SSHE simply isn't applicable to the games I play in. What's wrong with that?

[/ QUOTE ] I play in $5/10 games with friends who all play pretty tight. Occasionally a loose player will get invited who is relatively clueless about poker but likes to gamble, but it's usually 8 or 9 guys who are semi-serious about playing, not gambling.

Re: My Book Reviews .. Post Yours
I was thinking of WLLH as more of a beginner's book and ITH and SSHE as advanced books. As a beginner's book WWLH is great IMO.

Non-strategy:
Positively Fifth Street: 7 Big Deal: 8.5 Strategy: SSHE: 9 WLLH: 7 (8 if you're a rank beginner like I was when I first read it) HoH 1: 10 HoH 2: 9 Theory of Poker: 10 HEPFAP: 8 TPFAP: 5 SS2: 8 (NOT for the NLHE "content", however.) Psychology of Poker: 7 Killer Poker Online: 2 (laughable) Gambling Theory and Other Topics: 9 How Good is Your Limit HE: 7.5 I think I'm forgetting one or two. Edit: Poker Tells: 8 I also noticed I'm not nearly as "voracious" a reader as some of you are. Do I get extra points because I've read almost everything 2-3 times (or more) and it's all been since January? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
