Should I upgrade old HEP?

[benfranklin]

I haven't play poker in a while, and am getting back into it. Started rereading my poker books. I have a very old edition of HEP (probably the first edition, but I don't have it here right now). Just by looking at the page count, I can see that the current edition is much expanded. My question is, is the newest edition worth getting, or should I just stick with the old one, and go from there to HPFAP?? Thanks in advance for any info.

I don't think the update is much of anything although I haven't read the older version. In the newer version there are footnotes that say things like "this is no longer true under the new two blind structure" (sic) but it doesn't seem that much refers to the new blinds. The hand rankings are updated which is a bonus but the same hand rankings appear in HPFAP so I would say that you should just buy that.
