| So... now that I'm being forced to defend my crown in a game I've only ever watched on TV, I'm going to have to start reading up. Any opinions as to whether I should by TJ Cloutier's Championship No Limit & Pot Limit Hold 'Em or should I get Sklansky's Hold 'Em for Advanced Players. Or something else (I will eventually get both but I need a jumping off point. And I already have Super/System). You are now free to discuss. Beigs | ||

| TJ's book is my favorite by a large margin. | ||

| Go to UB and play some $5+0.50 games with strangers for a while. The competition is really soft and you can get a good feel for the game. | ||

| Hey beigs, I think Robert Varkyoni's poker coach is available... at a discount. They are both good books. I also highly recommend Middle Limit Holdem Poker by Bob Ciaffone. It will improve your all around game and make you think of hold em a whole different way. | ||

| You think RV's coach can make it to NY in time? I doubt I could learn plays for every situation by the tournament, though. on 11.

| Did wonders for RV. I wonder why ESPN went ahead and ran all that crap about the guy ...... then showed him dump out early. Could have saved him a little grief by not showing the coaching spot. on 11. Jul 2003 11:11 beigs wrote: > > You think RV's coach can make it to NY in time?

| Depends on what game you will be playing. TJ's book is the best for NL and PL, but Sklansky's is best for limit. If it was a tourny, I would read both TJ's book and Sklansky's Tourny book. Bottom line, all should be on the serious players bookshelf. | ||

| Both books are wonderful and should be purchased. Sklanski will provide you with a lot of game theory and mechanical decisions. I would study this book first. However, I think I learned more valuable insights from TJ and (Tom McEvoy). It seems unlike many other pro-players they are willing to share some real 'meat,' that will help you become more profitable. Again, I would read ALL of Sklanski, and TJ Cloutier's books. Hope that helps... Bill A. | ||
