Question Quick view into "Small Stakes holde'm", any advices?

Yesterday i get advice (ok ok that wasn't first one) to buy this ebook, so i done it.

Hmm... language is easy to understand for me and ebook is all about loose games what i probably will play some time.

I can't now get if there is point to read book "Internet Texas holdem Winning strategy from internet pro's" what i have started read and where it is talk about high stakes or middle stakes where all is TAG?
Or it is better just quit and start over later it and start read book about real situations where i will be into?

How times this book should be read? or it depends of understanding?

If any one have experience with this book, advices can be great.

Probably missed with first book choose XD

I'd stick with small stakes holdem. Lee Jones has a decent starter book for Limit holdem as well. Winning low limit holdem. I've read both and they're the best introduction to LHE books I know of.

Both books will teach you how to play in loose and passive games, but if you read them closely they'll teach you how to adjust to tighter more aggressive games too.

Re: Quick view into "Small Stakes holde'm", any advices?

There's one play in the book that I hardly ever use, from the "when you do not want overcalls" section. That play requires very specific circumstances that rarely come together in the right way.

Also, in the "cleaning up outs" section they talk about raising with draws to buy outs. If you're against passive players you shouldn't be reraising to buy Ace outs, because you'll so often be reverse dominated or drawing to 4 or less outs. It's when people are raising flops with one pair that you should be reraising to buy equity in big pots.

Besides that you should read the book over and over until you know it by heart. Then play 10k hands. Then read "Winning in Tough Hold'em Games" and play another 10k hands. When you think you've a hold on the concepts, I suggest "Theory of Poker" which will always be applicable to any game.

Finally, you should be aware that different player types exist at any stake game and that 2c/4c is a tough game if the wrong players are playing. You want bad players to your right and (if present) good players across the table or (slightly worse) to your left.

With regards to playing games, be it poker or chess .. then it is better to get playing rather than overreading.

Getting put to the chess starts your brain up, just reading and reading usually is just stale
