best book for beginner that teaches being very tight/agressive?

[ZeeJustin]

I always suggest for new poker players to read these three books in order: Winning Low Limit Hold'em by Lee Jones, Theory of Poker, and HEFAP. If they are already decent and understand most important concepts, I sometimes suggest they skip WLLH.

Mason,

Will this be sort of like HEP re-worked, or is this book going to contain new information not available in any other 2+2 book.

I want this book very badly. Hopefully it'll be a step above WLLH.

Is this a joke? If not, congratulations MK!

This is a new book, written from scratch. Many ideas presented in the book are explained in one place or another in the 2+2 literature. I have cherry-picked the concepts that I believe are most important to success in loose games.

Some of those concepts that have appeared previously were not thoroughly explored, however. Some may have been given a half-page section in TOP... in our book, such a concept might get several pages of explanation including several examples.

There are also some concepts that, to my knowledge, have never before been presented in a poker book. While it is targetted for loose, low-limit games, it is not a book for rank beginners. Many of the concepts are quite sophisticated. Having spent several years now posting on the Small Stakes forum, I know that almost every SS poster will learn at least several crucial things to improve his game from reading this book.

Congrats, Major, it's quite an accomplishment.

More than anything, however, I can't wait for the inevitable Miller vs. Jones posts. Excellent!

Ed,

I haven't been reading these forums that long, but I was very impressed when I read your "Charging the Flush Draws" post. So I am impatiently looking forward to your book. In the meantime, would you please consider giving us a list of your "best of MajorKong" posts? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Sooo...can you guys hurry up and get this book out? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I'm highly anticipating it now.
