Ciaffone's Improve your Poker

[Rudbaeck]

Mason gave it a 9 or 10. It richly deserves a 10 in my opinion.

Man, maybe I have to give it a shot. It's probably not that easy to find. Anybody try Middle Limit Hold'em? It's strictly Limit, as the title implies right? Maybe I can learn some NL concepts through the limit hand examples from "the coach."

As someone who was fairly new to poker, "Middle Limit Hold'em" greatly improved my ability to read the board. In example after example they give reasons why you should hate your hand. (As has been pointed out, in order to get the most possible out of the book you need to be capable of understanding the reasons for their paranoia on the middle streets, but hold onto your hand anyway against certain opponents). Conversely, there are a couple of examples as to how you should be aggressive HU on the flop. So in that respect, it can help your NL game.

Reading a NL book would be a more direct method, though, of course.
