Chris 0 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I saw it in my bookstore today, but they always have their books wrapped in cellophane so that people don't muck them up, so I couldn't open it.Is it worth getting? The Chip Tricks DVD intrigued me. Link to post Share on other sites

luckybeans 0 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I just finished reading it and really liked it. Antonio gives great advice on no limit and points out all of the subtle (and not so subtle) differences between limit and no limit. Plus he weaves a lot of examples and some really funny stories throughout. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 0 Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Plus he weaves a lot of examples and some really funny stories throughout.Now that'd what I would love to read. I love poker stories so much. Maybe I'll pick this up. Link to post Share on other sites
cubbybri 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I was at book store today and read a bit of it. Was enjoyable read. I'm unsure it will drastically change the way the game is played but it was smart and the stories were entertaining as well. Wasn't a big fan of the guy but he seems to know what he's talking about. I'll probably add it to my collection at some point. Good job Antonio, between the book and how you've played on high stakes I may now be a fan. Link to post Share on other sites
UNCpoker 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Pretty good book, I would recommend it if you are a NL cash game player. IT does give a few tips that will help your game that aren't in NL tourney books. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 It's one of the few NLHE cash game books out there. I read the whole thing in the bookstore the other day. It was a lot better than I expected for a "WPT" book. While he repeated himself a bit on a few points, I felt that overall, the points were good and the stories were entertaining.

HangukMiguk 8 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 seriously? esfandiari put out something worth reading?i might actually have to pick this up then...after i swallow my pride though. Link to post Share on other sites
UNCpoker 0 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Yep, it was surprising that is had some good points for a WPT that weren't already done 100 times over. I do think that you can get a few points that will help anybody in NL cash games. I had been strictly NL tourneys and some limit/spread for my cash games. I had only played NL cash games about 10 times, but after my last trip to Reno, I really wanted to start playing them more. His book definately helped me with a few problems of things that happened to me in my previous NL cash games. Link to post Share on other sites
Moneyball16 0 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I would not have even thought of picking this book up, but after hearing that it is rocks and rings, I think I might.Seriously I have been looking for a good NL cash game book. Link to post Share on other sites

Chris 0 Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 My friend just purchased this for me for my birthday a few days ago. I'm still finishing up S/S2 and HOH2, so I'll start it after. Link to post Share on other sites
HangukMiguk 8 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Yep I may seriously have to cave and buy this book soon.I'm a horrible NL Ring player. Maybe this cound change that. Link to post Share on other sites
UNCpoker 0 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I look at it this way, if a book can help you with one single thing in your game, it's worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
