Re: Why Great Players Often Like My Stuff More Than Good Players

Well according to Barry G's website, when Joe Sebok wanted to get started in poker he gave him some books to read first and later started giving him his own advice. Question is, which books were they?? Inquiring minds want to know...

He read all the obvious titles including some 2+2 books. I don't know if he has read TOP. I'm pretty sure he has read Sklansky's limit poker books, since he started playing limit.
By the way, I now regret that he started playing limit hold'em instead of no-limit. I never knew he would turn into a decent tournament player. Many times I feel he makes mistakes that limit players make:
1) calling normal sized bets with a draw on the turn.
2) calling on the river with an obvious calling hand in limit (top pair or better) but not realizing it's not worth the call against a solid no-limit player.
