I have read GSIH, WLLH, ITH, and now SSH. I just began reading TOP and I have come to notice that alot of the concepts are already include in the previous books I have read. Is this true for the rest of TOP?

I would say that these books have included concepts from Theory of Poker, not the other way around.

There is also some stuff in Theory of Poker that I have not seen in other places. You definitely don't want to miss out on chapters like "Heads-up on the River."

That's what I meant, I know TOP was written first, but these books now contain concepts from TOP. What concepts can be found unique to TOP?

Well, just to pick something off the top of my head, the chapter on Game Theory covers ideas not in those other books. There is other content as well. Keep reading...

I admit books like HEFAP and SSH flesh out a lot of the Theory of Poker concepts for hold'em players.

Edit: You're making me want to go back and re-read (or should I say re-re-read) Theory of Poker. Probably a good thing...

Point taken, thanks sammy. I will definitely continue reading, just wanted to get a feel for the rest of the book /images/graemlins/grin.gif
