The nice thing about books is that you get insight into many different authors perspectives on the game, game play, strategies, reading the board, reading other players and their actions, arious ways of playing different types of players in similar or different situations, as well as dealing with all the different types of adversity that you face playing poker.
Books broaden my poker horizons and my knowledge base, by giving me many different iews, perspectives, and interpretations of the subject, from which to build from. If you want to learn to be ery good at something, you need to incorporate as much of the knowledge base about the subject as possible.
Almost every author will state in their books that the information, strategies, and style of play that they use works for them, but not necessarily for you, and that you should experiment and find what works best for you in all the arious situations that you find yourself in any one game.
But even with all the learned knowledge, you still need to get out there and experiment, make the mistakes, hopefully learn from them, incorporate the learned knowledge and become that better player, and not go broke in the process.
