Re: Professional No-Limit Hold \'em Volume 1 Review Thread
Just wanna say that I'm through Part 3 and I'm really diggin the book. I really like the thesis: "Plan your hands." The logical players are already doing that, but us instinctual players often need a blunt reminder that making decisions on the fly isn't always (ever?) the right way to do things. That's probably my biggest weakness: playing too much from street-to-street instead of having a cohesive plan for the entirety of the hand. A book like this was exactly what I needed.
Unfortunately, I got it right after picking up "The Mathematics of Poker," so I keep bouncing between the two. I'm spending more time with MoP due to the nature of the material, but PNLHE will get its due. Both of them are constantly reminding me how I need to think of hands in their entirety and not "one street at a time." I can already see my play on the turn improving dramatically. Thanks a lot, and good luck in the future.
