| Re: Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide: Tournament Edition
My view about poker books is that if I get one or two worthwhile nuggets, the book is worth the price. But then again, I love to read the poker books....(I have already most of this book twice.)
That said, this is definitely worth getting. Yes, the razz chapter may be weak (I found it amusing but am not good enough at razz to really evaluate it). And the stud (high) chapters are definitely weak (that said, I did get a couple of tips from them). But most of holdem stuff is very interesting, and it is nice that there is a dissenting view ("How not to play like Ted Forrest" by the man himself) to the standard views (Lederer and Ferguson mostly).
One other thing: Lederer has a chapter called "The Theory of Leverage" which he says has never really been discussed in poker literature. But it seems to me that he is talking about what Miller/Sklansky call the "hammer of future bets" in NLHE: Theory and Practice. It is slight different in TAP (for one thing, that book is about ring games), but it seems pretty similar to me. Anyone else (jojo? yeltzen? jim2k?) have any comments on this?  |
