Re: Ed Miller and Lee Jones play a hand
IMO, the Jones book is usually taken completely out of context on these forums.
It is admitedly a beginners book. It teaches a defensive style that is designed to keep beginning players out of trouble but also allow them to be profitable, in a short period of time.
Jones never claims that it is a end-all-be-all book. He stresses several times that it is only a starting point. Thorughout the book he will say things like "For expert players this might be profitable, but you are not missing much by passing it up.".
I think Jones's book accomplishes it's purpose.
