getting started in hold'em: turned me down a notch

[RoyalLance 0]

I read Getting Started in Hold'em by Ed Miller mainly to learn limit hold'em but it also has a No-Limit section, too.I read the advice it has for SNG's and I think it has harmed my style. I lost my whole month's earnings after reading it. I have been doing good for the past few months with an aggressive stlye I developed after reading the Harrington series. I it has wiped out months of studying and experience.I'm not saying that Getting Started in Hold'em sucks. It's just more of a beginner's book, and I consider myself beyond the begginer's stage, at least when it comes to No-Limit SNG's. The Harrington on Hold'em series, however, provides strategy that almost everyone here can follow, even if watching ESPN and Bravo are your only experience in Hold'em.So, if you are a complete beginner in either form of Hold'em, I would recommend Getting Started in Hold'em. If you do good well in both forms, however, skip it.
