Someone asked me what my style is. I told them that I am a chameleon. I can't just get up from a table because it is not perfect for my one set style. If I am at a loose table, I will adjust accordingly. If I am at a tighter table with thinking players (albeit incorrectly), I will play a different style. When you are playing live, you don't have time to sit around and wait for some specified table to sit down at.

He also says LAGS are extremely destructive to the game, and if they are playing you basically have to wait for cards, which destroys your image.

This is a very true statement.

- LAGS are extremely destructive to the game - this part is not true for a good player, in fact it can make a good player's expectation greater but he will have to work harder to achieve it.

Okay, we're out of context again, driven mostly by people who haven't read the book, or at least the entire book.

In fact, at one point the book says we want, ideally, two LAGS at the table; we want a variety. More LAGS are okay.

In fact, the book says we have to change our game if there are a table full of LAGS. And we must have a large bankroll. (I've been in 1-2 blinds LAG games where $10,000 was a medium stack.)

In fact, the book says a predominantly LAG game is not ideal because the good player prefers to play variety, switching gears constantly. But we're not afraid of LAGS; the book only makes the comparison.

In fact, the book says we prefer to have control of the game. We know consistent winning is about control of the game and such control can be obtained best in a game with a variety of players.

That's what the book says.

Sam (and all)

Despite being one of the posters, that have ripped into the lag statement, I am in no doubt that this is a good book!

The only issue that seems to be with it, is that you have to get thru 225 pages before it really gets interesting. (Feel free to correct me here too) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thx, Gelford.

The Dominator section begins on page 227, to be exact, and it's for players of your caliber. For you, I hope the fun starts there.

But I've had inquiries from this forum concerning transition from limit to no limit. The first half of the book is for them; they have to catch up to you.

I got the book on tuesday from amazon uk and the copy i got was fine, no problems with the print or paper. I imagine that since other stockists in the uk are only now starting to list it as in stock it, that copies bought here are likely to be good quality. i havent had much time to read it yet, only getting to page 20. As a newbie to poker, and even newer to no limit, i am liking the stuff early on so far....but then i like picking up information on little things like histories etc.

Thanks, dirty

All books are in good print now. The old ones were recalled some weeks ago.
