Default Worth while reading ITH?

I have read GSIH, WLLH 3rd, TOP, I am currently reading and re-reading SSH, and I have HPFAP and MLH on my shelf.

* I know it's a good book, but is there anything ITH has that isn't included in the other 6. Thanks guys.

It's a good read, but if you've got TOP, HPFAP, and SSH it's probably not worth buying, IMHO. Just continue to study SSH.

ITH has more hand examples covering a larger variety of situations than SSH. also, Hilger's starting hand chart is a little tighter in early and middle position, which is often a leak even with intermediate online players. keep in mind that SSH was primarily written for low limit B&M players which are often even looser than something like $1/2 internet.

ITH is slightly tighter and less aggressive than SSH, but is substantially ahead of WLLH and any Cloutier/McEvoy book IMO. probably not worth $29.95, but at a discount you might find a couple of minor improvements for your game.

I read ITH about a year ago and found it was very basic. It's advice on preflop play is great but anyone with a little experience should have Preflop play drummed into them already. SSH has everything ITH has and 10 times more
