You gave it a 5.5, while you gave WLLH a 9, as did you for for ITH. binions interpreted this the same way I did I guess; you hate money.

SSHE simply isn't applicable to the games I play in. What's wrong with that?

If you rated books on how applicable to the games you play then I wonder exactly what game you play where WLLH is almost perfectly applicable, and SSH barely at all?

I play in $5/10 games with friends who all play pretty tight. Occasionally a loose player will get invited who is relatively clueless about poker but likes to gamble, but it's usually 8 or 9 guys who are semi-serious about playing, not gambling.

Then I get why you felt ITH was great. Still don't get WLLH. But you should seriously read HEFAP, it will likely do wonders for you in that game.

I was thinking of WLLH as more of a beginner's book and ITH and SSHE as advanced books. As a beginner's book WWLH is great IMO.

Non-strategy:

Positively Fifth Street: 7
Big Deal: 8.5

Strategy:

SSHE: 9
WLLH: 7 (8 if you're a rank beginner like I was when I first read it)
HoH 1: 10
HoH 2: 9
Theory of Poker: 10
HEPFAP: 8

I think I'm forgetting one or two.

Edit:

Poker Tells: 8

I also noticed I'm not nearly as "voracious" a reader as some of you are. Do I get extra points because I've read almost everything 2-3 times (or more) and it's all been since January? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'd love to chime in, but I have 70-some poker books and over 200 on LV and gambling in general.

Ugh
