Excellent book.

I read it, but need to re-read as I read it when I first started so certain sections on position I did not understand.

2006.. ok.. thanks!!

My local library can grab me pretty much any book as long as it's published prior to 2008 (inter-library book loan). They've gotten to know me quite well there, lol (ie... "We had no idea there were so many different poker books out there. Is there really much difference between them?") A couple of books I've re-ordered 3 times and as a result the library just went out and bought a copy for their shelves'. THey even went and surprised me by subscribing to Bluff Magazine!! (i'm the only one who loans them out, hee hee.. our city pop. is around 7,000).
