all i ask is why would a good player leave himself only 10bb at start of a hand?. I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN THIS EVER playing many hours of no-limit in mississippi yet!
i own about ten 2+2 books. I have even met mason in AC back in the late 90's. they are the best books on poker but they are not perfect. the closest book i have seen to perfect is of course ed millers incredible limit book. im sure that this no-limit book is very good but i have to say i dont like hand examples used to define a point when those examples are highly unlikely to happen.

which by the way leads me to say that anyone who wrote a poker book containing hand examples as exactly played with all thought processes throught the entire book would bve a awesome book. and if this book was stretched out to cover hand example samples for say several months it would be ideal. imagine having a no-limit pro tell you why he did what he did for 100's of hand examples covering every aspect of his play! david grey would be a excellent choice to write it.

to preserve the integrity of these boards, ban must be utilized more diligently

Thanks for the book Sunny, Matt, and Ed. I am just starting part 4 and so far I think the book is FAAANTASTIC!!! Just played a 1k hand session and used the REM process consciously for the first time. I felt my self thinking more about the game, making better decisions and paying much more attention to my opponents play. I am really looking forward to finishing this fantastic book. and I cant wait for Vol.2. thanks guys!!

i cant believe how little fuzz this book has created, when NLHTAP came out everybody and there mother wanted to get one.
but PNL hasnt even been mentioned outside of this forum, i guess thats the power of sklansky

Quick review after quick reading:
Very nicely written and clear
Very focused, more so than I would have thought possible in an NL book attempting a wide range of stack sizes (although obv incomplete)
LOL at some of the [censored] posted by people who haven't read it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
But you did leave out the preflop hand charts? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
I'll be buying Vol 2 and they'd better be in there [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Is there any content on HU in this book? If not, will there be in future volumes?

Speaking as a regular NL cash game player, I hope that trend continues.

The last thing I want is for the chumps to smarten up.
