Advanced Limit Holdem Strategy by Barry Tanenbaum

agoldenbear · #1 04-10-2007, 03:53 AM

I just happened upon this upcoming release while searching "limit hold em" on amazon. It appears to be coming out in May some time. Can anyone comment on the author or shed some light on the expected quality? Tanenbaum is also collaborating on a shorthanded text with Terry Borer and Lawrence Mak due out in August. I say that as though I've ever heard of these guys. Both books are to be published by D&B, the publishers of Byron Jacobs and Rolf Slotboom books.

Barry Tanenbaum is a columnist for Card Player, so if you want to see what his writing is like, check out an issue or their web site. Personally, he's my favorite writer for that magazine, and I know he's a successful player, so this is a book that I'm anticipating more than most.

Looks like that will be a very good book.

I've taken a lesson from Barry in the past and he is very good at getting his point across in a straightforward, easy to understand fashion. I think he is one of the best thinkers of the game out there and I will definitely pick this one up.

I have also had the opportunity to meet and talk with Mr. Tannenbaum. I would purchase any book he writes.

Me too. Barry worked with Lee Jones on the 3rd edition of Lee's book, and it was much improved from earlier editions.

Boy has this forum changed. 1 year ago people would be chuckling if someone said anything positive about lee Jone's book even the third edition, although everyone agrees its better than the prior two) - instead advising the poster to read Small Stakes Hold'em (the bible on how to play low limit loose and passive Hold'em games).

Barry is a close friend of mine so I may be a little biased. But I've been coached by him, sweated him, played with him and had many long discussions about poker with him, so I don't think my affection for Barry clouds my thinking. Here's my opinion. Barry is a superb player, coach, writer and thinker. If his book is anything like his coaching sessions, and I'm sure it will be, you will make money from reading it and applying what he teaches.
