Professional No-Limit Hold 'em Volume 1 Review Thread

Gonso: Outstanding sir. We have to have a gun for volume 2.

ajloeffl: Thanks for the comments and yeah, spot on about these techniques being more useful against tricky and aggressive opponents. As you pointed out, against straightforward players you'll usually know when to fold, so commitment thresholds and SPRs aren't as helpful. Glad you liked it!

This book is very useful to me personally because of the opponents which this strategy is geared for. I don't have much trouble playing against a straightforward or passive opponent. I do however have issues against aggressive players. They seem to build huge stacks stealing (or appearing to steal) lots of medium size pots when people get too far in and then fold. I now make sure to either get out quick or commit to the pot (or have a plan).

Arguably the best poker book I ever bought. Really complicated subjects are explained simply and are easy to understand.

I haven't played much NL and don't hang out in the NL stategy forums so much of this is brand new to me.

Ps. It is an easy read.
