[PotatoStew]

Are there any major differences between this book and Lee Jones' Winning Low Limit Hold Em?

Nah...not any important ones anyway.

for those that can't tell...Sossman has a slight edge of sarcasm to him sometimes.


WLLHE will get you playing tight...and pretty weak typically.
SSHE will open your eyes to how the game should be played.

i was aware of many of the concepts that would be covered just based on Ed's posts. i was very much looking forward to it and the book has exceeded my hopes in terms of quality and depth and ease of use.


i would say that you don't need this book if you can meet any of the following conditions:

1. you are already regularly beating-up on the 30/60 games or higher and are content with your profitability
2. you already know more about poker than Ed and can run circles around him in discussions involving outs, pot-odds, raising for value, etc etc.
3. you don't have an interest in becoming a better player.
4. you would be so guilt-ridden by taking your opponents money that you would need to seek therapy (which, ironically, you would now be able to afford).
5. all of the games you play in are of the variety covered more thoroughly in HEFAP (which is extremely unlikely)


there is no question that this book is better than WLLHE and significantly more accurate and thorough.
WLLHE contains some ideas and examples that just aren't very sound.

in short: if you can read english, can handle a little bit of math, and want to become a decent to good player, there is NO EXCUSE for not getting this book.


p.s. - ed, you can just send my testimonial-check to my home address. thanks.

The post-flop advice is the most complete that I have seen in print. I thought the section on evaluating hand strength after the flop is worth the price of the book on its own ...

From what I have read, this is a monstrous understatement. The evaluating hand strength section is worth thousands of dollars to anyone playing 2-4 or higher. I haven't finished the postflop concepts, but it seems that anyone who reads and understands this could take a huge step forward.

Good luck,
play well,

Thanx to all answers (I already ordered it).

[daiwiza]

no no it's ok....

That's exactly the reason why I asked, I even quit Ring Games since then, because I didn't improve, so maybe I'll give it another try now with Ed's book.
