Question on Ed Miller Book

donkeylove · #1 12-10-2006, 01:10 PM

I just bought the Ed Miller/sklansky book on NL theory. Has anyone read this? Is it worthwhile and should I ignore any parts of it? Making the transition from limit to no limit.

Thank you for any info

is this the "theory and practice" one you're referring to?

id like to here some opinions on this too

This book has much more in it than most other poker books. That said, most of the stuff in here I already know from experience, but I did pick up a few new things I can incorporate.

This book is great for a semi-beginner who is learning to read betting patterns.

It's a solid book. No, there's nothing in there you need to be afraid of.

the upcoming book from matt flynn/sunny mehta 2plus2 is supposed to be very good...maybe 3-4 months

its a great book, especially for people just getting started in NL as it soundly explains the fundamentals. obviously a lot of it is going ot be subjective or read dependent since its NL (probably not sklanksy's strongpoint?), but its a good start for sure. to miller and sklansky's credit though, it would be a HUGE book to write if you were to write one on all the moves and reads and w/e u can think of in NL, but i think this book sets you up well to start thinking about that type of thing

its relatively simple, but a lot of stuff in NL you have to experience obv
