Default Re: Worst Poker Book You\'ve Ever Seen/Read?

Actually, Ken A. wrote a review on it for the last edition of CPP. I’ll quote one paragraph:

As further nit-picking, situation #43 has a graphical error on the flop cards, telling me there are no hearts on the flop, with the A of hearts staring me in the face. #46 tries to convince me that KT suited is a good starting hand in a tournament; #56 - #60 starts out well by folding 77 after a preflop raise, and re-raise (which I feel is correct), but the next Situations carry out as if you had called, pairing you against an “idiot” from an earlier hand, who ends up knocking you out of this particular tournament; during the multiple table internet tournament a player “hesitates”, which is labeled a tell, without noting the multiple other reasons for a lag while playing online. My last negative example exemplifies the lapses in reason, when the author advises “I’ll make a move with my hand” to telegraph his indecision before checking – this during an internet qualifier. I wonder if his opponent fell for it.
