Re: What is the Best Book For Advanced Players on Hold Em\' For Cash Ga
[ QUOTE ]
I am an advanced player and don't like the books that have a TON of math.

Poker is a math game. If you don't understand the math, you don't understand the game, and you are not an advanced player.
The conventional wisdom is that at the higher levels, it is a game of people and not cards. But even when it is a game of people, it is still a game of math. It is just that at higher levels it becomes a game of people math rather than card math. E.G., if I raise here, what are the chances that my raise is too much for my opponent to risk a call, no matter what cards he has? That is called fold equity. It is highly subjective, but highly important. It is math, and if you don't understand the math (and why it is math) you don't understand the game.
