Default Re: Lee Jones Flawed Thinking

One thing I think Jones needs to be given credit for is his writing is far more accessible to the new player. I read SSHE first, when starting, then WLLH, which was much easier to understand. My education level was raised far more after re-reading SSHE the second and third times, but that was after getting some experience.

2+2 books are great and I cherish my collection, but could not recommend them for newly-minted players, unless I wanted to drive them away from the game. They make poker seem too complicated and only for the math-able. I'm not, which means that even the biggest math-dummy can win. It just takes a lot more work.
