Deciding between NLHTAP and PNLv1.

[phydaux]

Theory of poker is just that - Theory. The value of position, the value of a free card, optimum bluffing frequency based on game theory. That sort of thing.

Lots of examples, but all the examples are from forms of limit hold'em because NL really wasn't spread as a cash game back when the book was first written. This doesn't make the book outdated or its concepts inapplicable, though. It just means that, as an NL cash game player, you'll need to think more than a limit hold'em, Razz, Stud, Stud/8 or Omaha/8 player would.

And getting you to think about poker at a high level is what this and other "advanced" poker books are all about, NOT giving you "cookie cutter" lines to play over and over in similar situations.
