Default Re: Professional No-Limit Hold \'em Volume 1 Review Thread

Great Book. I am going to re-organize the way I think about no limit hands. FWIW, I think the value of the book is in the analytical framework it sets up for the decision making process. I play in both tight on line games and live limpfests and I think the framework and related concepts are equally applicable.

I am not sure how someone could come to the conclusion that the book advocates weak-tight play, or will only be useful against weak opposition. At all times, it is the players responsibility to determine the likely preflop range of his opponents and postflop calling/betting ranges and tendencies, so.....if you are constantly making bad assumptions about your opponents ranges and potential reactions to your bets or raises that's hardly the authors' fault.

I look forward to Vol 2.
