Concepts That Make You Say Wow


Recommended Posts

What are some concepts or strategies from books, conversations, articles, etc. that have just made you completely rethink your game. For me, it's Hold'em Poker For Advanced Players by Sklansky. I'm only half way through, and it's amazing. HOH is another incredibly influential book. DNs articles and a few others in the cardplayer archives have also helped me improve.

phil gordons little blue book....he has some interesting hands to think about like shoving all in in multi way pots with open ended straight flush draws and such...you just gotta think about cash game strategy and getting it all in even if ur a slight fav because 1 you might have some fold equity and 2 in the long run being a slight fav makes u a big winner

Microsoft Vista.All kidding aside, though, I would have to say that Sklansky's SSHE did that for me.
Funny thing is, I purchased HOld'em For Advanced Players (which I am not) at borders.com thinking I was getting SSHE. I still plan on buying SSHE.Even though I am currently playing small stakes, this Advanced Book has helped my game tremendously. I would say the biggest improvement so far after reading half the book has been my preflop game. I've never been a loose player, and I've never been a maniac. I've always found a happy medium. My big leak was I was playing the wrong hands at the wrong time.

Morton's Theorem, which I believe was posted first to rec.gambling.poker.
