Re: Book Review: Killer Poker
I only felt a moderate amount of the material was of real value. Much of the book is a lecture on play your best, stay off tilt, and review your play.
I personally felt there was value in this. I liked some of his "review your play" ideas.
But very little is specific enough to lead any reader in any direction.
True, there is very little real strategy advice. He does have some good ideas on identifying and attacking vulnerable opponents.
Also, strategies like distract your opponents . . . you might discover that following advice like this might “worsify” your game.
LOL. I've never been a big fan of image stuff like that and think you are probably right. Slighty off topic, but the first edition of Othmer's seven card stud book had one of the most ridiculous examples of image ever.
One thing I found odd was his recommended books list includes only one 2+2 book (TOP), yet it has 2 of McEvoy's books (Championship HE and Tournament Poker).
Overall, I think the book was worth more than the money I paid for it.
