Default Re: Most over-rated poker book of all time?

I think everyone fails to realize that many of these books are obsolete because of the books themselves. If it wasn't for SS1, no limit would not have advanced in the coarse it has.

If it wasn't for HEFAP, many of the tactics of Limit would still be unknown to a mass audience. It is because with this information, that new information must be written, becasue the "typical" player is now the player described in these books.

Many of the books mentioned on this thread are still must-reads, because they a) bring you up to speed and b) still force you to think about the game, while suggesting a correct base strategy.

No single book, or any collection of books, is going to make you a winning player.
