Default Re: Professional No-Limit Hold \'em Volume 1 Review Thread

Matt,

After intending to spend 20-30 mins skimming the book I've just returned to the real world more than 4 hours later!

Most of the focus of the book is on manipulating the SPR to suit you and not your opponents. While I intuitively understood some of the principles of SPR before reading chunks of the book I now realize just how much more thorough I'm going to have to be in implementing it into my game. I shudder when I think of how badly I've been misplaying top pair hands against aggressive opponents. There is no doubt that this book will be of great help to all players up to Mid Stakes. Its refreshing to see a systematic treatment of how stack sizes influence the way a hand is played - a subject that is almost completely ignored by other NLH books.
