Default Re: Review of Pot Limit and No Limit Poker by Stewart and Ciaffone

I also thought this book was over rated after my first read through. It is not only lacking in detail but the writing is at times poorly structured. However, I am getting more out of it on the second read through. There are some important/powerful concepts under discussion in the book - they just don't necessarily grab you first time through.

This is exactly how I feel. I still think it's kinda overrated, but I am definitely starting to understand some of the things they are saying. While this is great for me, it's a flaw of the book that it wasn't clear the first time through. A good book shouldn't be such a mystery.

Reuben's writing is much weaker than Ciaffone's.
