Hold \'em Poker for Advanced Players
 

I have a couple of questions on HPFAP:

IS HPFAP mostly limit or no limit?

Can the theory be applied to both?

Is it a worthwhile read or is it outdated?

What was your general opinion on the book? What were its strengths/weaknesses? etc.


Thanks.

It's limit.

dont know,

Probably worth reading, but would depend on what games you play and the quality of your opponents.

It is on my to read list,but there are several other books i want to get through first.

I'm looking to learn and get good at limit. I want a book that gives good foundation in the game.

I already have Small Stakes Hold'em and have a good understanding of general poker thory.

It's the best liimit book ever written. While it's a bit dated, there is still plenty of great material in the 21st century edition. The material is best applied to mid-stakes games from 15-30 to 60-120. If you've read Ed's SSH, then this is the ideal book to go to next.

completely agreed, very good thorough book, i have stoxtraders book on the way now cuz holdem for advanced players talked alot about tight play and stuff, where stox's book talks way more about changing play to beat the much harder games. I cant wait

Re: Hold \'em Poker for Advanced Players
 

great advice: real the hold em book and theory of poker, then hold em for advanced players, then stox's book, they are things that i think should be taught in order

Re: Hold \'em Poker for Advanced Players
 

it is a great book and a must read for all players, not only limit players. however, the writing is not great, therefore, you may need to read it more then once.

Stox is excellent. What's D&B?
