Re: Psychology Books That Are Applicable To Poker
Whalen is ex-military (ret.) and by his own accounts a
succesful player (I will not attempt to refute). His writing style is 'folksy' and full of quaint sayings that have some applicability, but are best "taken with a grain of salt." The book is not in front of me (in a different state) but I recall a couple of strategic errors as well, at least as written. Many strategies are applicable in specific situations, his situations were not well defined and therefore his advice somewhat dangerous. An experienced player capable of getting thru the 'minefield' can pick up some useful things. This may be most true with the psychology aspects. So the book is not without value, just don't approach it like a 2+2 book where everything can be assumed to be accurate (even if the writing may be poor). |
