Re: johnny chan\'s limit hold em book
 

"Million Dollar Hold' Em - Limit Cash Games" Is not a bad book, but don't expect any deep insight either. It consists of almost entirely hand examples, how he would play them, his thinking etc. I found it a good bathroom book, reading a hand or two on the can. It has a nice layout, and covers a lot of concepts through hand examples.

I heard it was a pretty good book, so I thumbed through it at Barnes & Noble yesterday.

It looked great.

It's mostly a series of examples with explanations that follow. But what I really liked was the fact that it addressed mostly heads-up (postflop) situations against tough opponents.

I'll probably be getting this book in the next couple of weeks.

It's not a horrible book in that it's not going to do much harm to your game or anything like that. But I think it's really beginnerish.

You raise an early limper and only the big blind and the limper call your raise. The flop comes down and both players check to you, you bet. The big blind folds but the limper calls. The turn is dealt and the limper checks to you again, you remain aggressive and bet again. The limper folds and you win the pot.

Brilliant. Thanks Johnny Chan, I never would have worked that out without your book.

Kinda weak book. Kinda like adman said. A lot of congratulating you for being aggressive and winning pots with A8s. Raise preflop, see the pot with 2 opponents. Bet turn and lose 1 opponent. Bet river and lose the second, congratulations.

I thought I read it on here. I'll definitely take your word for it and skip it.

I'm reading Stox's book right now and it definitely falls into the "best poker book" category. When I'm done I'll probably read it again.

Have you heard anything about Barry T's new advanced book?

Re: johnny chan\'s limit hold em book
 

He's supposed to be a great NL player, but from what I heard from those that played him, he is a terrible Limit player.

Review of his play: "He only knows 'I'm all in.'" Maybe a little harsh, but I got the point.

He used to be very weak at limit poker, but he improved his limit game significantly in the late ‘90’s and early 00’s.
