Yes I agree...definitely get both books. POP has more fundamental concepts of poker players in general...and Inside the poker mind is a little more indepth into certain issues...Feeney's book seems like it is more of a collection of essays on his opinions about stuff...sound opinions though. So get both... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Schoonmaker's book is mainly about your opponents and why they play the way they do.

Feeney's book is mainly about you and how you can avoid tilt.

I strongly prefer Feeney, but Schoonmaker is a good read too.

Feeney is a good pokerplayer, other guy tells u nothing about poker.

I have to diagree here. Dr. Al comes at it from a different angle, which I like. He covers the issues a player faces internally, playing the various styles. His analytical perspective lays bare the actual facts about the personal psychology of the game, and he strongly denounces denial in all the forms it takes. The way he enumerates the pros and cons of each style is pretty interesting when you think abotu how important it is to be able to adjust to any game. This is usually done by varying your style of play, perhaps radically, from table to table and game to game.

Each book is a pittance. Get both.
