Default Re: Barry: most poker books are written by losers

Poker is like sex, you can't learn it from books alone.

This is one of the worst analogies I've ever read.

If given the choice, I'd take just about any 2+2 book, SS2, some of Ciaffone's stuff, etc., over Ace on the River. But I do own AoTR and don't regret the purchase.

But then again, I guess I just named off books that were written by player/winners which I assume weren't the books he was talking about.

Ace on the river tells you more about living the poker life as a gambler rather than real strategy.
