Best parts of Yao\'s book?
I am very busy at work and cannot read Yao's book cover to cover as of now, what are the best chapters to hit?
I've read and reread SSHE so I'm looking for parts he does better (if possible) than SSHE or new concepts. |

Re: Best parts of Yao\'s book?
i would suggest instead of playing for a few days after work that you read the entire book. it is very solid. however, if you have read most of sklansky's books and ssh, there will not be a lot that you have not read before. and sklansky and ssh probably present it somewhat better. nonetheless, it is still a very good book that will remind you of a lot of important concepts, and that you will get a lot out of.

Re: Yes, and the books I like.
it depends. it is a good book. and even if the material covers things that you have read, it is always helpful to read it again. however, i think there are other books i suggest that you might want to read before it. ssh comes to mind, i do not play the low limits, yet i thought i was a great book.
i read all decent poker books, and if they are good i reread them. if you get just 1 or 2 things out of a book, it is worth it. if it makes you think it is worth it. I suggest ALL of the following books, they are all terrific, and they are in no particular order: The Theory of Poker Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players Small Stakes Hold 'em Harrington on Hold 'em Volume I Harrington on Hold'em Volume II Seven Card Stud for Advanced Players High-Low Split Poker, Seven Card Stud and Omaha Eight or Better for Advanced Players Sklansky on Poker Gambling Theory and Other Topics Getting the Best of It Inside the Poker Mind Middle Limit Holdem Poker Esasys I Poker Esasys II Poker Eassys III Tournament Poker for Advanced Players |
