Do you have no mind?
Can you not read other posts?
If I give u a dollar would you buy a clue or waste it betting on 7,2o?

Way to trash talk, champ. Maybe you should calm down and let the adults handle this.

Smokey, how much hold'em have you played?

You should definitely add Ed Miller's Small Stakes Hold'em to the list.

I'd swap Jones and Miller. Not that Jones is a better book (it's not), but it's more accessible to a beginner.

Gosh Darn,
This poker thing is turning us into bountious, bulging, bloated bibliophiles!
I'm five months into poker and just got SSHE by Ed Miller et al.
Of all the books I've seen, I would promote this one to #1 on my list.
It's VERY thorough.

For future reference: this is probably better suited to the beginner's forum. No hate though, and no harm done, just FYI [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Welcome to the boards
