[MicroBob]

I mostly agree with BobDibble and Grisga.

There is some material in there that is interesting and has jogged my brain a bit but 'taking it to the next level' is something I'm not quite seeing either. Not to the extent that other posters are claiming anyway.


My biggst complaint is NOT that it isn't more poker-intensive (which seems to be what many people are accusing those who are critical of AotR).

I'm not looking for some simple poker-manual nor do I need to be told AGAIN that there are actually differences between live and online play.
It has nothing to do with that. I'm just not seeing anything really extraordinary here to warrant the comments from some readers who are now somehow viewing the game SO differently than before.


And I just was disappointed in some of the more basic stuff that Barry included like "don't bet all your poker-winnings on sports if you suck at it" and "you should be tipping your dealers and chip-runners".
These aren't exactly revolutionary money-management or etiquette tips.



These are my criticisms. But I did like the book as a whole and hope Barry isn't finished with his 'writing bug'.
