERY time I did my opponent had pocket aces." Wow, he can dodge bullets. And lie. Link to post Share on other sites
