Anyone want to offer me some feedback about this publication? Picked any random strat book and this was it. What should I absorb, what should I avoid? Feed back much appreciated. I am mainly a HU NL player, also play sngs and mtts. Stay away from cash. TAG, but will adapt from time to time if I feel I'm swimmimg around with sharks.

I own the book, but haven't got around to reading it yet. However, here is a link to a previous review if you are interested:

some didn't like it but i did.... seems like what the market needs more of. experienced player (debatable how good), great connections, excellent writer writing about new more aggressive NL and new popular omaha

Worth the price just for the PLO section.

Rest of it, meh.

Lot's of bad advice in the book tbh, at least in the NLH section. Not much of PLO player so I can't really say much about that part. The NLH section was detrimental to my game, not helpful in any way.

So, it's probably very good then; if anything is good according to you, it probably isn't, and vice versa.

I read most of it and I thought it did a good job of introducing the elements of "NLH 2.0", just as his green book did a good job of introducing the more basic concepts 5 or 6 years ago. I think this is a pretty helpful tool for beginners or even "oldschool" live players who haven't really kept up with the changing trends. Theres also graphs and a lingo section to kind of help. I'd recommend it.

Please give an example of your alleged bad advice.......

+1... just a couple of examples would suffice for me..... a fair number of typos i think though

It always fascinates me when some poster comes into the thread and claims that of book has a lot of bad advice in a number of errors but supports it with no examples.

I have 3 theories about these posters...

One they just trying to build their post count

Two their trolling

Three their disciples of a particular style of play and it's the only style that's ever correct in their own mind.

honey badger, i was agreeing with u (although there are a fair number of typos NOT logical errors).

i fairness, i didn't document the typos so i'd have to readthe whole book to find them again. i think bad logical advice would be easier to remember

His little green book was the first I had ever read so I have been a fan of Phil ever since. I will say that the 3 sections he didn't write were by far the best though. Obrestad, Cates, and Galfonds sections are worth reading it imo. You can spend $20 on a book and if you profit $20 dollars from just one thing you learned this it should be seen as a good investment.

I know you were. I was commenting on the type of poster like Davion67 with the two figure post count that says a book is bad with really no supporting reason never to be seen in the thread again.

I didn't buy the book but skimmed through it at the store. IIRC, Jungleman recommended to fold the bottom 20% of hands only preflop when facing a 3-bet. Many will spew if they don't know what to do with their junk hands post-flop.

This is an excellent point especially if you are out of position.
