However, your "not that dry to read what I am afraid of" makes me think you are not a "maths player" and therefore will not completely benefit from the book as the best parts require quite a lot of maths work away from the table. My recommendation would be either to start with an easier book (Poker Math That Matters has a good reputation here but I have never read it as I was good at maths before playing poker), or go for non maths books: you seem to be a player with a good poker intuition, which means you do the maths intuitively, and may benefit from advanced books low on poker maths but strong on solid reasonning. The Intelligent Poker Player is excellent at giving a framework. It is a little like The Mathematics of Poker without the maths. Very different and very practical, Domination No limit Hold'em is a very good book of a former high stakes who approaches poker the same way as you do; you will benefit from this one too. Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Dont get me worng....its not like I have no idea about maths i watched a Series called Mathematics of NL holdem (wiltontillt) 2*times i know when its +ev to call against certain ranges, i know how to calculate ho much foldequity i need for my bluffs.....I am just not that good at it and I want2improve.
So in the book is a lot of maths? I think its better to improve other aspects on my game with videos on dc or cr cause there is always new actual stuff. But mathwise i prefer a book!
My goal is that I see my edge better at 6max, I want2know more about maths for example in 3 barreling spots or how often i can steal to show profit against certain player types to show profit!
I hope this doesnt sound ******ed and you get it my english is not that perfekt...
