Default Re: The Most Comprehensive Holdem Book Ever Written?

Warren correctly points out that the most effective style is tight-aggressive. This must be a hitherto unknown use of the word, aggressive...

I find this particular gripe VERY common among poker books. They tell you, sometimes repeatedly, "play tight-aggressive," as if those words alone will turn on the light bulb and suddenly have you destroying $20-$40 games. They do not give enough examples, and in the examples they do give, they have you playing like a flaccid pickle.

Even the ones that get it more or less right with preflop aggression tend to break down postflop... ESPECIALLY on the turn and river. Once the bets get big, they have you checking everything down. Drives me nuts.
