Re: Professional No-Limit Hold \'em Volume 1 Review Thread
A review is an opinion, and you expressed yours. I don't think you came across as disrespectful. Yes, the quality of online play has increased; however, I feel that the book has value at every level.
I do not mean to oversimplify the book with my next few statements. Volume 1 is amazing, and I am thinking about NL in a completely different way because of the the hard work of everyone involved with its publication.
NL is about stacking the opponent. You must build a pot to stack an opponent. You can build a pot by betting, raising, and checking (to induce a bluff/provide an opportunity to CR). If you make poor decisions you will get stacked. This book walks you through the thought process of how to stack your opponent and provides you with guidelines that make your postflop decisions less laborious. Simple yet elegant.
Just my $.02.
