Re: good players without reading books
Of course its possible to become a good player without reading books. Thats what everybody did 40-50 years ago.
I belive the first poker book written that was any good came out in 78 (super system). Doyle Brunson and Johnny Moss were probably the best in the world at that time. How did they learn to play? By playing a lot, thinking a lot, and discussing a lot with other players.
Its probably true though that most will learn faster by using books in their poker studies.
BTW: Some even belive that books can be hurtfull. That it messes with your "feel" for the table.
