ToP vs SS2
I'm getting these 2 books for Christmas. I mainly play limit HE, but have been playing some limit OH8. Which one should I read first?
Thanks |

Re: ToP vs SS2
ToP
I have read both and I can't really recommend SS2 to anyone who wants to learn holdem, I suppose if your interested in learning the less played games, a short section on tells, and internet poker, or a waste of space on the world poker tour, I can recommend SS2. If you want to learn holdem, I wouldn't even have SS2 in the top 10 books at this point (I don't know if it is in the top 20), it can actually do more harm than good....

Re: ToP vs SS2
Thanks, kind of thought ToP should be the choice to help in my HE games, but I do want to learn some for OH8 and maybe even some 7cs. I might skip the HE sections of SS2 then and just check out the other poker parts.

You obviously don't play NL hold em.

Re: ToP vs SS2
Don't listen to morons, if you play NL hold 'em and want to get better, read SS, one or two, they're the same. I can't speak for the limit section as I don't play that game.

"Play Poker Like the Pros" has an Omaha 8 or better chapter.
Ha ha ha ha ha. |

I have read SSII. I thought it was pretty good. I am not sure which you should read first, but I would recommend reading the O8 section in SSII right off the bat. It will really help you if your just starting off.
