I've only read one Mcevoy book and I was less than impressed. He's got a gazillion of them on the market, but I assume they're all rather simplistic and include rehashed material from previous books he's written (especially the NL stuff)

I don't buy his stuff anymore.

"It sounded like they dictated this book to their editor over a few beers. "

You are right of course - which is why I ranked it where I did in terms of Omaha books I have read.

I also agree that I can learn more from Buzz'z posts than TJ's war stories.

Nobody has even mentioned the new Bill Boston book. A ton on numbers, but well worth the money.

Disclosure, I've only recently begun playing O8.

I got Cappelletti's book and he repeatly makes a point of how O8 is much more profitable than Hold 'Em because the difference in the fairly skilled and the expert is marginal.

Is he exaggerating?

Here's his article on that.

How is the section about Omaha 8 in Bob Ciaffone's book "Omaha Poker" ?

Tenner/Krieger book is easy to read, has simple starting hand requirements, and IMO does a good job of showing basic situations of when to raise with what kinds of hands, and when to go for an overcall.

It is LO8 though.

The Rolf Slotbloom books is supposed to be killer. I haven't gotten it yet but I've read a few of his articles and they are very good, but he has a lot of "trust me, don't do this" points without saying why they are bad ideas.
