How good is your limit Hold\'em SCORES
 

Just finished reading this book, it's a great read. Was just wondering what everyone's average score was after doing all the hands.

I ended up with 82.96% for the 24 hands. Looks like i've got some work to do on my limit hold em. Only 4 hands did I get less than 80% on them, so I need to work on those concepts specifically.

Is it worth looking at?

It's geared towards players just making the jump up to Mid/High limits and i found some of it very helpful, though i disagree with the thinking in some sections. Every chapter is just one big quiz which is kind of a fun departure from the info-dense 2p2 books.

Actually, the Breier book is called 'Middle Limit Holdem Poker'. It's a great book.

However, there is another book out titled 'How good is your limit holdem' by someone else. I just ordered that one as I heard it was pretty good. The breier book was pretty good. Lots of ideas to think about.

Not sure which one the OP is actually talking about.

I think the best thing with the book is that they make small changes in a hand and then ask same question. Like: "What would you do on turn if turn was Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] instead of Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]?"

The normal 2+2 books does a poor job getting the reader to understand that small changes can make a big difference. Many 2+2books are a little to focused on giving the excact and correct answer.

Nothing wrong with that if we only played hands excatly like those in the books, but normally our own hands differ in one way or another. Its deadly important to understand what this difference should make us do.

What's funny is I just ordered this book and didn't notice his name on it. I could only think of 'byron'-somebody. That makes me feel even better about ordering it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
