roadhawg 0 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 i havent read any bad books yet because i researd it a lot before buying, but from what i have read the doyle online book seems to be pretty weak. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 0 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Phil Hellmuth's book isn't all that great IMO. Neither is Mike Sexton's.In terms of the weakest, I'll say Ken Warren Teaches Texas Hold 'Em as being unbearable in terms of sitting through it. Can't stand it. Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Dog 1 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Harrington on Hold Em is terrible. Do not read it, especially if you play low to mid-limit tournaments mainly on PokerStars, where I usually play, on weekdays, when I usually play. Link to post Share on other sites

Outdated and pretty useless.Well TJ considers anything written by Sklansky to be complete garbage...that should be all you need to know about TJ. Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Well TJ considers anything written by Sklansky to be complete garbage...that should be all you need to know about TJ.Well i'm not a big Sklansky follower myself, but that's a pretty absurd statment regardless. Obviously he advocates a pretty specific strategy, but it's not like it doesn't work, lol. I just prefer to take the best of Sklansky and mix it with other opinions as well.

arpinology 0 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 i actually bought this book at a discount bookstore. Andy Nelson's POKER. yeah, its like 150 pages long and there is about 20 pages of fair strategy...and there was some good discussion about 2-7 lowball. the author chose to talk more about collusion and being nice at home games than actually playing.i paid 4 bucks; i wasnt expecting a masterpiece. oh yeah, its from 1996 too. there was actually a small discussion of some poker software that mike caro put out which semi-interested me but i never bothered to look it up.
