Re: Professional No-Limit Hold \'em Volume 1 Review Thread
I have read about 3/4 and so far I absolutely positively hate this book.
The whole book rotates around one single concept, SPR. It gives reader the view that everything is about SPR and nothing more. It gives a stupid simplistic view of poker. Just as long as you get your SPR right everything will be fine. SPR SPR SPR yada yada yada.
I am not going to start raising to 7bb with KK or limp-reraising AQ from UTG just to get my SPR "correct". I will continue to open raise the standard amount 95% of situations. Why do all the cardrunners pros open raise standard amounts (barring exceptional situations such as against shortstacks) in their videos? Is sbrugby a donkey cause he does not play like this book teaches.
Reading this book makes me so damn mad I feel like TUFF_FISH on bad tilt when reading it. It's like misinformation designed to make me play bad. I guess I am going to burn my copy, I hate it that much.
Just my personal 2c.
