Books by Neil Myers (opinions wanted)
 

I was looking through Barnes And Noble the other day and I noticed that Neil Myers has a new book out. It is called No Limit Hold'Em Hand By Hand. In looking on Amazon, I see he is going to have a new one out in January called Tournament Hold'Em Hand By Hand. Both have DVDs.

I was wanting to get people's opinions on his books and DVDs. Are they worth a look? Are they worth buying?

I was checking out the book myself. For those interested, here is the amazon link:
NL Hand by Hand

From what I gather, this book is geared a bit for beginners/intermediates and is designed to walk you through postflop play of the many common situations you'd encounter in low limit NL table.

I've found one review that claims the book is well written and DVD is quite good production wise.

Hand by Hand review

I may decide to pick it up just to check it out.

I might need to buy stop by my local megabookseller and flip through that.

Does the author have a Web site?

I think this guy had an interview on the Dr Al show.

At least he's a modest and honest guy - clearly states that he is not a world champion or top high limit player but just a low limit player with lots of experience and has earned a decent supplemental income from it.

Here it is.

OK, I did a quick flip through at my local bookstore.

The reason I did a quick flip through is because the information in the book was very basic. Very basic. Getting Started in Hold'em basic.

This book seemed to be aimed at players with a skill level lower than that assumed in Largay's Complete Course or Sam's How to Dominate.

I put it back on the shelf rather quickly, and didn't add it to my (lengthy) Christmas list.

Speaking of Sam, how's his next book coming along? Anyone know?

His books have tons of incorrect advice/stratigy.

It's been quite a while since I have looked at any of the books so I can't give you any specific examples.

I did start a thread once on one of them if you care to do a search.

Re: Books by Neil Myers (opinions wanted)
 

I just picked this up out of curiosity... just from skimming, the book is in a similar format at the DB books: "How Good is Your ..." with a problem, then with answers and scores.
Also watched the intro on the DVD - haven't watched it entirely so can't comment on the content and advice but the overall quality of the DVD production is quite good especially compared to the low budget production of Howard Lederer and Annie Duke's DVD.

I will try to go through the content over the weekend and will post a review.

someone mentioned the sam o'connor book in thread. i like his writing style and the stories. but i do wonder about some of the advice. i can give an example if someone wants (from memory, i think the one chapter didn't mention stack sizes which is obviously very important, and especially so for the example).... book seems overly tight in laying down big hands. i stress again that i'm talking about sam o-connor's not the book in the thread title.

There is a thread on Sam's book. Perhaps you should post anything further about his book in that thread.
