Is the second addition of this book a newer version with the same information ? Or are these books complimentary ?

Assuming you meant second Edition, a 2nd editon is usually an updated version of the first edition. Can include the following: errors are corrected, existing theory and practice are updated, new theory is introduced, trends are identified, examples are expanded, index is added. etc. The longer the time between editions, the more changes there will likely be.

You'd have to look at the book or read reviews or marketing blurb to see if buying it is worthwhile. Of course, responses in this thread will be a good source.

I'll go out on a limb and guess you meant the 2nd book (the red one.) If that's what you meant, they are different books. The 2nd book builds directly on the foundation of the 1st book. I personally found the 2nd book to be more of what I was actually looking for (self-disciple, goals, learning, focus, etc.) since the 1st book deals mainly with tilt, fear, etc. (something that I had very few problems with.) Having said that, I don't think the 1st book should be skipped. I say this because even I found some minor tilt that I wasn't aware of before reading it (and I would have said before reading it that I don't tilt at all, which would've been wrong technically ... I just didn't tilt very much.) The author also says something like: the finer points within the 2nd book are things that become more difficult to improve on if you suffer from any problems that are covered in the 1st book (which is why he started there.)

If you really meant 2nd edition, then I just wasted some time out of all of our lives and it's as statmanhal said:
I haven't looked it up since the day I bought the book, so I'm not aware if there is a 2nd edition or not. I'm honestly too lazy to look it up now and it was just easier for me to type all of this.

I don't want to discourage you from asking questions, but simply looking at the table of contents would probably have answered your question either way. 2p2 can be pretty rude in some other parts of the forum.

I hope one of us answered your Q. GL.

p.s. If there is a 2nd edition, I'd appreciate you letting us lazy folks know.

There isn't a second edition. I looked at the books more closely after reading your post and its exactly as you described. The books seem to focus on different topics.

Indeed some people can be harsh. I expected some of that within a poker community. There's likely to be competition, ego and roll measuring.

They are two different books

Its builded on the first one with a lot of new concepts

The second book is seeking to find 'how good you can really be' at poker. The author states that he does not really know what you are doing during that process but that this doesn't really matter and if you hand him $30 for the book or $2000/day for some coaching he'll do a great job of telling you the best way to do that thing that he doesn't know that you're doing.
