Default Re: I just ordered Angel Largay\'s book, What parts are bad?

I just finished reading Angel's book and I thought the whole thing was very worthwhile. There was one bad pun about not going where angels fear to tread...

Lots of poker books include descriptions of the various player types, but I thought Angel did an especially good job of describing them on a practical level. It's good advise made even better by the section at the back of the book where Angel describes how he would play several different hands differently against each of the player types and, more importantly, why. The advise itself is quite worthy, but the biggest benefit comes from getting a first hand account of how a successful player thinks about a hand as it is unfolding.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to anyone looking to better their low-limit no-limit hold'em game. If you play only online then you'll need to take some of the advise with a grain of salt and adjust other advise to the realities of online play. If you play higher stakes than 2/5 live then this book is (by Angel's admission) not for you and you won't likely benefit from it much because it addresses issues, situations, and prevalent player types that are not typically found in higher limit games.
