Cloutiers PL/NL Book

[jtnt1096]

I have heard good and bad about this book. Can someone give me the low down on the good/bad and why they recommend it or not?

Thanks.

Cloutier is one of the greatest players of all time. There may be better books out there, by why would you not read it? No one can say they read it and didn't learn or get better at something. Any time one of the best poker players in the world wants to offer me advice I'll look it over/hear it out. Certainly if it only costs <$30.

I read it and didn't get better from, way too weak tight. It just isn't a good book, plain and simple. BTW, TJ is one of my favorite players of all time.

You can seriously tell me you learned nothing? Not even one little thing that may someday win or save you a couple bets? If you didn't, no problem. I'm just realy that curious.

Honestly, I learned nothing I didn't know. In fact, if I followed the advice (in general) in that book I'd be a worse player not better. Again, nothing against TJ, it's just a sad book.

Thanks for the heads up. I already purchased the book but haven't yet begun reading it. I guess I know what to expect. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

...before you even read the book?

It is a good book, but just how it will apply to your game is the question. This is book was really written about big tournaments with giant starting stacks.

The typical touranment, I don't know of you could fold AA on a flop of KQ3.

I have read others and am familiar with his career. He's written/co-written more than one book, you know. I have more than enough information to make that statement.
