Ugh....OK, let me clean this up and explain why this book is no good and is a must read.
"Reading Poker Tells" by Zachary Elwood explains much of what has already been written about......but tells you that you cant rely on any of the information. Why?, Because 99% of everything is situation and you need to think about it.
As an example; almost everyone will tell you that the guy who is shaking when he bets probably has the nuts and most of the time this will be correct. BUT.....a guy like myself becomes very calm the second I sit down at the table. My blood pressure gets very low....so, I get VERY cold at almost every poker room and I start to shake, no matter what my cards are, What about the guy that "thinks" he has the nuts because he has a K high flush on the flop?
"Reading Poker Tells" by Zachary Elwood, as I read it, teaches more about "think about it" then actual tells. Yet the book is loaded with potential tells.
When you compare "Reading Poker Tells" by Zachary Elwood to other books its "not good" because its not filled with excitement and hype. Its filled with with practical thinking about a given situation.
In fact, IMHO, if you read the "Tells" of Zach's writting you will see that he just does not feel the "other" books out there are practical for today's poker player and that some of the "other" books are just flat outdated.
"Reading Poker Tells" by Zachary Elwood IS NOT A GOOD BOOK.......It is a
must read (which means its better then good for those who did not get my "tells" in my earlier posts).
In the end, yes, I hope none of you read his book
