Re: Mark Blade\'s book(s)
Figured it out? This book hasn't anything to do with "Professional Poker", only getting prepared to be a pro, which anyone with some common sense should know how to do (or figure out on their own). Like you said, this book delivers nothing on poker strategy and that's why I said it's one of the most useless poker books I have ever read and I stick to it.
This book is neither "professional" or "essential" like it says in its title and how you can say that it delivers what it intended is quite laughable. This book should have been called "Getting prepared to play poker for beginners". If you thought it was a great book then fine, im not going to harp on this. cheers.

Or are some people good at different things from others, do you reckon?

ummm, I think it's a far cry from learning the intracacy of poker strategy compared the majority of this books content. [/ QUOTE ] I know you do. I was suggesting you think about other people.

thanks. Next time see if you can actually add something to a discussion. [/ QUOTE ] Read the cover of the book before you buy it. If you want a book on how to play cards, only read 2+2. Then avoid telling us that the book Mark Blade wrote wasn't the one you wanted to read.

Re: Mark Blade\'s book(s)
hmmmm the book is called "Professional Poker;an essential guide for playing for a living", not "Getting prepared to play poker for beginners", which is probably what it should have been called. If people disagree then thats fine, Im not going to continue to waste my time on it.
I also dont think that you should only read 2+2 for playing your cards. They may be the best in general but other publishers such as D&B I think are also good in that respect.

Something it was never intended to be. It is not a book on how to play poker. This is like saying that as a romance novel, Bringing Down The House sucks. The biggest fault in my mind is the references to books, PP2 and PP3, that don't even exist. And the author writes about them not as if they are going to be published, but that they were published.
