I too started out with Jones' book, which is the main reason I'm here. I'm trying to "relearn" how to play Hold 'Em. I'll never understand why so many people advocate that book.

I also agree with the difficulty with SSH. I've read that book and am re-reading it now and I'm still confused by a lot of it.

This is the crux.
Jones' book is THE one to start with if you've never read a poker theory book before. Just keep in mind you're going to want to read SSH as soon as you're fairly sure you understand WLLH.
And make sure you get the latest edition of WLLH - Jones has adjusted a lot of plays in the last update, and the SNG section he added is a great introduction to single-table donkaments.
WLLH is like kindergarten - learnings through play, to make sure you LIKE the game before you get serious about your education.
Then start reading SSH, and read it again and again - it's guaranteed you'll miss TONS the first couple of times through.

Ok, I see what you're saying now. You're right, Jones' book is better for easing into the game(in my opinion). I did manage to get the most recent version as well. I hear it's much better than the first. In some ways I wish I hadn't read his book though because I feel like I have to totally retrain my brain at this point.
P.S. Is that THE John Candy in your avatar? Or just someone who is his spitting image?
