Internet Texas Hold \'em
I am still new to poker and I am about to purchase another book...I was told that ITH by Hilger was a good read. Can anyone give me some feedback from this book. I used the search option but I didnt find what I was looking for. Im fairly new to this site too. (Mainly just a lurker).
Thanks for any and all comments.

It's fine...nothing special and don't let the 'internet' in the title think it will help you a lot there. Get Millers Small Stakes Holdem book if you don't have that.

Re: Internet Texas Hold \'em
Yeah I have SSHE actually...Should I just stick to re-reading that instead of purchasing ITH? Would there be anything to gain from reading ITH that wouldnt be covered or discussed in SSHE?

Re: Internet Texas Hold \'em
I have both, and although Hilger's book is good, it won't give you any new insight into the game. I also don't like how the book is formatted. SSHE is better, IMO.

Re: Internet Texas Hold \'em
Internet Texas Hold'Em is a solid read, but like everyone else said, you won't gain much from it if you understand the concepts in Small Stakes.
I would suggest buying a copy of Theory of Poker, reading/studying it until you can grasp all of the concepts. I feel that once you can understand the knowledge in that book, all the other game specific concepts come just a little bit easier. So I would then suggest re-reading Small Stakes Hold'em and focusing on each chapter individually, until you understand it fully. It will do wonders for your game.

Re: Internet Texas Hold \'em
I'm not even a Limit player, but I enjoyed the hand examples in ITH... that constitutes the majority of Hilger's book.
A lot of major bookstores are stocking it now, so you might be able to skim it in Barnes and Noble.

If you have any questions on any hand examples, the author will answer them on his website.
