Re: Middle Limit Hold Em Poker still champion
Hi Doc,
Ciaffone and Brier wrote this back in 2001/2002, and their regular 15-30 to 40-80 games were certainly not as nutty as nowadays. This is especially true since they are not referring to any online play, to which most of the posters here now refer.
I still think that this book offers much to learn since it prompts you to think about all aspects of your hand. It is solid advice and should be used as a complement to other quality books out there. The book's advice may never change while hold'em itself will keep evolving, but the teachings can still be used in many games today.
Remember that Jim Brier is not extinct, he is still writing in the 2+2 magazine as well as Card Player, and his stuff is still great.
