i'm probably like many people. i bot tons and tons of poker books during the boom and didn't read too many thoroughly. but i learnt alot from them.

anyway, was moving books the other day and saw one of rolf slotboom's plo books.

so i started rereading it and it is very good. he's a great writer and his advice seems really good.

he also explains short stack PLO very well.... basically you are often making 4 to 5x your investment and getting protection from players with much bigger stacks. rolf is talking about B&M and i really agree. my local B&M PLO table is still loose unlike my local NLHE tables.

surprised me that book is this good as i seemed to recall rolf being a bit of a "i reraised with 29o, the flop came 992 and i won two deep stacks".... maybe that's a bit more another author. initials AL. largely forgotten.

anyway, rolf is a very good author. i don't have the book in front of me. might be "secrets of professional PLO"

I think you have the title right if my memory is correct.

I was wondering the same thing lately lol.
Tho it was for drawing hands in limit hold em.
Anyone ever red it ?
Thx

Hold'em on the Come: Limit Hold'Em Strategy For Drawing Hands
rolf slotboom

wish some reviews about it

Hi Montrealcorp:

I did a review of this book about eight years ago and here it is.

Best wishes,
Mason

Hold’em on the Come: Limit Hold’em Strategy for Drawing Hands by (4) Rolf Slotboom and Dew Mason. There’s really nothing wrong with this book which is mostly written by the second author listed with some comments interspersed by the first author. On the other hand, it has very little value. It’s a discussion in extreme detail of exactly how many outs you really have with a drawing hand and exactly how big the pot needs to be to play. In almost all cases none of this information is necessary. In limit poker, if your strategy is to always play if you have 6 or more outs, to play in large pots if you have four outs, and to require extremely large pots if you have two outs, you’ll be playing just about right. Knowing that instead of having 8 outs you only really have 7¼ outs because one of your outs may be somewhat tainted is fairly worthless to your overall strategy. So unless you’re someone who just wants to read poker books, this is one that can be skipped.

There is also a funny quirk with this text which I’ll mention here. By my count, Slotboom’s picture appears twelve times in the text, yet no picture of Mason ever appears. In addition, at the very beginning of the book, there is an endorsement page with quotes from five well known poker people. Each one of these praises Slotboom while only one of them even mentions Mason. Yet Dew Mason (if that’s even his real name) is the one who wrote the main text.

Ty very much!
