Re: Just finished reading Cards by Maxwell.

It doesn't say anywhere in the book that he posts, and most live games don't require you to post when you first join the table, only if you've sat out and missed the blinds. I'm pretty sure in this hand he voluntarily puts in two bets preflop.
I disagree with the book not because it doesn't agree fit with my dogmatic view of poker, but because it's poorly written, boring, and repetitive.
Also, if you have changed your game based on this book, I'm sorry. I can't comment very authoritatively on the NL&PL play, but the limit play sucks, big time. The author was pretty obviously a typical crappy B&M player and most of the plays he describe are tilty and awful.
Judging from your continued enthusiasm and overall lack of poker strategy posts, I am starting to think you might be this book's author.

haven't you ever been excited about something? Guess not. I've been passionate about many topics at 2+2, usually not theory topics, exactly because i think they are too pedantic. And why i continue to buy poker books, i continue to have the feeling that i tend to not connect with them, then I read this book, and i felt like someone, albeit more extremely, know how I feel. this has given me great satisfaction.
i'm sorry you are an unhappy individual who cant relate to such enthusiasm.
And what about all the others that have said this is one of the best books they've ever read? what, are they the authors best friends? lol i'd love to have written this book.
I'm sure that you are the mindless mathematical grinder that this charachter mocks, and your lack of psychological aptitude is the driving frustration to belittle those that have such understanding.
And i sent you a private message, asking for your input. Thanks for being a pr ick.
Go program your pokerbot, because from your picture and personality, you sure aren't getting laid. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
