"Perhaps because it was out before ITH and SSH!!!"

well , i often heard that read WLLH b4 other book like ITH(wich im sorry but....ITH can easilly be a greta first book since ther s not much difference between ITH and WLLH for lot of subject ,just that ITH explain it better and more info as well with a nice Q/A after each chapter.....much beter book over all and can easilly a great first book for the majority) LATELY, so your point doesnt stand!

Montreal corp ,


Have you read all three books in question?
WLLH can only be over rated if it fails to achieve what it states for its target audience... You have not shown that it does fail in that regard, and i am happy to argue with you that it does work, as that is how i learnt the basics behind limit hold em. WLLH is about giving a new player to hold em a basic foundation in which they learn to play tight, and trying to minimize difficult decisions while trying to learn the basics. At the lowest limits it works, I havent had any problems with it, but then I only play online as there are no live limit games where i live (in the UK).
perhaps you read an earlier edition of WLLH? or maybe you had experience of poker or limit hold em before reading the book (i had none, except watching NL games on the TV a couple of times).
In my first reply, I was simply stating that the target market for the books are different, and that the authors themselves support that point of view. Of course you can read ITH before WLLH, but some people may get more out of reading WLLH or GSIH before ITH. AS i pointed out earlier Matthew Hilger in his book recommends reading WLLH before ITH...and Miller recommends reading other books before reading his....are you saying they are wrong too?
Furthermore, most threads on this forum regarding limit books discuss the relevance of ITH and SSHE and WTO...GSIH and WLLH are not discussed as much as those three...try searching the threads and see how often they are talked about!
I mean they still recommended NOW, when ITH or the miller on eis out now...that makes it even worste i think!

couple years ago,fine WLLH was ok,no problem with that, but god,now im still hear people to suggest this book over ITH or strat in hold'em (i think) from miller...

No-one recommends it over those books (at least i havent heard or seen anyone post on this forum to that affect) only that it should be considered reading before those books (depending on the experience of the player concerned)

I'll say it again, SSHE, WTO and ITH are aimed at different audiences to that off WLLH...your argument is like comparing a york notes on Shakespeare with a peter and jane book!

i think its time it stop....WLLH should be gone now....
