Re: Play Poker like a pigeon
I would not call it a great book, but I found it quite an enjoyable read, with many amusing anecdotes.
As for insulting Sklansky, I didn't read it that way. In fact I think it's just the opposite, he seems to have alot of respect for and says everyone should read Sklansky.
This book should not be compared to the no fold em books. It is very different. He only recommends deviating from "Sklansky like" play in certain situations, and making sure everyone sees what you are doing, so they will see you as a pigeon.
If you go into it thinking he is going to reveal some magic formula, as the cover seems to imply, you will be disappointed. But seriously I thought it was a pretty damn good read and thoroughly enjoyed it.
