Re: Comment on Greenstein Rating
I haven't quite finished reading it yet, but I think there is a subtlety to the lessons that Barry is giving us here that either resonates within you immediately or it leaves you cold. Granted, there isn't much in the way of strategy but I didnt expect that there would be. Books about strategy are plentiful, and the best of them have been written by Sklansky. (I really dont think that there's much more anyone can say about how, for example, the high-limit players play AK when they miss the flop.) Once a player has mastered the concepts in the Theory of Poker (and I doubt very many have) he really doesn't need charts or roadmaps. Barry Greenstein is giving us his insight into what those qualities are that separate the game's top players from the rest. And those qualities, I believe, are what make the difference, not some esoterica that the rest of us are trying to gain access to.
