No one ever mentions this book, but it's one of the top five in my library. It's a compilation of Roy's columns in Card Player, so many may have read them, but it's a must have. Really.
Want to think like a pro at the table? Get this book. Cooke takes you through hands and his thinking at the table. His reads are great. Even his mistakes are there. I can't understand why this book doesn't get the notice it deserves. CJ |

Hi Cactus.
It has probably been discussed more than you realise. The book is thought of very highly as well. If I'm not mistaken, I think Roy is bringing out another edition sometime this year. Will look forward to that if it's true. PJS |

Is his book striclty for limit play? [/ QUOTE ] well, all that he has ever written is for mid-high limit poker. some of the hand reading anecdotes might be useful for NL nth-level thinking though, even if just on a theoretical basis. |

Cool thanks. I am a LHE player for the most part so I will eventually check his book out.

He does an excellent job of walking you through his exact thought process for each hand. Beyond just the normal cookie-cutter advice you normally read, he teaches adjusting for the players which is a hard thing to do. |

One of the better Limit books, to be sure.

i bought "real poker II, the play of hands" after mason gave it a strong recommendation here. it is a good book. however, i was surprised that several times i thought he made a slightly incorrect play and didn't seem to notice. but overall it is pretty good.

I love this book - it's nice to just pick it up and open it to a random article and gives lots to think about. Great, great read.
