Format:Paperback
The section on range-oriented thinking is worth the price of the book alone. Too many low stakes players play with a weak polarised range and this may, funnily enough, be an optimal strategy at such stakes. But as you move up even to the small stakes ($100 buy-ins), polarised ranges are easy to exploit. This book gives a roadmap for range-oriented thinking.
The book then deals extensively wih pre-flop play, including a very analytical incorporation on equilibria. As an economist by training, it was refreshing to see how Nash Equilibria apply to poker. The most interesting part of this part of the book was on perceived ranges and how to manipulate it to facilitate value betting.
The section on three-bet pots is nothing new, but it is useful to see another perspective on it.
The penultimate section covers miscellaneous topics, most of which offers no major insights, but I did absorb some new material on optimal bluffing.
The final section includes hand reading exercises, combinatorics exercises, range structure exercises and optimal bluffing exercises. There are some very difficult exercises here, and that's why the final section is very useful.
For 14 quid, this book is being given away.

Worth the effort
16 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have an exhaustive collection of poker books, which I've come to view as more of a collection than a learning library. Once a poker player reaches the intermediate level, reading poker books produces minimal improvement in one's overall poker skill. I feel that I reached that point of diminishing returns many book purchases ago.
To further ones learning, a player needs to analyze their own game and that of their opponents. This book helps the reader learn to do precisely that. This is not light reading, it's more like a college text book. If the reader is willing to study the concepts and think deeply about how those concepts apply to their own game and underlie the play of individual hands, then this book is worthwhile.

Good starting point

I very much like the range orientated and game theoretic approach. So far the best book in that sense. Yet the book could be more thorough. With all the example and pictures about 330 pages is way too short to cover all the topics. This book was postponed several times and I think it is still somewhat unfinished.

Best mid no limit book out there
13 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I can't believe he is selling this book on Amazon for this price. I have bought ebooks on the internet for over 1k that are not as good as this one.
I didnt want to tell everyone how good this book is because it will just make the games out there harder. But I need to give credit to the author. Amazing
