mpethybridge [who hasn't posted on 2+2 since Nov2014] is quoted in this post of his: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/17...poker-1171438/ "If you haven't read “The Psychology of Poker,” by Alan Schoonamaker a half dozen times, then you have a major leak in your game."

Do you believe this to be true? Please post a comment if you vote. Thanks.

When I first read it years ago, my mental game was real sharp. I almost never tilted, quit the games appropriately, didn't let ego get in the way, etc... I felt that it just reinforced a lot of the things I was already doing. A few years later, my mental game really took a nosedive (run bad, led to play bad), and reading it again really helped to get things in line. I would highly recommend this book, and to peek back at it from time to time as you feel you need it.

The stuff Mike Caro writes is just as good.
