I'd welcome a review, but don't rush through it. Read it, think on it, then review.

Mine's on import, so probably a week or two before I get it.

I'm down about 7 BI's in the last 2000 hands. I'm running bad and playing worse. I had just doubled through this guy and a few hands later get AA. Back to some 100NL for a couple hours.

Im at page 50 now since I last posted. I cant read this whole thing it basically does a pretty good job of explaining no limit fundamentals that have never appeared in text but that we aquire from playing lots of hands(just like MTTR said). I can honestly say that the newbs will get alot of serious value from this book and everyone needs to buy this, It is much better book thant NLTAP I can tell.

Im gonna skip to the last 1/3 like and see what this "new" thinking is all about.

Has anyone else noticed that 100nl is becoming over run with short stacker's? Some times it seems you can't find a table that doesn't have 3 or 4 of them. If it keeps going at this pace there is only going to be one or two people at the tables with a full stack.

I understand allot of them are bad but it really is getting ridiculous.
