Howard Lederer DVDs are about the worst I have seen/read....I have gone through close 15 books...and decided to check out his DVDs....it was the biggest crap I have seen....his first and second....his 1st dvd can be summed up in a page of rules of the game...his 2nd dvd is very basic also....then he throws in some tells which are like 1/100 of caro's books on tells....I learned more by reading cardplayer magazine and this forum then i did watching his 2 dvds...

about the best books to read on Holdem:

Skalansky on limit
Dan Harrington on NL tournament play both his I and II
Brunson on NL sidegames and NL tournys...

waiting patiently till Daniel Negreanu or Phil Ivey publish books of their own....they have very different approaches than the old school players and are very refreshing to watch and daniel negreanu to read in his columns...
