| Book Discussion: Play Poker Like a Pigeon and Take the Money Home This discussion started on another thread, but I think it should be on its own thread. I highly recommend the book , but it is contraversial. Quote:
But I don't understand your issue with doubling the outs after the flop, because there are two draws. I agree that doubling the outs to calculate pot odds is erroneous, because there is going to be another round of betting, but for determining your chances of hitting by the river, you certainly double the outs when calculating post flop. |

| I don't honestly know.. I haven't read this book but the reviews that I looked at on a few sites seemed very negative towards it.. therefore I cannot comment on what was written because I haven't read it. Based on its reviews, I don't think Ill be buying it simply because there are a ton of books with much better reviews. If the discussion here indicates that its better than the reviews claimed I might change my mind. |

| A little bit of sugar makes the medicine go down. I slogged through Hansen's Every Card Revealed in about a week, because it was soooooo dry. A little bit of humor wouldn't have hurt that book at all. And Sklansky, my goodness. I take that book on the casino bus, so that after the adrenelin of a poker tournament, I can read a chapter and take a nice nap on the way home. All three books have made me a better player, but a think a book that is also enjoyable to read is preferable to one which is not. |

I much rather read the "dry" works of Sklansky if it means more more $ in my BR then read a comedy book with bad advice that might add leaks to my game instead of plugging them. |

Currently I am looking at volume 2 of Harrington on Cash games sat on my bookshelf.. I will read it soon, but the first one was very dry and wordy and felt quite an effort to read. Trouble is that many of the most useful books are written in a very dry format. So whilst a the style of writing will certainly sway my decision to read a book.. what I'm really looking for is content. |
